Yes

Specific Topics of Lobbying Communications	Intended Outcomes	Associated Subject Matters
Cisco Canada's equipment is widely utilized within the Government of British Columbia. As the Government prepares for what the Post-Pandemic world might look like, Cisco would like to engage the public service and political branches to showcase technology that the Government of British Columbia may be interested in procuring as part of their future roadmap. This includes technology related to virtual courts, correctional services, and the hybrid workforce. From a public service standpoint, our engagements with Education, Justice, Infrastructure, Health, and Citizen Services will be oriented around showcasing technology used for digital education, justice, healthcare and citizen services. Elsewhere in Canada and the world, Cisco is radically reshaping these areas through the adaption of new technologies and we would like to share these stories with the Government of British Columbia to explore whether there are procurement opportunities for Cisco Canada. From a political standpoint, our engagements run along the same vein. Cisco Canada would like to inform politicians within the province on trends and new technologies being adopted elsewhere in the world in response to the pandemic. The sharing of this information will inform the political branch of the scope and scale of funding required to embark on future digital transformation initiatives that incorporate these new technologies. From time to time, these discussions involve the delivery of social services or indigenous communities, which is why we included relevant ministries in our contact plan.
