It was an interesting event. It was the first one we'd ever done.
As the minister said, the response was overwhelming and unexpected to us. The feeling of entrepreneurial pursuit was rampant right across the event. There were a lot of teams there, thinking about how to build the next application, how to get a new tool available on iPhones, at 99ยข a shot. There were a lot of other teams that were there, like one of the eventual winners, who I think now is thinking about it economically. They didn't set out to develop an app that was going to provide them with a return on investment; they were looking at a tool which might provide assistance and support to other Canadians.
Some of this, I think, is driven by a sense of innovation, which does not necessarily have to be attached to profit. I think we saw the full gamut at CODE. Across the 110 teams, there were people who were specifically looking for the next silver bullet in terms of apps, right to organizations that had no interest beyond social benefits.
