Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to thank the witnesses for taking part in this morning's meeting.
Mr. Deslauriers
and also Mr. Hollett,
You spoke about the importance of data in specific communities. People want to have data and information about what is happening in their neighbourhood. That's very important. I know that it was said that a great deal of data in the Government of Canada's portal were geospatial data. I think that's very important.
As you mentioned, Mr. Deslauriers, people want to have information on the crime rate in their area; they are not interested in macrodata.
Are there any problems with the way geospatial data are provided in the Government of Canada's portal and in all of the other portals? Is there anything we can do to help people get information on what is happening in their own neighbourhood, be it about the crime rate, the environment, transportation or the challenges of daily life?
I would like Mr. Deslauriers to answer first and then Mr. Hollett.
