The new economic order, or the information era, will do for human capital what the Industrial Revolution did for physical capital. Human capital and knowledge-based industries are emerging as the key to wealth creation. Ensuring all Canadians an opportunity to devlop skills is emerging as the principal way to ameliorate income polarization. And developing skills and human capital is the touchstone for increasing living standards in an information era. Hence, to succeed in the new economic order, Canada needs to democratize the opportunity for all Canadians to develop, enhance, and employ in Canada their human capital. In other words, Canada's role in the twenty-first century is to become a "state of minds."
