Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thanks very much to Mr. Moore and Mr. Mulley for being here with us this afternoon.
As you can see from the questions you are getting, this is something we are all pretty excited about, but I don't think too many of us have much expertise in this. We're grasping on how we approach this and what the parameters of the study would be.
Mr. Moore, you said something that caught my attention: that people couldn't talk about open government but they could talk about open data. So far we have been calling our study “open government”.
I am wondering if both of you could tell me what open government means to each you, why it's important to you, and why it should be important to Canadians.
Mr. Moore, do you want to start?
