Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to each of you for being witnesses here today at our committee. Certainly it's been extremely interesting. And it's nice to talk to somebody who has been involved with the process and perhaps can help to steer us in the correct direction.
One of the things we've been wrestling with at this committee is how we get the public involved in determining what they would like to see and what kind of government data and information is important to them. I'd like to know how you engage the public, what kind of a process you used in getting public input. And I'd also like to know how departments and agencies determine what data and information should be released. Once you find out what the public is interested in, how do you determine what you can go ahead and release?
Mr. Ferriero, would you like to start, please?
