One of his recommendations is that access be granted to persons outside Canada, and that he would like to see some kind of web-based access. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1362161\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yesterday an Ottawa newspaper reported concerns that a web-based, globally accessible access to information system would result in bureaucratic chaos, that terrorist organizations could tie the public service up in knots, and it could also result in inappropriate information being released to groups like the Taliban or Hezbollah. Mr. Marleau didn't believe that to be the case, and I'd be interested if each of you could give me your opinion as to whether there's any basis for that concern.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1362158\" data-originallang=\"en\">D'accord.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1362159\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, messieurs, de prendre le temps de nous faire profiter de vos id\u00e9es et de votre expertise dans le domaine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1362160\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma premi\u00e8re question concerne les recommandations de M. Marleau. L'une de ses recommandations, c'est d'accorder acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des personnes de l'ext\u00e9rieur du Canada, et il aimerait qu'une sorte d'acc\u00e8s Web soit possible.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1362161\" data-originallang=\"en\">Hier, un journal d'Ottawa soulevait des pr\u00e9occupations au sujet du fait qu'un acc\u00e8s Web mondial au syst\u00e8me d'information pourrait engendrer un chaos bureaucratique, que des organisations terroristes pourraient cr\u00e9er une pagaille au sein de la fonction publique et que de l'information inappropri\u00e9e pourrait se retrouver en possession de groupes comme les talibans ou le Hezbollah. M. Marleau ne pense pas que c'est le cas, et j'aimerais que chacun d'entre vous me disiez s'il pense que cette crainte est fond\u00e9e.</p>"
