Suggested Ideas
The Government of Canada will develop and launch a new citizen engagement and consultation platform.
Canadians have told us that they want quick and easy access to the government data they need from coast-to-coast-to-coast, regardless of which government owns the data.
The Government of Canada will expand the proactive release of information on government activities, programs, policies and services and will work to make government information easier to find and reuse.
Potential activities may include:
As announced in the 2014 Budget, the government will work with partners in the private sector, academia, and government to establish an Open Data Institute.
The Government of Canada will continue to unlock the potential of Open Data for Canadians through a series of innovative and forward-looking projects.
The Government of Canada will establish reporting standards on the payments made to governments in Canada and abroad by Canadian companies in the mining, oil, and gas sectors.
The Government of Canada will issue a mandatory policy to all departments and agencies that will require them to release more open data and information.
