Finding Our Digital Voice:
Governing in the Information Age
The Crossing Boundaries National Conference
Ottawa Congress Centre
Ottawa, Ontario
May 7-9, 2003
If the Information Age raises fundamental challenges for government,
it also provides an historic opportunity to transform and improve it.
For the past two years, the Crossing Boundaries III initiative has
brought together elected representatives, public servants, academics,
and members of the private and third sectors to share their expertise
and experience and to discuss what this means for Canadians. The
process has produced the most comprehensive overview and analysis of
the road ahead yet completed in Canada, and quite possibly the world.
The Crossing Boundaries National Conference ‘Finding Our Digital
Voice: Governing in the Information Age’ will be an opportunity to
consider the road ahead—its consequences for the organization of
government, the provision of information and the democratic process.
With nationally and internationally recognized speakers such as Paul
Martin, MP for Lasalle-Émard; Stephen Coleman, Professor of E-
Democracy, Oxford University; Sharon Dawes, Director of the Center
for Technology and Government, University of New York at Albany, and
Ian Wilson, National Archivist of Canada, this conference represents
an opportunity to take the next step in defining solutions for the
challenges that lie ahead.
CO-CHAIRS
Tony Valeri, MP for Stoney Creek
Sandra Lang, Deputy Minister of Consumer and Business Services
Ontario.
CONFERENCE PLAN
The conference will be an interactive learning event—an opportunity
to meet and discuss the issues with colleagues from across the
Canadian public policy community. The agenda is divided into three
major themes:
· Information as a Public Resource
· E-Democracy: Extending Public Space
· Building the Tools of Democratic Renewal
Each one will be the topic of a plenary session, addressed by a panel
of distinguished speakers. Plenaries will be followed by smaller
breakaway sessions, ranging in topic from high-level policy issues to
practical “how-to” sessions and case studies. Rapporteurs will attend
each session to record its highlights. The results will be
synthesized and incorporated into a list of questions and issues
around implementing the recommendations. The third plenary will unite
all participants in a discussion of the findings through an
interactive online dialogue. Finally, questions and issues arising
from these findings will be put to the members of the Political
Advisory Committee.
The conference will close with a presentation of the Crossing
Boundaries III final report by the Political Advisory Committee (PAC)
to a group of senior elected and appointed government officials. The
PAC includes eight elected officials from three levels of government,
four political parties and six separate jurisdictions across Canada,
along with the project Chair.
