Thank you, gentlemen, for taking part in this exercise. Your input is greatly appreciated.
I would like to hear your views on information management by the federal government.
Mr. Weiler, as a librarian and subject matter expert, have you had the opportunity to explore how the machinery of government works in the departments as regards tools and processes? If so, have you identified any issues? Could you offer any proposals, lessons learned, best practices, methods, or tools that could be implemented to improve access to information? This is also important because there is so much information in different formats and on different platforms, spread throughout the machinery of government, right across Canada. I would like your input.
I would also like to hear Mr. Rubin's comments, if he has any.
