Information Management/Information Technology (IM/IT) Strategic Policy

The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) is responsible for directing the development, maintenance and communication of government's information management/information technology (IM/IT) strategic policy, including Chapter 12 of Government's Core Policy and Procedures Manual.

The Legislation, Privacy and Policy branch (LPP), on behalf of the OCIO, creates, modifies and communicates IM/IT policy to enable government to effectively deliver programs and services to citizens.  IM/IT policies impact organizational, executive and employee responsibilities and are critical to moving transformational and strategic initiatives forward.
