The government of Canada could use GitHub or alternate open platform to encourage awareness, discussions and collaboration on policy, regulations and legislation.

These platforms allow for open identification of stakeholder issues, suggested edits and, through version control, full transparency into changes made to documentation.

His process has been used by the US 18F and other governments I developing policy and legislation. It is also free and could be rapidly implemented.
