Francis Bilodeau, Assistant Secretary, Office of the Chief Information Officer, Digital Policy and Services, at Compute Ontario and ORION’s Smart Cities Governance Lab on March 28, 2019, in Kitchener Ontario, offered a first-hand look into how Canada’s government is transforming through technology adoption and developing digital services. Francis explained that data and technology are evolving rapidly, and while the benefits of digital transformation are evident, it is harder for the government to keep pace with these advances than industry. Private companies have to adapt to new technologies or they will cease to exist, but that is not the case for government. Francis identified two critical actions to help support the digital transformation of government. Building policies and frameworks which enable new technology adoption, and to learn by doing, rather than developing long-term plans that will be outdated by the time they are executed. He provided examples of programs such as the Canadian Digital Service that are currently in place to help digitize Canada, however he believes more needs to be done. Canada has to learn by doing and continue to implement policies that will enable the adoption of technology for public good.

Public debate at the inaugural National Conservatism Conference, 7/15/19.

Resolution: “America Should Adopt An Industrial Policy”

Pro: Oren Cass
Con: Richard Reinsch
Chairman: Yoram Hazony

Oren Cass, author of “The Once and Future Worker,” and Richard Reinsch, editor of Law and Liberty, debate the pros and cons of America adopting an industrial policy to reinvigorate manufacturing, provide meaningful and productive work for American workers, and reverse the trade deficit. The two debaters persuasively and good-naturedly present rival visions of conservatism and the relative roles of market and state.
