Canada as a Digital Nation
The new economy is crucial to Canada’s success as a nation
The country has strengths, but lacks depth and reach in the digital media sector
Canada as a Digital Nation
Collaboration, content and commitment to Canada are the core requirements of the new order
Responding to the challenges of the digital media revolution could be a nation-building enterprise of fundamental significance.
What is a Digital Nation?
Every citizen is connected All content used in society
is available An ownership model is fair
and transparent Common activities in
society are just as easy in digital
Canada Project: Enable Canadians
Only 1% of Canada’s content is online….
* It costs less to scan a book than to print a book

Digital Media Ethics
Intellectual Property Rights
No country has figured out a sustainable approach to intellectual property rights for the 21st century
A huge national advantage will result for the nation that bridges the rights and needs of content providers, technology providers and commercial interests
Intellectual Property Rights
Moving forward requires both a new approach and a new mindset; this is not a time to rely on old models and long-standing assumptions

Digital Shovels
Canada has lost its early advantage in digital infrastructure. Significant improvements are needed if the country is to remain competitive
ICT strengths of Canada have not been matched by their take up and use in all sectors of the economy
Digital Shovels
Digital Shovels
Canada has built decent pipelines but has not yet produced the content base to keep the pipelines full of Canadian material.
Put simply, is the Internet a means of building a sense of Canadian identity or is it simply a highway to international content
Digital Shovels
Digital Shovels
The country needs to keep a close eye on international developments. The appropriate benchmark is whether or not Canada has kept up with the rest of the world
ICT is crucial to the delivery of modern public services
Canada will benefit significantly from a proper digital infrastructure
Digital Shovels
Digital Shovels
Canada needs a national program to get the content unique to Canada online for all Canadians
This program needs to be led by the federal government but it must be supported by other levels of Government and the private sector

Canada’s universities and colleges needs to do a better job of producing and training talented digital media personnel
There is a disconnect between industry/sector needs and the skills and training of college and university graduates
Talent Attraction and Retention
Talent Attraction and Retention
Canada’s post secondary system needs to respond more quickly to changes in the digital media space
Our colleges and universities need to pay urgent attention to the manner in which we train, cultivate and support entrepreneurs
Expand definition to include social entrepreneurship
Talent Attraction and Retention
Talent Attraction and Retention
This country needs to build loyalty among its highly skilled people, entrepreneurs.

Digital Media Research & Commercialization
Eugene Roman, CIO, Open Text Corporation
Kevin Tuer, Managing Director, Canadian Digital Media Network
Research and Commercialization
Building a culture for entrepreneurship and risk taking is key
Entrepreneurs should be treated like ‘rock stars’
Time to look to the arts for a source of innovation
Digital Media Research & Commercialization
Research and Commercialization
Canada’s challenge is to commercialize new ideas and accelerate companies
Use digital media to augment your business rather than to become a digital media business
The challenge lies in the nurturing of partnerships between universities, governments, companies, and creators.
Digital Media Research & Commercialization
Research and Commercialization
Canada lacks the models, venture capital and commitment to match competitor nations
Financing models needs to evolve to meet the pace of change
Build the business plan first, before looking for finance
Governments should help by filling the gaps that private sector cannot

COMPLEXITY
Our support for excellence must span engineering, the natural and health sciences, and include the human sciences – the social sciences, humanities and the arts.
Learning, culture and societies are being transformed in this rapidly changing, technologically driven world. The human sciences will be central to understanding and advancing human and social well being in this new milieu.
Indira Samarasekera, President, University of Alberta National Science Day, May 27
If it is possible – and it surely is – that the application of science, technology, and innovation to all the above challenges can have unanticipated consequences, some of them negative, is it not to the social sciences and humanities that we must look to conduct the ethical, economic, environmental, social, and legal impact assessments that will forewarn us of those negative possibilities and enable us to avoid or mitigate them?
Preston Manning, National Science Day, May 27, 2009
The understanding of the human mind - memory, emotions, and what it means to be human - will be advanced through collaboration between neuroscience and the humanities.
Successful societies are built around creative and well-balanced communities, University of Toronto president David Naylor told a Toronto business crowd recently. You can't have them without the social sciences, the arts and the humanities.
