Thank you for your question.
I think a comprehensive digital society is probably at the very core of a lot of these issues. It's not only the social media; you're talking about e-commerce and you're talking about mobile technology. By and large, we are dealing in a global arena and fighting for resources to be successful. If I am building an industry or a company, I'm looking for a resource that can best deliver the product regardless of whether they're from Ontario, Quebec, or Hong Kong.
On the global scale, we want to make sure that we have the conditions right to attract the top talent from everywhere in the world, so that they look to Canada as a destination place. We need to be the country where these innovations are spurred. We need to be the country where these industries are built if we want to build a knowledge-based economy.
To create those conditions, we need to have the framework that supports all of the pieces. Privacy and the social media is only one aspect of it. The other aspects are equally important. We need to have the appropriate intellectual property regime. We need to have appropriate taxation policies. We need to have proper education standards. All of these dots need to be connected. When we look at a digital strategy, these are all part of the conditions. We cannot just optimize on one. All of them need to be dealt with, and that's what industry is looking for.
One of the things we need to understand as we build in this world is that, fundamentally, the biggest part is the education. We all need to understand that if we put something online it is not always private. All communication is not always private. There is a separation of data that, as the professor mentioned, certain things are completely private offline, but anything you put online in terms of communication is not always private. It's online and it has a longevity much beyond what we're looking at.
