So, on March 16, 1994, the Canadian government announced the creation of the Canadian content and Culture Working Group whose mandate was to examine Canadian content and the information highway, the regulatory framework for Canadian content, the place for Canadian content on the highway, making Canadian content products competitive on a world stage, and funding the production of quality Canadian content.

Download or read book The V chip Debate written by Monroe E. Price and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The V-chip is a highly significant part of the discussion about whether television (or broadcasting in general) deserves some special attention in terms of its accessibility to children, its particular power to affect conduct, and its invasiveness. But as this notion of filtering and labeling has caught the imagination of the regulator, the legislator, and all those who wish to consider new ways to alter bargaining over imagery in society, the very idea of the V-chip or its equivalent is moving across other technologies, including the Internet. The V-chip issue has also fueled the ongoing debate about violence and sexual practices in society, and how representations on television relate to those practices. Although the initial concept of the V-chip is simple, its flow into the public realm raises so many extraordinary questions that the introduction and production of the chip virtually serves as a case study in problems of law and public policy. The very conceptualization of speech in society is being affected by this issue. Accordingly, the place of the V-chip in this debate is increasingly important; indeed, it may be argued that the V-chip's contribution to legal argumentation may be greater than its ultimate contribution to the relationship between children and imagery. Among the questions the contributors address are: *What research basis is necessary to require a framework for labeling and rating? *What relationship between government and the image-producing industries can be characterized--for constitutional and other reasons--as voluntary as opposed to coercive? *Who should evaluate these images? *To what extent should the evaluation process be centralized and/or distributed? *What assessment is appropriate to evaluate whether the experiment is "successful?" In addition to the V-chip's origin's in Canada and its further evolution in the United States, this book discusses the development of the V-chip and television rating systems in Europe, Australia, and throughout the world. It also includes essays which contrast the very different approaches in Canada and the United States in terms of the role of regulatory agency, industry, and government.

Download or read book Connection Community Content written by Canada. Information Highway Advisory Council and published by Canadian Government Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: "Federalism explains how Canada came to be a federation, what the current challenges to the federal system are, and how we could fortify it." "Jennifer Smith argues that a reformed federalism could be part of the solution to the state of Canadian democracy. She examines the origins of Canadian federalism and its special characteristics, then analyzes these features against the democratic benchmarks of responsiveness, inclusiveness, and participation. Finding that Canadian federalism falls short in each area, Smith recommends changes ranging from virtual regionalism to a Council of the Federation that includes Aboriginal representatives." "This revealing account of Canadian federalism is crucial reading for students and scholars of Canadian politics, politicians and policy makers, and those who care about the health of Canadian democracy." --Résumé de l'éditeur.
