At Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, one of the tenets of the inclusive innovation agenda was the adaptation to the digital world, recognizing that a huge piece of the economy of the future, the modern economy, will be in this new world of Internet of things and streaming platforms and access to these sorts of digital industries.
In the same way that Minister Joly is consulting currently with respect to what that means for cultural policy, with a linkage over to what Minister Bains has been consulting on with respect to what that means for an innovation economy, we very much pay close attention to what this means, both in my world in terms of what that means for marketplace frameworks and what we need to provide as a foundation for innovation, but then also at the broader level of what sorts of supports, potentially, and even the linkages.... That is more outside of my remit, but some of my colleagues are looking at things such as the coding capabilities of young Canadians and the degree to which we're incentivizing and ensuring that we have both the talent and the workforce required to be able to participate effectively in that global digital world, but then also the business smarts and savvy to be able to create and adjust to those platforms.
