In my opinion, the issue of open government and government transparency is not partisan. I am not here to make partisan statements either. I am here because I sincerely believe that the governance of Canada must adapt to new technologies and to the new way of interacting with citizens who are trying, using new technologies, to obtain information in a way that is much more specific and immediate than in the past. Indeed, I think that we must head in this direction.
