That's the one that really distinguishes us from the Australians, the Americans, and the British in terms of their initiatives. We have our own security policies in the government. We have our own copyright issues. We have our own data sets of information already, and our citizens may be interested in different sets of information. The main characteristics of the other jurisdictions are that they consulted the population and did thorough reviews before coming out with their strategies.
It is not a simple matter. It really needs to involve technology experts. You need to have security experts, because once you start having an open forum for discussion, it opens up security issues for institutions to consider. Official languages are obviously an issue for us in terms of what we publish.
So it's not a simple task to determine what's best for Canada in terms of open government, how we go about it, and the various considerations we have to keep in mind. Legal, security, privacy, confidentiality, official languages, and copyright issues are the ones that come to my mind. But we shouldn't look at those as being impediments to moving forward. I think we have to be mindful that they're there, but it does require considered study by leading experts. It really does.
