After an increasing number of Canadians and businesses moved online throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, three-quarters of the population feels it’s important to have a secure and privacy-enhancing digital ID to safely make transactions online.
Moreover, a survey from Digital ID and Authentication Council of Canada (DIACC) has revealed that the majority of Canadians believe it is important for federal and provincial governments to move quickly on enabling digital ID in a safe and secure manner.
However, the lack of standardization has long been known to hurt the ability of people and businesses to secure or even use the new identity verification tech.

Government consultations

The Ontario government, in a virtual conversation with the Council of Canadian Innovators (CCI) on Ontario’s digital future, has finally revealed information about the technology and standards that the province will use to build its digital identity ecosystem.
Over the past nine months, the province says it has consulted with 68 organizations, more than 100 industry experts, and held five two-hour roundtable discussions on digital identity.
As one of the first jurisdictions in North America to publish this information, Ontario says Digital ID, when fully launched later this fall, will allow people and businesses to prove who they are both online and in person with built-in safety features that protect users’ privacy and personal information.

The DIACC survey also indicated that collaboration between governments and the private sector continues to be considered the best approach to create a pan-Canadian digital ID framework and it looks as though the Ontario government is on track with this.
The Ontario government says the province’s digital ID will comply with emerging digital ID industry standards, and will be designed to interoperate with digital IDs in other Canadian jurisdictions. It also noted that open-source solutions and open standards will be used wherever possible, and private-sector innovation will be encouraged.
Further, to ensure the privacy and security of Ontarians’ digital ID, the provincial government says “appropriate legal, privacy and security measures will be put in place so that users feel confident that their personal information will be kept secure and their privacy will be respected”. Ontario’s Information and Privacy Commissioner Patricia Kosseim continues to be engaged to help inform and guide this work.
Tech standards that will govern your Ontario digital ID

The Ontario government has noted on its website that Ontario’s digital ID will be based on tech standards from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF), Trust Over IP Foundation, and OpenID connect.
Some of the tech standards that the provincial government says it is currently considering include the Verifiable Credentials Data Model 1.0 for data modeling, Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0 for key management, JSON-LD 1.1 for data formatting, OpenID Connect as identity standard, BBS+ Signatures 2020 and Ed25519 Signature 2020 for signature format, Self-Issued OpenID Provider v2 and more for interoperability. Other tech standards that the province says it plans to use for digital ID can be found here.
“Openly sharing our technology approach to digital identity is an essential step in our plan to provide more convenient, private and secure ways to prove who you are,” Kaleed Rasheed, Associate Minister of Digital Government, noted in a news release. “Today’s announcement responds directly to what we continue to hear from sector partners, stakeholders and the public – Ontario’s approach to technology needs to be ambitious, innovative and transparent.”
In addition to tech standards, key principles that will underpin Ontario’s digital identity program, according to the Ontario government, include compliance with current industry standards and laws, including:

• The CIO Strategy Council’s Digital Trust and Identity – Part 1: Fundamentals (CAN/CIOSC 103-1:2020)
• Government of Canada’s Verified Person Conformance Criteria
• DIACC-Pan-Canadian Trust Framework
• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
• Ontario Digital Service’s Digital Service Standard
• Anti-Racism Data Standards
• Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA)
• Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA)
• Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA)
• Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA)

Here’s how the Ontario government will verify your digital ID

According to the Ontario government, the verifiable credential model will be used to ensure trust throughout the process of digital ID verification.

First, the holder requests a digital ID and goes through an ID proving process to establish their identity. Once the ID requirements are satisfied, the issuer will create a digital ID credential, issue it to the holder and publish the public cryptographic keys associated with that digital ID to the verifiable data registry, which uses distributed ledger technology, the provincial government explained.
When the holder wants to use their digital ID (for example to prove their age at the liquor store), they may tap or scan their digital ID on the verifier’s reader to present (with their consent) the required identity information. This interaction triggers a request to the verifiable data registry to retrieve the Ontario government’s public key, which confirms that the holder’s presented credential is accurate and hasn’t been tampered with.

Regulation - LGIC
Ministry of Transportation (MTO) Modernizing Ontario's Vehicle Inspection Program and Integrating Safety and Emissions Testing for Commercial Vehicles
Regulation Number(s):
TBD

