Madam Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories provide an update on its plan to reduce the use of faxing across the health and social services system, including:
- Metrics on reductions in the use of faxing achieved so far;
- The targets and associated timelines for future reductions; and
- If faxing cannot or will not be eliminated, an explanation on why the use of fax cannot or will not be eliminated, and what measures the department is taking to mitigate the risk of data breaches arising from misaddressed documents.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
