Mr. Speaker, the recent Accenture report recognized Canada as a global leader in e-government.
Over the past year consultations have been held across the country to discuss the future of e-government with stakeholders.
Given our progress to date, there is broad agreement that we have an opportunity to help establish competitive advantages in the knowledge economy and strengthen our democracy. Sure, there are challenges going forward; there is a need to develop new models of accountability; how to treat information as a public resource; and encouraging political leadership.
Could the President of the Treasury Board tell the House what the government intends to do to meet these challenges and ensure that Canada continues to be a world leader in e-government?
