ESAC Weighs in on Canadian Digital Economy Bill

By pete_gallagher

In response to an announcement from the Canadian government that it will develop a Digital Economy Strategy, The Entertainment Software Association of Canada (ESAC) has issued a list of recommendations which would 'position Canada as a more competitive jurisdiction in which to invest.'

ESAC's suggestions are:

1. Include content industries at the heart of its digital strategy;
2. Recognize video game production as central to Canada's digital economy;
3. Adopt a plan to develop and retain cutting edge talent;
4. Improve digital literacy through education and awareness;
5. Attract and retain foreign workers and eliminate barriers to labour mobility;
6. Generate new sources of capital and investment in commercialization;
7. Protect intellectual property through reform of the copyright system;
8. Create more affordable, accessible and faster digital infrastructure;
9. Foster free and open international trade; and
10. Carefully consider the impact of new regulations on the digital economy and examine the role of related government institutions.
