The consultation period on this draft is closed, but we want this to be an ongoing dialogue. Please contact us at any time.

The Government of Canada released its Third Biennial Plan to the Open Government Partnership in July 2016. The Plan was structured around four priority areas: open by default; fiscal transparency, innovation, prosperity and sustainable development; and engaging Canadians in the world. Each of the twenty-two commitments in the Plan reflects one of these priority areas to advance open government. The Plan is being implemented over a two year period between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2018.

At this mid-term point, we are reporting on what we accomplished so far, and would like to hear from you on our progress to date. The reporting period for this report is July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017.

In addition to this self-assessment report, and as part of our pledge to be more transparent and accountable about our progress on commitments, we have developed dashboards for each of the 22 commitments in order to report more frequently on their status. Although this mid-term self-assessment consultation is only open for a fixed period of time, you are encouraged to provide your comments and suggestions at any point through the life-cycle of this two-year Open Government Plan through the dashboards.

There are two ways you can participate in this consultation:

  1. Comment on the progress made on individual commitments by following the links in the summary table below.
  2. Comment by sending an email to open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca.

Please note the consultation will be open from until .
