Canada’s Action Plan on Open Government 2014-16, Canada’s second open government plan to the Open Government Partnership (OGP) sought to advance a series of commitments to help modernize how Government operates to reflect the evolving values and expectations of Canadians.
Canada’s 2014-16 Plan was launched on . It was built around three streams of activity to structure our work:
- Open data – making raw data available in machine-ready formats to be used by Canadians;
- Open information – proactively releasing information on Government activities, and making it more accessible; and
- Open dialogue – providing the opportunity for two-way dialogue with the Government of Canada and its citizens on the development and delivery of policies and priorities.
The plan highlighted twelve commitments with deliverables and activities designed to increase transparency, civic participation, public accountability and access to new technologies for openness.
The Open Government team learned important lessons in delivering the 2014-2016 Plan—as you’ll find in each commitment linked from the summary table below—which will inform our work going forward. However, we would like to hear from Canadians on your assessment of our progress throughout the Action Plan 2014-2016 implementation period ( to ).
