Just to keep it brief, I would say I hope I have impressed on this committee the responsibility it has when thinking about this issue.
A lot of people are going to come before you and talk about the huge opportunity and the money. This stuff matters. I want you to be thinking holistically about this, not just about software, but about analysis, and about how we can be using this to change the way government works and increase the productivity and effectiveness of government.
And also about the responsibility around the politics of data, and that you can't escape that. You need to be thinking about that.
I am here at the disposal of this committee. You should feel free to call upon me any time, and if you want information or ideas, you would be more than welcome to write me an email in French or in English, and I will respond as quickly as I possibly can to get you the best possible information to inform your decisions.
