Working with our membership, ITAC establishes and sets targets for where Canada's knowledge economy should be compared to key peer/competitor nations. Where we fall short, ITAC determines what we need to do to get there and ensure we do what is needed in areas such as: skills, capital, tax, science & technology, and collaboration.
ITAC believes Canadian businesses should be leaders in the use of ICT for competitive advantage, productivity and growth. Use of ICT by small and medium enterprises should increase towards that of our US counterparts. By partnering with other associations, as well as with Government, we work to ensure public policy supports these goals.
ITAC strives to ensure Federal, Ontario and other Canadian Governments are leaders in ICT use. ITAC positions itself as a trusted advisor to Government. We gather industry leaders and Government together and work to make it easier for our industry to sell to government.
ITAC believes the Canadian healthcare system should be a world-leading user of ICT to achieve superior patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness, as well as fostering development of a world-leading Canadian health ICT industry. ITAC works to correct chronic under-spend on ICT.
ITAC’s view is Canada’s laws should promote leadership in development and use of advanced technology. We want to ensure efficient and cost-effective measures to protect privacy and instill confidence in the e-economy.
ITAC believes that in order for Canada to continue to compete worldwide, we need to promote policies that will ensure a steady supply of talented men and women for our local ICT industry. We work with industry as well as with Federal, Provincial and local governments to establish initiatives to support this goal.

Company Description
With 450+ lawyers in Toronto, Montréal, Calgary, Ottawa and New York, Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP provides integrated services with specialists in virtually every area of business law. Osler advises many of Canada’s corporate leaders as well as U.S. and international clients with interests in Canada.
For ehealth projects, we have the right mix of practical knowledge derived from hands-on project exposure, deep industry knowledge and highly regarded legal expertise to help ehealth participants successfully execute projects. Recently we assisted with all aspects of governance and outsourcing for Hospital Diagnostic Imaging Repository Services (HDIRS) and Northern and Eastern Ontario Diagnostic Imaging Network (NEODIN) digital imaging repositories. Osler advised both issuers and bidders on countless technology-related requests for proposals (RFPs). We have advised major technology and service vendors on best approaches to technology RFPs issued by governments and the health care sector. RFPs we’ve advised on include: Ontario Laboratory Information System, British Columbia Physician Electronic Medical Record RFP, British Columbia Provincial Information Lab Systems RFP, Saskatchewan Health Record RFI, and GTA West DIR RFP.
On October 21, 2009, Osler in partnership with ITAC Health, presented a seminar on eHealth Transformation Projects and the New Infrastructure Ontario Approach, bringing our expertise in health project governance, public private partnerships and technology contracting to an ITAC audience.
