Government Operations committee  Yes, and that would cover the technical platform, the development—

Government Operations committee  Yes, that was the 2013-14 amount. The plan for 2014-15 is about the same. It would have been less the two previous years before that, and before that, zero.

Government Operations committee  Oh, $100 million. I could talk to the last couple of years quite easily. The total for both last fiscal year and this fiscal year in its entirety would be somewhere close to $1.6 million.

Government Operations committee  I am, yes.

Government Operations committee  Yes, there are two main indexes that are currently being used. One is called the open data index and the other one is called the open data barometer. I think another witness might have mentioned the other one as well along the way. Both of these tools assess a certain number of jurisdictions against specific types of data.

Government Operations committee  The open government steering committee is the cross-departmental ADM level committee. It has representation from 35 departments that meet regularly to help plan the open government activity moving forward. The open government advisory panel is a committee that exists as an advisory group specifically to the minister only, made up of outside, non-government employees.

Government Operations committee  We'll be doing that with the other jurisdictions collectively.

Government Operations committee  The answer is yes. I think most of the major portals internationally are considering it. None of them has done it yet. I think we're along with them. We're working dedicatedly with both the U.S. and the U.K. now. All of us are trying to figure out how to meet security conditions and privacy conditions, when what you're really doing is you're publishing a federal data set, in our case.

Government Operations committee  There is a variety. As Corinne mentioned already, we've established 50 open data coordinators across the federal government. There is an open data coordinator in over 50 of the departments that we're working with currently.

Government Operations committee  That might be beyond my scope. There is an ADM committee for the federal government that looks at all open data and open government issues. There are periodic open data workshops that bring together people from both the business side and the technical side. The consultation and communication with departments are continuous.

Government Operations committee  We could certainly provide a summary of feedback that we've received.

Government Operations committee  Absolutely. It's already made available from data.gc.ca. I'm not sure how many of the members have had a chance to actually visit it, but it's remarkably easy to use. You just show up on the front page and punch in a subject and it searches all the data sets. If—

Government Operations committee  Yes.

Government Operations committee  It's alphabetized. It's by department, by subject, by licence, by format.

Government Operations committee  I heard that one. I think what they really were talking about was that we need to look at RDF going forward, just as they do, and everybody else does. None of the jurisdictions is currently making their data available in RDF. It is a developing standard that all jurisdictions are going to be encouraged to look at as we go forward.
