Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, all of you, for coming.
Ms. Charette, I'm a little more optimistic than some of my colleagues. When you consider how new everything is relative to how old the country is, I think we've been doing a tremendous job in getting a lot of data out there, and what I've heard today has been very encouraging.
We know from the testimony from provincial and municipal governments that their types of data are obviously miles apart. We heard from the municipal governments that the most popular data relate to bus scheduling and garbage collection. That's very important to a lot of people, but that's a heck of a lot different from some of the data that are being accumulated by the federal government. Also, I'm suspecting that some of the data that we do collect or that might be available would also have impacts on provincial and municipal governments.
By virtue of that, you must have to work closely with them or develop a policy that respects their jurisdictions so that we're not ultimately releasing data that could impact negatively on a provincial government. Am I correct in assuming that because of those interjurisdictional elements, it's a much more difficult process to release data at the federal government level?
I have a final comment and then I'll ask another question. I'd rather we get it right than rush it and get it wrong.
First, are we working with the provincial and municipal governments in releasing data?
Then the comment is that I want to offer congratulations on what we've done so far.
