Go to say, i love flying ✈️,
but on a day like today, i’m soooo grateful for #rail 🚞
I will be home for Christmas after all! ☺️
Took part in great discussion about the role of #youth in developing innovative, dynamic and #sustainable transportation
A few takeaways:
➡️Importance of #Transport policies for #Climate
➡️Need to engage youth in all future plans
➡️Great careers in Transport!

It has been a privilege to attend #ICAO41 and witness the important work being done to make air travel and airports safer, greener and better. ✈️
Incredibly proud that Canada (and my home town of @Montreal!) is host to this important @UN body
I delivered a speech at #ICAO41 about international partners working collaboratively, finding justice for PS752, reducing pollution in the aviation sector, and our support for Ukraine. Canada is proud to put forward those initiatives and work with partners to make them happen.
Last month, I had the privilege, one last time, to represent Canada on #OpenGovernment at the @OECD
We discussed ways to strengthen #democracy, measures to safeguard healthy civic space, and Brazil and Canada presented a scan of their open government program
(Thread 1/10)
As for me?
Well, I’m very excited to announce that I’ve become Director General, International Relations and Trade Policy at @Transport_gc
You might wonder what is my purpose and intent in moving from open data, trust and democracy to… #Transportation?

Transportation is key to a brighter future
- For #Safety and to safeguard #SupplyChains
- In addressing #ClimateChange
- To reduce inequalities
- For inclusive sustainable growth
and it brings us together
I’m very honoured to be a part of this
See you on the other side!

At #GCData2022 #CDO @StephenDBurt :
“On culture of sharing, for #data and #tech, it comes down to use case.
A use case that speaks to operational or mission need is where you start to find people mobilizing and changing the way they’re doing things.”
#DataSharing #OpenData
Chief statistician Anil Arora of @StatCan_eng :
“To reap the value of #data and solve problems, we must ALL pay attention to the unsexy things, such as :
#Standards
#Metadata
Anonymized data
De-identified data,
etc.
Define them, implement them
#GCData2022 #OpenData
GC #CIO Catherine Luelo, on concrete things we can do to build #inclusion in our #data work:
-Explainable #AI
-Assume that there is biais
-Openness and curiosity : an ability to bring different perspectives to data is essential
- Be tuned in to ongoing risk

At #GCData2022 , new (and first ever!) GC Chief Data Officer @StephenDBurt :
“As government, we’ve developed a bit of congestion, a series of somewhat informal practices to avoid the next thing. We have to be a bit tougher about how we accept risks”.
