 When I became Premier, I made a commitment to change and open up government to British Columbians. But what exactly is open government? To me, open government is about a different way of communicating. It's about using all the tools at our disposal to connect the public to government in new and meaningful ways. Making it easier for citizens to connect and share with us and with each other as well. The end result is that the people of this province can participate in improving the policies and services that impact their lives. I believe how we talk and how we listen to people are both important. And since becoming Premier, I've held five town halls in meetings in corners all across the province, hearing directly from people about their concerns, their frustrations and their aspirations. We've been using telephone town halls to connect with British Columbians as well, and they've all been very successful. And today we're taking three new significant steps that will help open government to British Columbians even more. The main government website has been redesigned to put services for citizens front and center. We wanted to make it easier to contact government to find the right forms to learn about government programs. We've been putting the information that people need right at their fingertips without having to search through a whole load of different websites and different ministries. We'll also be the first province in Canada to launch open data, and our new DataBC website is starting. We're opening up government's data and information to the public to allow them to create value from it, to have informed discussions with us on issues, and to spark discussion about potential solutions that they see to those issues. The initial data sets are just the beginning. We'll be constantly adding more sets as we go along. And finally, we've launched a new website where we'll post freedom of information requests and proactively publish ministers and deputy ministers monthly expenses. These actions are a start, and we'll build on them in the months ahead. I've issued a direction on behalf of Cabinet outlining how ministries will sustain each of these initiatives. And while these three actions involve online technology, open government isn't just about technology. It's about a lot more than that. It's a real change in how government works with citizens. Whether we're discussing climate change or the impacts of an aging population, we need people to work together to be a part of the solutions. Open government is about giving people access to the information that they need to participate and to help us find solutions to the issues that affect us all. After all, it's taxpayers' money and it's taxpayers' information. We'll be introducing even more open government initiatives in the coming months and we'll be adding to the existing ones that are already there. I recognize that this is a shift in how we do things and there might be some growing pains, but government will support you as we move ahead. The BC Public Service does first-rate work and I'm so proud of how you've embraced the changes that have already taken place, but I also want to challenge you to go further. Take risks. Be open to new ideas. Fuel a spirit of transparency of connection and collaboration in everything you do. It's time to open government to connect and communicate with the people that we all serve. Government belongs to the people and by working together we can engage British Columbians and get more of them involved in making our province an even better place. Thanks so much.
