Funding is always a big issue: who should be the funder? Certainly, education is a provincial jurisdiction, but the federal government can be a champion in helping to establish the interest level in this kind of debate and in establishing the need to raise digital literacy. Public Safety Canada works hard on keeping “cyber safe”. There's a variety of different programs across government departments federally that contribute to that and to consumer protection and so on.
Fundamentally, if we are going to get things into the curriculum, it's certainly a private sector issue, but it's also for the non-profit sector. I think corporations can do their part. Right now, for instance, we're seeing a huge amount of interest in teaching women how to code and getting women into STEM fields, which I think is fantastic, because we are seeing a declining enrolment of women in STEM education. Some of these programs are going to young girls in grade school and then right through to high school and university.
I think the non-profit sector is able to do a whole lot with really limited resources. I also think that the provinces are obviously the keys in education curriculum, but the federal government can be a champion by pointing out the national nature of this need and making sure that all the players across Canada do their part in helping to make a dent in this issue.
