The Canadian government presented a long-promised comprehensive plan for digital communications and commerce on Friday, outlining efforts to protect online privacy, beef up cybersecurity and bring Internet service to every corner of the vast country. “Data is the 21st century’s new natural resource,” Industry Minister James Moore said in prepared remarks in the tech hub of Kitchener-Waterloo in Ontario. The plan also backs measures to make it easier for Canadians to access government services and statistics online. The plan also calls on Ottawa to help move huge amounts of archival documents, pictures and films about Canada online and to support the creation of more domestic digital content.
