Thank you very much. That's certainly interesting.
Mr. Beamish, I think you indicated that you have responsibilities, both municipal and provincial, through your office, and that you felt that open government was done best at the municipal level.
From my involvement at the municipal level, I can see that the type of data people want is day-to-day, and you are definitely far closer to the people at the municipal level and are dealing with issues that they deal with on a day-to-day basis, whereas once you get to the provincial level you are a little further removed, and at the federal level I think you are a bit more removed again.
First of all, my question would be whether you would agree that this might have something to do with how well it's accepted or perceived to be done.
My other question for you would be this. In your opinion, what kind of federal data do you think would be of high value to Canadians? What would they do with it? What are the possibilities? What kinds of avenues would this open up for us?
