2012 Update on Canadian Digital Economy Strategy

Industry Minister Christian Paradis (@christianparad) has provided an update

we are committed to delivering a Canadian digital economy strategy:

• One that is based on my conversations with you;
• One that challenges our innovators;
• One that drives new technology; and
• One that, through technology, benefits our entire economy.

Addressing the challenges we face with regard to access to capital and a literate workforce as well as adoption and productivity is also part of this strategy's framework.

This is the foundation upon which we will build a clear strategy for the sector and the economy as a whole.

But, later this year, when we put that strategy forward, it will only succeed if industry as well as federal, provincial and territorial governments work together.