Instrument Type:
Regulation - LGIC

Bill or Act:
Highway Traffic Act

Summary of Proposal:
MTO is proposing to implement changes to the HTA to support a new Vehicle Inspection Program. Details for how program changes will impact vehicle owners and stations currently performing emissions and/or safety inspections can be found in the attachment. To achieve the ministry's objectives of a modern, digitized program that is streamlined and efficient for users, the ministry will:
•Proclaim provisions from the Transportation Statute Law Amendment Act (Making Ontario's Roads Safer), 2015:
oReplacing the current MVIS program with the new Vehicle Inspection Program;
oPermit the new inspection program to be delivered through a contract between an inspection centre and the ministry; and
oProclaim provisions that limit vehicle brand change requests to the ministry.
•Create a Vehicle Inspection regulation that will:
oIntroduce a new emissions inspection fee and interim certificate that can only be issued by a Vehicle Inspection Centre.
oRequire all inspections to be completed by qualified Ontario College of Trades technicians and permit refusal/revocation of technicians. Currently certified emission technicians may continue to perform emission tests.
oPermit MVIS participants to operate under current requirements (Regulation 611/601):
Issuing Periodic Mandatory Commercial Vehicle Inspection (PMCVI) certificates until Aug 1, 2023.
Issuing Safety Standards and Structural Inspection Certificates until Dec 31, 2023.
oFully phase out the MVIS program as of Dec 31, 2023, by not renewing MVIS licenses after that date. Stations will continue to be required to maintain records for a 1-year period.
•Amend HTA Regulation 628 to require that Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMV) pass a PMCVI before the vehicle permit is issued or renewed for both used and new vehicles.
•Proclaim provisions from the Better for People, Smarter for Business Act, 2019:
oThe amendments repeal sections dealing with motor vehicle emissions from the EPA and add sections addressing emissions to the HTA.
oProvide for the regulation of on-road vehicle emissions standards under the HTA and prohibit tampering or the sale of tampering devices.
•Create a regulation setting out detailed rules on vehicle emissions that reflect requirements currently addressed in the EPA, including:
oProhibiting vehicle operation when:
The On-Board Diagnostic system indicates a malfunction for CMV's with a vehicle weight of 6350kg or less;
There is visible smoke for 5 seconds within a 1-minute time frame; and,
There are missing or damaged emission systems or components.
oRequiring assembled vehicles to have the required emission systems/devices to prevent/lessen discharge or emission of pollutants.
oEstablishing smoke opacity thresholds:
20% for all CMV's 2008 - 2010
30% for all CMV's 1991 - 2007
40% for CMV's 1990 and older (if vehicle not a school bus)
30% for school buses (1990 and older)
•Introduce new requirements in the HTA emission regulation, specifically:
oEnhancing emission requirements by introducing a smoke opacity standard of 10% for all CMV's 2011 and newer subject to inspection.
oThe new regulation supports section 75.1 of the HTA setting out specific emissions rules applicable to driver, operators, and owners of vehicles. It provides definitions to support the anti-tampering provision of the legislation and prohibits drivers/owners from operating a vehicle that has been tampered with.
•Make consequential amendments to regulations identified in attached

Analysis of Regulatory Impact:
Program changes focus on the benefits of streamlined, digital services that will address fraud and bring a level playing field for business. Business will also benefit by reduced administrative burdens associated with eliminating requirements to: pre-purchase inspection certificate stock; submit paper-based annual renewals; pay annual renewal fees and provide paper-based forms as notification of station technician information.

Participating stations will continue to be required to pay the ministry for issued inspection certificates. Certificate fees have not been determined at this time but are expected to be higher than current fees to address the costs associated with the enhanced program delivery and fraud reduction (expected to be more aligned to current emissions testing fees). Government stations will be required to purchase required inspection certificates, creating a level playing field across all sectors.

Stations will also be required to obtain the required program equipment.
• Stations performing light-duty/passenger vehicle inspections will require an equipment package consisting of a tablet and connector cables with an estimated cost of approximately $1500.
• Stations performing diesel commercial vehicle annual/semi-annual inspections will require an equipment package that includes a wireless sticker (inspection decal) printer with an estimated cost of approximately $2000.
• Any station opting to complete mobile inspections will require the same equipment as a stationary garage, as well as an equipment package consisting of a video camera, tripod, and light with an estimated cost of approximately $300.
• Stations who do not currently have the required emission reading device may purchase one at an estimated cost of approximately $3000 to begin performing integrated inspections. These stations continue to have the option to utilize a third-party emission service to complete this portion of the inspection.

The current regulatory requirements of the emissions inspection program found in the EPA will be addressed in directives issued under the HTA. Additions for the new inspection will reflect the modernization of emissions control systems on modern vehicles, as well as related inspection technology. Minimal to no additional cost-related impacts are anticipated for well maintained vehicles in the regulated community (owners/operators of heavy diesel commercial vehicles/buses) that are in compliance with the current emission regulation.

Lori Wright-Snake says:
your car has to be hooked up to it
and if anything is wrong it needs to be fixed.
It is hooked into the ministry
and once everything is good
it will spit out a sticker for you.
With a chip in it.

So if you think Doug Ford is doing you a favour by sending back your license sticker money. Think again. Just talked with a mechanic and he has to purchase a machine to do safety checks. $32000 is the price tag. You will have to have your vehicle safety checked every year or 2 years whatever you purchase. He said it will not be a cheap safety. Around 300 dollars he thinks and everything on your car has to pass. Extra cost if you need something done. Once you pass the ministry will send a sticker with a chip in it and the cops will not have to stop you they will automatically know if you have a sticker or not. What’s next? Digital id. Look it up on the ministry website

Debbie Alliet says:
I agree that they will find a way to recoup the money however i have not found anything on the website regarding safety checks.
Lori Wright-Snake says:
well I heard this right from a mechanic and he has to buy the machine

Of course it's marketed as a lovely convenience in the name of covid hard times, that everything's moved online.
Solution remains simple

- Don't download it. Don't comply. Don't energize their plans.

Definitely don't panic or worry.

Keep the power of our focus on our power and light, stay in heart coherence and make our enthusiasm
for a better world contagious. It's what we came for!
