Mathieu Juneau, Technical Advisor

1. Summary of the Last Meeting

2. Connecting With Members:

Due to long delays in receiving the UTE-CRA minutes, the Committee discusses the possibility of implementing a local presidents’ briefing (to be drafted by Idriss and reviewed by Committee members) that would be posted on the UTE website and serve to update locals on technological changes. A subsequent e-mail would be sent to all locals with a link to the briefing. For the first briefing the Committee would tell locals to advise their respective RVPs if there are any technological change issues taking place in their respective locals that are not reported in the briefing or if they are being done differently from what is mentioned in the briefing.

3. Open Discussion on Ideas for Promoting the Committee:

  1. UTE Newsletter articles;
  2. Presidents’ briefing with e-mail to locals;
  3. Email to locals with a link to the minutes once posted on the UTE website.

4. Review of the Written Updates and Agenda Items for the Upcoming CRA-UTE Meeting:

  1. UTE to request that the written updates be changed to reflect how updates are provided to the National Health and Safety Policy Committee (reverse chronological, with ongoing issues at the top, updated notes and closed items at bottom). This will ensure that nothing falls through the cracks and that closed items are only closed once both the UTE and the CRA agree.
  2. The committee chair will also demand updates on the following changes:
    1. “Secure online services”
    2. “E-Doc Initiatives – Collection and Trust Account Program”:
    3. “T1 Systems Redesign.”
