Order, please. We are going to continue our study on the government's open data practices.
Joining us today are two experts representing two different provinces. In the room with us is David Hume, Executive Director, Citizen Engagement, Government Communications and Public Engagement, at the British Columbia government, and by videoconference, from New Brunswick, we have Diane Nadeau, Chief Information Strategist, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
According to our usual practices, each witness will have 10 minutes for their presentation. Members of the committee will then be able to ask questions as they see fit.
Mr. Hume, thank you for joining us today and for travelling from Vancouver to Ottawa. Without further delay, I give you the floor.
