Mr. Chair, the question you asked goes to the core of the open data initiative. Here is what we need to decide: will we be the institution that gathers all the data or the institution that makes this data available?
I would like to come back to a question asked earlier about the private sector's participation. In the case of significant demand, we expect the ecosystem outside our walls to understand that demand and pool the public and private information in order to build a consistent and cohesive product that meets the demand. The question is whether this will be done by the government, the industry or external stakeholders who will seize the opportunity and create the product for the benefit of Canadians and companies.
