The offprint contains a summary of the discussions prepared by Bruce A. MacDonald, Chairman of the Informatics Task Force in Ottawa and four papers: Terry Russell (Deputy IPAC
Minister of Revenue Ontario) expresses the concerns of the deputy minister of a large provincial department which makes extensive use of computers; Louis Martin (Professor of Informatics, UQAM) offers a critique of the excessive volume, enormous costs and general inadequacy of information now produced to help managers make decisions; André Fournier (Deputy Minister of Communications, Québec) outlines the steps taken in his province to make information from its data bases available to legislators, officials and the public; and Bruce A. MacDonald/C. Guruprasad (Informatics Task Force) argue for sweeping change in the organization and procedures of the federal government to ensure optimum exploitation of the technology.
