1. Executive Summary
From the passing of access to information legislation over 30 years ago to current open government and proactive disclosure activities, the Government of Canada has worked to ensure transparency on federal operations to enable Canadians to hold their government accountable. The commitments included in Canada’s Action Plan on Open Government 2014- will further the progress on the delivery of transparent and accountable programs and services focused on the needs of Canadians.
The proactive release of data and information is the starting point for all other open government activity. Accordingly, the Government of Canada has firmly established an “open by default” position in its mandatory policy framework by issuing the Directive on Open Government.
Western Economic Diversification Canada is committed to the founding principles of open government, to ensure transparency and accountability within the department. Technological advances favour the emergence of innovative ways for the department to serve Canadians and interact with them, including transforming government information to make it more open, accessible, efficient and responsive to the needs of the public.
WD is committed to becoming “open by default” and to change its organizational culture to become “open by design” by 2020. This means that in WD is seeking ways to improve its information management practices and the integration of open government into its many processes.
WD’s Directive on Open Government Implementation Plan (OGIP) maps current initiatives and levels of compliance against the seven areas of compliances noted in the Directive on Open Government, as well as the three components of data, information and dialogue. This plan demonstrates how and when WD intends to reach the required level of compliance, and how it will make more natural the release of information it produces, while being efficient, unless required to protect information for security, confidentiality or privacy reasons. The department’s funding is directed to third parties and, therefore, certain information holdings include confidential records of projects which are subject to protection pursuant to the Access to Information Act.
WD is establishing and implementing this plan in collaboration with other Regional Development Agencies (RDAs), central agencies and other government departments. FedDev Ontario has organized an informal RDA Open Government group to share best practices, information, concerns and knowledge and, where possible, collaborate and leverage resources. Revisions and updates to WD’s Open Government Implementation Plan will be published to the Open Information Portal every October from 2015 until plan completion in 2019.
The challenges for a small federal department such as WD are great, with one full-time dedicated information management specialist. Nevertheless, WD can count on strong leadership to successfully implement its bold vision with regard to open government in order to arouse the collective ingenuity and reduce the distances between communities in Western Canada, across Canada and internationally.

The objective of the Directive is to maximize the release of government information and data of business value to support transparency, accountability, citizen engagement, and socio-economic benefits through reuse, subject to applicable restrictions associated with privacy, confidentiality, and security (Directive on Open Government, Section 5.1).
The expected results of the Directive on Open Government (Section 5.2) are that Canadians are able to find and use Government of Canada information and data:
- to support accountability;
- to facilitate value-added analysis;
- to drive socio-economic benefits through reuse; and,
- to support meaningful engagement with their government.
This document may also describe, if applicable, the institution’s plan to complete activities and deliverables aligned to one or more of the 12 commitments described in Canada’s Action Plan on Open Government 2014-.
4. Context
Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) was established to promote the development and diversification of the economy of Western Canada and to advance the interests of the West in national economic policy, program and project development and implementation.
The Department operates under the provisions of the Western Economic Diversification Act, which came into force on . WD is responsible for regional development in Western Canada by developing and supporting economic policies, programs and activities to promote economic growth.
WD’s mandate allows the Department to implement diverse programs and initiatives across the West to create strong, competitive and innovative businesses and communities. Its western base has enabled the department to foster extensive partnerships across Western Canada with business and community organizations, research and academic institutions, Aboriginal groups, as well as provincial and municipal governments.
These connections enable WD to identify and support economic opportunities in the West and ensure that western interests and perspectives are reflected in national decision making. The Department will continue to capitalize on opportunities and implement strategies to mitigate risks and adapt to changes in a dynamic and complex environment.
WD focuses its activities in three program areas:
Business Development and Innovation: WD helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) develop and grow, create jobs, expand their markets, increase their exports and become more innovative and productive. The department assists SMEs with international business engagement and works to attract investment to the region, as well as assist western Canadian SMEs to access opportunities linked to government procurement. Further, WD promotes the development and growth of the knowledge-based economy by building innovation capacity and supporting the commercialization of new knowledge-based products, processes and services.
Community Economic Growth: WD helps communities in Western Canada sustain their local economies and adjust to changing economic circumstances through departmental programs and by delivering national initiatives on behalf of the Government of Canada. WD also supports community-based organizations that provide western entrepreneurs with information, training and loans they need to start and grow their businesses.
Policy, Advocacy and Coordination: WD identifies opportunities to strengthen the western Canadian economy and coordinate economic development activities, policies and programs across the West. WD works to build strategic relationships with key decision makers across Canada and works with western Canadian industry on defence-related procurement opportunities.
WD’s head office is located in Edmonton, Alberta, making the department the only federal department headquartered in Western Canada. Regional offices are located in each of the four western provinces - Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton and Vancouver, and an office in Ottawa. A regional satellite office also exists in Calgary.
As of , WD has 293 full-time employees.
