Mr. Speaker, from May 3 to May 12, 2002, we will pay tribute to those who have played a role in making information technology more accessible, visible and interesting.
Information Technology Week is jointly promoted by Industry Canada and the Information Technology Association of Canada.
For these ten days, communities, businesses, employees, teachers and students are encouraged to work together to find innovative ways to highlight and showcase achievements in information technology. In a knowledge-based society, people are the greatest resource.
Canada's Information Technology Week complements the “Connecting Canadians” initiative to make Canada the most connected country in the world.
