Thank you very much for inviting me to participate. Obviously the area I specialize in is technology so if I can be of assistance to committee members around technology issues, I'd be very happy to do that.
In closing I think it's a tremendous opportunity. We have a long way to go in the world with open data, the way it's being published, the way it's being consumed, and how transformational it can be. I think Canada has a wonderful opportunity to be even more of a leader in this area, and so I'm looking forward to what happens next.
