Industry Minister Christian Paradis gave a speech today [September 19, 2011] at the Wireless Canada Technology Showcase. The talk included references to forthcoming copyright reform, the reintroduction of privacy reforms (formerly Bill C-29), and plans to move forward with spectrum auctions.
It also talks about the importance of the digital economy and digital skills. Yet what it does not reference is the long-awaited digital economy strategy. With the change in ministers, have plans to release a national digital economy strategy changed too? The omission from a major speech suggests that the DES may be dead.
