Sources frame the decision. They do not make it for the client.

These official pages support technical discovery for a Canadian engagement. Their role is to identify questions and responsible reviewers. Faith Forge Labs does not turn them into legal, tax, accessibility, procurement, or compliance conclusions.

Business and technology context

Start with the observed environment.

Official statistics provide context about digital technology use. They do not establish search volume, buyer intent, or project fit for this site.

Privacy responsibility

Route applicability to a qualified reviewer.

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner explains federal privacy principles and cross-border handling at a general level. A project still needs a client-side applicability and responsibility decision.

Commerce and accessibility

Keep project facts separate from obligations.

Tax and accessible-procurement sources can affect requirements, invoices, acceptance, or vendor evaluation. The client identifies what applies and who approves it.

Maintenance rule

Recheck sources before each engagement that depends on them. Record the exact page, review date, client decision owner, and resulting technical requirement. A stale link or remembered rule is not release evidence.

Turn references into owned decisions

Add the responsible reviewers to the brief.
