	author = {McGreal, Rory},
	abstract = {The main points reviewed in this document are summarized below for ready reference:
• The digital economy is based on the creation, transmission and dissemination of knowledge. 
• E-learning is an essential component of a modern learning and research infrastructure. 
• Government should not pick winners; fair dealing is as important as the IP economy. 
• Every Canadian needs to be proficient in digital economy skills; e-learning supports this. 
• Accessibility to quality content is an economic driver. Rural citizens should be able to access this content online. 
• Policy should not create silos but support all innovation, including non-traditional "outside the box” initiatives. 
• Portability of credentials and accreditation among provinces should be national, supporting economies of scale. 
• Supporting Open Educational Resources can be a cost-effective means of supporting learning and training. 
• A national “cloud” network to support e-learning would demonstrate Canadian leadership.},
