Canadian Commission for UNESCO
The Canadian Commission for UNESCO has taken a lead role in representing civil society's interests and views at the World Summit on the Information Society. The Commission has undertaken a series of consultations with civil society in Canada. Results of the consultations have guided the Canadian government in developing its position for the Summit and have helped define the essential elements included in the Action Plan and Declaration of Principles adopted at the Summit.
