28. The report by the Canadian Radio–television and Telecommunications Commission entitled The Future Environment Facing the Canadian Broadcasting System and the May 2008 International Forum on the Creative Economy. In 2007, the government produced The Transformation of Value Chains in the Canadian Arts and Cultural Industries, which examined how Canadian music, radio, film and video, television, magazine, book, console game, online content, performing arts and visual arts industries have been transformed in the digital economy and identified key policy focus areas. In 2009, the Cultural Human Resources Council of Canada published its Digital Media Content Creation Technology Roadmap, which identifies the conditions necessary for Canadian content creators to meet future market demands. The Organisation for Economic Co–operation and Development has performed extensive research on the Information Economy, which provided valuable insight with a global perspective (online: Working Party on the Information Economy).
