"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4251246\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Thank you, Chair. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4251247\" data-originallang=\"en\">As a former technology journalist specializing in free and open-source software, I intend to get a bit into the weeds of Shared Services, so if there are any technical staff accompanying you I'd encourage them to move up to the table and identify themselves.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4251248\" data-originallang=\"en\">First of all, of the 23,000 servers across 485 data centres the minister referred to, how many of them run on open-source software? Are we exploring a significant migration away from proprietary software models toward open-source software options as you transition toward seven data centres? For example, on the Hill, I cannot use anything but Internet Explorer because we are told that it is the only browser that meets our security standards, which anyone who has been in the industry more than a few hours knows is kind of funny. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4251249\" data-originallang=\"en\">On the server side, the various flavours of Linux make very nice replacements for the various flavours of UNIX and Windows. I want to ensure that we're considering open-source software in a serious way, as we move forward.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4251246\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4251247\" data-originallang=\"en\">En tant qu'ancien journaliste sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9 en technologie, plus pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment en logiciels libres avec code source ouvert, j'ai l'intention de m'aventurer un peu dans les m\u00e9andres de Services partag\u00e9s. Par cons\u00e9quent, si des techniciens vous accompagnent, je les encourage \u00e0 se manifester et \u00e0 prendre place \u00e0 la table.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4251248\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tout d'abord, parmi les 23 000 serveurs r\u00e9partis dans 485 centres de donn\u00e9es auxquels la ministre a fait allusion, combien y en a-t-il qui fonctionnent au moyen d'un logiciel libre? Dans le cadre de votre transition vers sept centres de donn\u00e9es, observe-t-on une migration des logiciels priv\u00e9s vers des logiciels libres? \u00c0 titre d'exemple, sur la Colline, je peux seulement utiliser Internet Explorer \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 que c'est le seul navigateur conforme \u00e0 nos normes de s\u00e9curit\u00e9, ce qui est plut\u00f4t dr\u00f4le pour quiconque \u00e0 travailler dans l'industrie plus que quelques heures.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4251249\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour ce qui est des serveurs, les diverses possibilit\u00e9s offertes par Linux sont int\u00e9ressantes pour remplacer le syst\u00e8me UNIX et Windows. \u00c0 l'avenir, je veux \u00eatre certain que l'on envisage s\u00e9rieusement les logiciels libres.</p>"
