 Throughout the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], PHAC accessed data from some 33 million Canadian cell phones in order to track the movements of Canadians while under [[lockdown]] measures.((Oli, S. (2021, December 27). //Canada’s public health agency admits it tracked 33 million mobile devices during lockdown.// National Post. https://archive.ph/QxghQ)) In March 2021, the Agency awarded a contract to the [[TELUS|Telus Data For Good]] program to provide “de-identified and aggregated data” of movement trends in Canada. However, Telus was not the only third party involved; in May 2022, it was revealed that [[artificial intelligence]] company [[BlueDot]] had also been awarded a similar contract, and had used the data accessed to view a detailed snapshot of people's behaviour, including visits to the grocery store, gatherings with family and friends, time spent at home and trips to other towns and provinces.((Woolf, M.
