Canada will have a National Digital Strategy this spring. But will we have to wait a year for it to be funded?<\/p>\n

In his appearance before the Parliamentary Industry Committee on Tuesday [see video on CPAC.ca<\/a>], Industry Minister Tony Clement said that the comprehensive national digital strategy should be released in the Spring, about a year after the consultation was launched<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Finance Minister Flaherty announced<\/a> that the federal budget will be announced in 3 weeks, on March 22. A quick scan of the Treasury Board’s\u00a0Government Expenditure Plan [pdf<\/a>, 2.1 MB] doesn’t reveal any hints that there will be new investments to fund any new programmes.<\/p>\n
