Yes, it does.
Just to expand a bit, this is not one data that I'm holding here. I understand that we like to talk about data because it helps us get a handle on what we're talking about, but we need to realize how far down the road some of these companies are with the technologies that they're developing. When you start to hear corporations saying that they're going to open all the data too, so don't worry, you start to think that maybe it's not just the data. Maybe it's the usage. Maybe it's the data mixed with other things.
This is why we really need to start thinking about this. This data is a primary input to our knowledge about ourselves and how that plays out in policy. We cannot lose access to it. I know this gets dystopian, but if you stop understanding whether what someone is telling you is a pattern or is a fact, that is very dangerous, and that is what this blending idea is potentially leading to. We need to keep control of data, products, IP and everything that we're going to be using.
I'll end on why this is a smart city topic. This is the governance of a neighbourhood. This is part of a city. We're not doing corporate governance in Canada by accident or because we wanted to do something innovative.
