"With the rate of
emerging technologies, and the rate at which other nations are
surpassing our digital footprint, it is more important than ever for
Canada to regain it's internet leadership. This online consultation
process is an opportunity for Canadians to shape their future. It is of
primordial importance for all web users to participate in this vast
consultation before it's July 9th deadline."
Individuals and organizations can participate in an online forum, post
comments, research and memoirs related to the advancement of our
Digital Economy. The Halifax Regional CAP Association also hopes that
the federal government will include Nova Scotian communities in all
aspects of this consultation process, including official languages and
minority groups. This would ensure that the Digital Economic Strategy
encompasses the rights of all web users,and in particular, those effected by the ever-expanding Digital Divide. Internet technology is an integral part of life. Be it health, culture, communications, business... emerging technologies play a crucial role in the our development, and the development of our future generations. The Halifax Regional CAP Association is pleased to see that our government is taking action to regain our lost digital leadership.
