Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the witnesses for coming before us today.

My first question is for Mr. Cousens or Mr. Kratz, whoever wants to answer this.

You talked about the U.K.'s g-cloud model. I've received some e-mails about that, including from John Reid of the Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance, urging Canada to follow the U.K.'s lead on that.

What would be included in a cloud-first policy, as you would see it? Why are we lagging in this area, and what are the consequences?
