Yes, absolutely.
You are wondering whether we will always have to adjust and how we will be able to do so. I would say that individuals adjust fairly quickly to what they need. Businesses have no system to transform work processes. Sufficient thought has not been given to transforming professional practices. Digital technology is not used enough in Canada.
Canada-wide studies were done to see whether companies, such as SMEs, buy enough customer management systems. The answer is yes, but the problem has to do with how they are used. Their use is not effective and, all too often, companies struggle to determine the size of the system that they really need. They invest a lot of money, get discouraged and give up, which is unfortunate.
The Government of Quebec is asking us to regularly assess the digital skills in some companies. Employees have digital skills as individuals, but in the workplace, they must automate and transform their work. For the rest of our lives, we will have to do that with all systems. In education, for example, not every student needs to have an iPad or computer to improve their digital learning ability. It is a mistake to want to equip everyone, but teachers need to take a different pedagogical approach. Therein lies the problem. In our daily lives, the transformation is not enough.
I am very familiar with the Government of Quebec, but I know that the Government of Canada has good tax measures to encourage technology development. The fundamental question is whether companies, be they private or public, make optimal use of the technology. The answer is no. The gap is now widening. Canada's situation is becoming worse every year in these sectors in terms of adopting the technology because it does not make sufficient effort in this area.
