The Ontario government says it is looking for the public’s input on a possible digital ID program that would allow for people to prove who they are online much easier.
The hope is that the program will be introduced by the end of 2021.
The program will allow for people to “securely and conveniently prove their identity online,” according to the Ford government. It will also help people to be able to access things online rather than have to travel to do things in-person, the government said, such as a small business applying for a license or a parent looking for information on their child’s immunization records.
