Instead of wasting time on these frivolous matters, the chief information officer should be looking at doing some real work like passing real time rail in Canada. But then again, what can you expect from a country which things of work to be too much of a burden?
Unclear to the outside observer whether delays to that are caused by insufficient staffing because all the government security personnel were evaluating WeChat and Kaspersky.
The CIO of Canada is part of the Treasury Board which is the body that oversees government spending, including government employees.
Real Time Rail is payments infrastructure. The national implementation of that would be overseen by The Bank of Canada which is responsible for monetary policy and part of the Ministry of Finance.
Not clear to me what OP is trying to say, and whether or not you agree with the decision, I'd argue it's pretty important to ensure the cybersecurity of some 300k public sector employees, many of whom have access to sensitive information

How about not letting people install private crap on work phone?
