Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question. The real credit for Technology in Government Week goes to the many public servants who are on the leading edge of bringing information technology to better use for the benefit of the taxpayers of this country.
Just a few months ago I released a report called The Blueprint for Using Information Technology in Renewing Government Services with a vision of making government services more affordable, more accessible and more responsive to the needs of the public.
There are a number of flagship projects in this regard that we are going to carry out. Indeed, it is not only going to reduce the cost of government but it is going to improve the services that are provided to the taxpayers of this country.
