Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being with us today.
I must admit that, ever since we began our study on smart cities, I've had trouble wrapping my head around the concept. It's as though I'm in front of a smorgasbord of technologies, each more fascinating than the last. What would really make cities smart is the ability to prioritize and coordinate these various techniques to achieve a well-defined objective, which I don't seem to be hearing from many of you.
I am hearing a lot about Internet use; Mr. Grondin talked about the fact that 80% of people in the City of Québec have Internet access, for example. That is pretty standard for North America. When you have 80% of people with Internet access, that does not translate into a smart application use rate of 80%, however.
Do you have any usage data for the measures you have put in place?
