I'm not super familiar with X-Road, the technology itself.
That said, if you were to approach it from the pure functionality that it offers, the idea of verifiable audit logs is, in itself, a function that I would suggest we'd want to have in any system we put out.
The second factor on that is the concept of having citizens be able to see when government officials access their data. That transparency is the core element we need to build into any system we build in the future.
If we can articulate those things quite clearly to Canadians, it will not be a very difficult thing to sell.
