Mr. David Hume at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

I just want to say how delighted I am to have been part of the conversation today, and thank you very much for your attention.

I'd say that this is something that should be taken seriously, because the question of open government and the sharing of data and making government collaborative has a real imperative around how we will do government in Canada in the future. Our finances and our demographics tell us that we need to do things very differently, radically differently. And this is one piece of the puzzle that I hope we can embrace.
