Industry committee  Thank you for the question. I completely disagree. Let me give you a simple example from my own life. I have three computers at home. I have an Apple computer, a PC and a machine that runs Linux. None of these computers talk to each other. They don't talk to each other

Government Operations committee   are looking to advance at this time. That is targeted at things like outdated Windows and Linux servers and upgrades to the mainframes. It is quite a comprehensive IT refresh program. That is based on the urgent needs of end-of-life technology that exists. That is really the major

Information & Ethics committee  I want to make a comment on a separate topic, on something that Google did say, because it's not all bad. I want to congratulate Google, because today you announced that all Chromebooks will be Linux-compatible out of the box starting soon. So not everything is negative. I'm

Rural Digital Infrastructure   arrived. I moved to Ontario to study computer science at the University of Guelph. I had learned Linux in high school and was involved in the freeware community. I found Rogers cable high-speed Internet readily available. Bell DSL followed a few years later, and at that time I switched
