Conference on Digitalization
May 5-6, 2021
On May 5-6, 2021, the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie (APF) held a conference on how francophone parliaments can regulate digitalization. Mr. Francis Drouin, M.P., Chair of the Canadian Branch and First Vice-Chair of the APF, who acted as moderator, Ms. Marie-France Lalonde, Mr. Joël Godin and Mr. Chris d’Entremont participated in the various discussions.
The conference served as a lead up to the drafting of the APF’s Opinion at the Francophonie Summit in Djerba in November. During this two-day event, francophone parliamentarians as well as several experts discussed:
• parliamentarians’ interest in digital governance;
• democracy in the digital age: fundamental freedoms and public accountability;
• francophone parliamentarians and digital giants;
• the public and digitalization: access, protection and use; and
• discoverability of francophone content.
Following discussions, the francophone parliamentarians made proposals for priority areas of francophone actions, including:
• equitable access to the Internet and the urgent need to reduce the digital divide through incentives to fund infrastructure;
• democratic transparency through digital technology;
• the need to harmonize legislation on digital issues throughout the Francophonie;
• the systematic integration of digitalization into public policy; and
• training in new digital practices, innovation, IT and creativity.
