That's fine. I know that Mr. McCallum asked the same question in English. But it was the same question that I had asked in French about the G8 summit. He wanted it on the record in English, so I am just doing the same thing.
Let me refer back to Joe Jordan, who was here in a previous session. He had some interesting proposals for us. Just now, there was a sudden interest in your purchase of some software, the cost of which seems to me to be very reasonable, and, I assume, completely justified given your work.
Would it be possible to imagine an Internet resource that would let people, meaning parliamentarians, Canadians and civil society groups, to conduct research into government estimates and into budget expenses, and where data could be cross-referenced and compared between financial years? Can we get a system that is really transparent and accessible to Canadians as a whole? Do you think it would be worthwhile to invest in a system like that, and is it possible that it would provide results? We hear a lot of talk about open government. Would that not be a way to make data available? It is feasible? Is it desirable?
