Données Souveraines Québec submitted a detailed brief to the Quebec Treasury Board Secretariat as part of consultations on the 2025-2030 Government Cloud Strategy.
Our brief articulates three main requests: establishing an explicit preference for Canadian suppliers in IT procurement, creating a registry of certified "Quebec-resident data" providers, and adopting data residency requirements for systems processing personal information of Quebec citizens.
These measures are part of a coherent vision of digital sovereignty that protects both citizen privacy and the competitiveness of Quebec's IT industry.
