I'd like to start by welcoming our two witnesses, Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Worthy. Thank you for joining us today.
My questions pertain to open data. I want to know what major obstacles the United Kingdom encountered when it decided to opt for a more open government. On the issue of open data, I want to know how things turned out, what type of information the government started to disclose more and how information is handled when national security or copyright considerations come into play.
I ask myself the same question when it comes to the Privacy Act.
