I'd like to stay on the subject of data and the criticisms that have been levelled.
WikiLeaks has been in the news a lot these days. I don't want to get into the politics of this issue, but one thing we're constantly hearing about in the news is these hundreds of pages of information. Of what use is this massive amount information to the average person, or even to an expert? The same can be said of Hansard. If you ever have the opportunity to visit the Speaker's Salon off the back corridor, you will find a library filled with copies of Hansard. The same information can be accessed on the website.
I have a question that I already know the answer to, but I'd still like to get your opinion. Could the availability of so much information cloud the real issue and make it even harder for members of the public to access information that is truly useful?
