Connection Community Content
The Canadian government created an advisory council to provide advice on 15 issues related to development of a Canadian strategy for the information highway. Such a strategy would be based on the objectives of job creation, reinforcement of Canadian sovereignty and identity, and ensuring universal access at reasonable cost. In addition, the strategy would be guided by four operating principles: competition, privacy protection/network security, collaborative private/public sector development, and an interconnected and interoperable network of networks. This report reviews the council's deliberations and conclusions on those issues, in chapters covering the nature of the information highway, competitiveness and job creation, Canadian content and culture, the human dimension, learning and training, research and development, and implementation. The report concludes with the council's recommendations. Appendices include a glossary.
Canada's Information Highway
The Advisory Council was established to advance the goal of making Canada a world leader in the provision and use of the Information Highway, creating economic, social and cultural advantage for all Canadians. This progress report describes the Council and its structure, and discusses public policy issues. The issues covered fall under the topics of building a competitive, advanced network infrastructure; content on the Information Highway; and benefits of the Information Highway. Advisory Council and Work Group members are listed at the end of the document.
Access, Affordability and Universal Service on the Canadian Information Highway
This paper was prepared at the Information Highway Advisory Council request to promote public awareness about the issues of access, affordability and universal service on the information highway and to encourage public comment. Topics examined are: how can an advanced information infrastructure improve the growth and competitiveness of Canadian businesses; how can we ensure universal, affordable access to essential services for all Canadians; how can we develop an appropriate balance between competition and regulation; and, how can we promote the development and distribution of Canadian culture and content.
