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.