- B.C. Region – 56
- Alberta Region (Edmonton and Calgary) - 45
- Saskatchewan Region – 31
- Manitoba Region – 35
- Policy and Strategic Direction (Edmonton and Ottawa) – 55
- Finance and Corporate Management/Headquarters - 71
The department’s technological environment includes: applications, telecommunications infrastructure, and servers, intranet and internet site. More than 40 systems, the main support business processes and provide data management and information, are listed in the inventory of information repositories and the list of applications in WD. In addition, WD is participating actively in the deployment of government-wide transformational initiatives (eg. MyGCHR, GCDOCs, e-mail services).
The management of telecommunications infrastructure and technology (servers) is provided by Shared Services Canada, with the backing and support in WD. The department also develops applications and websites in compliance with web standards for the Government of Canada and whose principles optimization, interoperability, usability and accessibility. Finally, WD is also working toward migrating its website to the Canada.ca website.
4.1 Risks and Mitigation Strategy
The significant challenge of a small department such as Western Economic Diversification Canada in implementing open government, as well as several other government-wide initiatives, is the issue of both human and financial resources.
Thus, the main issues identified by WD to contribute to the implementation of Canada’s obligations related to Canada’s Action Plan on Open Government and 2014-2016 to ensure compliance with the Directive requirements on open government by 2020 are:
-
A cultural change is needed to become “open by design”:
Creating an enabling environment for sharing data and information with the public, as well as creating a dialogue with citizens so that it is natural in practice, and developing and delivering WD program activities that integrate principles and obligations under the open government;
-
The design of the future contained in the spirit of open government:
Efficiently revise or develop processes/sub-processes, the structure of information resources, systems and other tools to become “open by design”, and ensure the quality, validity, usefulness, clarity, and the lifting of restrictions on the data and information to be published and integrating the related issues (eg . official languages, access to information, security information, etc. ) in compliance with applicable laws;
-
The management of the historical content and not conceived in the spirit of open government:
Identify, develop and translate the data and existing information listed in systems and whose operational value of interest to the public to make it available in accordance with the requirements and obligations under the open government; and
-
The evaluation and allocation of human and financial resources:
Properly assess the investments required to achieve the goals of this initiative and the accompanying change management, mainly culture within the department (eg . training, consulting, etc.) and the allocation of budget accordingly in order to implement the principles and open government requirements within the deadlines.
WD considered the Open Government initiative as part of its annual exercise of integrated planning and set up appropriate governance to monitor the initiative and take corrective action in a timely manner, if necessary. The department will mitigate its risks by:
- strong leadership and proper governance to provide the required guidance and support for the implementation of the principles and obligations of open government;
- a training program and ongoing support to develop of processes and tools so that staff have the knowledge and skills to be “open by design”;
- the allocation of human resources to implement and monitor the requirement of the OGIP; and,
- the allocation of a reasonable budget to gradually implement open government.
Moreover, WD ensures through its processes and governance to implement open government in compliance with the requirements of the Access to Information Act, the Privacy Act, and the Financial Administration Act.
WD has also identified the importance of working with the Treasury Board Secretariat concerning the open government initiative opened with centralization of the departmental website and their current efforts in the revision of several policies and guidelines.5. Outcomes
Under the Directive on Open Government, WD is committed to contribute to the Government of Canada’s efforts to promote better access to its data and information, and thus offer opportunities for citizens to learn more about its programs and activities, and to participate, encourage innovation and create business opportunities arising from the reuse of the information.
By its mission, WD will provide the public with data and useful information on a variety of topics related to the economic development of different regions of Western Canada (eg. creation and business start-ups, productivity and expansion, innovation and technology transfer, marketing and export development strategy for the regions, community economic facilities, championing the strengths of the regions and supports punctual and targeted).
Moreover, WD is proud to announce its intention to fully play its role, as a small federal department, in order to maximize its contribution to the common objective of establishing an open government. The approach is not only to be “open by default”, but also to demonstrate ambition and vision by positioning 2020 as “open by design”. To do this, WD intends to increase efforts in its second year of implementation to educate employees and managers of the changes caused by the initiative and support them gradually to adapt their tools and methods.
The figure below shows the 12 commitments from Canada’s Action Plan on Open Government in 2014 and 2016 are mainly based on three components: open data, open information and open dialogue.

The data and information will be published in qualifying standard open formats and can be reused without restriction and free of charge.
- Open Data in Canada: The Government of Canada will work with provinces, territories and municipalities to remove obstacles to open data services integrated Canada-wide through the establishment of principles, norms and common to all license levels of government.
- Open Science: The Government of Canada will maximize access to scientific research funded by the federal government in order to foster increased collaboration and dialogue with the scientific community, the private sector and the public.
- Open Procurement Process: The Government of Canada will coordinate one-stop access to a wide range of information on the procurement markets open in all federal departments.
- Open Information on Budgets and Expenses: The Government of Canada will publish information and data on the broader federal spending to help Canadians understand the use of public funds and to hold government accountable in this regard.
- Commitment to fundamental open information: The Government of Canada will expand the proactive disclosure of information on activities, programs, policies and government services, which will make the information easier to find, access and use.
- Consulting with Canadians: The Government of Canada will provide guidance and tools, and next generation of resources to enable departments and agencies to consult more widely with citizens and civil society to support the development and implementation government policies and programs.
