That's what they say ;-)

“The City of Gatineau and ID Gatineau are very proud to support and welcome the Digital Identity Laboratory of Canada in our city. Digital identity solutions are already key drivers of modern economies and they fuel an industry that will experience strong growth in the years to come. Gatineau enjoys an extremely enviable geostrategic position for this sector, as evidenced by the strength of the cybersecurity cluster that is developing on both sides of the river. The presence of Canada’s Digital Identity Laboratory will help fuel this dynamism.”
