A parliamentary petition has been started to try to encourage the Canadian Government to join the Fediverse. If you want to support this petition, follow the link to Chris Alameny’s post where you’ll find links to both French and English versions of the petition. You have to be a Canadian citizen to sign the petition. We only need a few more signatures to get over the 500 needed. We’d love to see every Province and Territory represented.

By join the fediverse, do you mean instances moderated by the federal government? What would be the desired outcome?

I think it means for gov't agencies (hopefully at all levels) to make important announcements available here as opposed to twitter or other closed platforms

Shouldn't it be in addition to?

Realistically it would be, they're not about to cut 99%+ of users off from their announcements.

Hell, for really important stuff they still go with snail mail.
