Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today; we appreciate your presence very much. The presentations were very stimulating.
At the beginning of the federal government's initiative with regard to open government, they were talking about open government writ large. What's interesting about this study right now is that it's a great representation of how they've narrowcasted what an open government is now.
This study we're doing is not about open government. It's about open data, and it's particularly about a portal. In a way it's about congratulating themselves that they went ahead with something concrete. There's nothing wrong with that, but the results are rather small. There are all sorts of reasons for that, which we could get into, but the reasons don't really interest me right now.
I have a very specific question for Mr. Giggey and Mr. Low. The largest municipalities in Canada are represented here, so just a really quick question to the two municipalities. How useful is the data that is now on the open portal of the federal government?
