April 24, 2014 – Ottawa – Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat
Today, the Honourable Tony Clement, President of the Treasury Board, launched a three-part consultation regarding Canada's Action Plan on Open Government. The objective of the first phase, taking place online at data.gc.ca, is to determine how Canadians want to be engaged and informed on Open Government, and how citizens prefer to provide feedback to advance the Government's second Action Plan on Open Government.
The Government of Canada released its first Action Plan on Open Government in 2012 as part of a commitment to promote openness and transparency. Consultation results will help in the selection of key Open Government activities that will make the Government more transparent and accessible to Canadians.
Feedback from citizens, the private sector, civil society and other levels of government is invaluable in the evolution of Open Government. The Government welcomes ongoing comments and suggestions as it continues developing Canada's Action Plan on Open Government.
