Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. O'Connor's approach is very interesting, as is Mr. Eaves's answer. That raises other lines of questioning, such as in terms of usage guidelines for open data. This goes beyond data sharing.
Mr. Eaves, I understand that you are in favour of full data sharing. However, there are some obstacles that cannot be ignored. For instance, Ms. Miller said that intellectual property needs to be protected. When it comes to companies, it would be difficult for them to share data that shows their weaknesses relative to their competitors, and that's perfectly understandable.
If the federal government decided to go ahead with data sharing, what kind of safeguards should the government or a large company implement to protect intellectual property and respect privacy, among other things?
I would like each of you to make a quick comment.
