Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank both of you for being here. Both of your briefs were extremely helpful, and they were different from things we've heard so far. They are very important to our work.
Mr. Mason, I wanted to ask you about the benefits section of your brief.
You've done something that we haven't spent a lot of time on. You talked about the future of open data and open government, whereas we've been talking about catch-up a lot of the time. In the final paragraph in that section you talked about some interesting things, such as reports writing themselves. You talked about automated inference. You talked about developing sensitive, creative, self-correcting feedback models.
Can you say a bit more about how you see that future, and what kinds of things you think might be possible? Do the futurist thing for us.
