In Canada, governments, private sector, academia and the Canadian public are being asked for their thoughts and suggestions online on a national digital economy strategy. This has been initiated as part of a federal government consultative process leading towards new regulation and legislation. It aims at building consensus in developing a digital economy strategy for the federal government of Canada. Online consultation will position Canada at the forefront in the global digital economy in changing economic scenario of the world. In fact, government of Canada actively uses digital media as a means to promote public discussion on a topic of significant importance not only for economic reasons, but also for social, legal, and cultural reasons as well. The Consultation discusses five key challenges in developing a digital economy strategy: Canada's capacity to innovate using digital technologies, building a world-class digital infrastructure, growing the Information and Communications Technology industry, creating a digital content advantage through a strong and competitive digital media industry, and building digital skills for all Canadians. Interested parties can participate in two ways: through an online Open Forum or by sending a formal submission.
