158 | Courriel | "Government accountability" | We need all government areas to be accountable to the public. Too many offices and not enough listening to people's concerns. Government seems to believe they get a free ride on tax payers money. Cut backs need to be made, less paying themselves first and more looking out for the people. Governments have lost all common sense, we are experiencing this first hand in dealing with a environment issue. We have been treated very poorly, when if common sense prevailed the situation could have been corrected. Government has lost all respect for the people and this country is beginning to show the affects. What ever happened to honesty and dedication, instead of this multiple greedy attitude. |

159 | Courriel | "Problematic governance" | It is important in the world of government programs to have accountable program managers who understand the outcomes they are trying to achieve and the performance measures necessary to effectively evaluate program performance. This is not the situation and too often the performance measures are ‘whatever makes the Minister look good’. Program evaluation needs to be a strong foundation for democratic societies. I would like to see a working group discuss developing this senior executive capacity and instantiating a more coherent governance model that brings out the best in politicians, senior bureaucrats, and builds a motivated, innovative work force. |

163 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Addressing disincentives to open information | Many of the issues with the ATI process that are mentioned in the media can be explained in whole or in part by the incentives that the current ATIP process and system creates for public servants. No matter how fervent a believer in open government, receiving an ATI request is a painful experience. The amount of labour involved in understanding and clarifying the request, searching records and reviewing the resulting records for release is impossible to overstate. The real effort costs are usually many times higher even than the official reporting forms, at least in my experience, because no one is willing to acknowledge the true time and effort requirements to sort through the equivalent of many thousands of pages of potential documents for each request. Given this process, it's no wonder that records are not kept or not thoroughly searched since this could easily result in no time remaining for any other work. For any future ATI system to succeed will need buy-in from those implementing the system and that will require the development of a dramatically less labour-intensive process. Are there ways to automate processes? Can employee involvement be limited to review? Given the dramatically declining cost of computer storage, would it be possible for all email records to be automatically copied without human intervention to a giant database. Any incoming ATI request would be treated by the ATI office as a keyword search similar to google. These requests would automatically search all electronic resources (email, GCdocs, public websites, shared network drives) and manual searches of paper records would only be done when explicitly requested, thus removing the need for the requester to understand government filing systems. This kind of automation would reduce search time and time interpreting requests to zero. It would eliminate the risk of some people doing more or less thorough searches than others. I don't think it would be possible to eliminate the review process, but it should be made possible for this system to identify the originator of a given record and automatically send them the documents to review and to mark up any areas that are suggested not to be released online and to automate as much as possible of the ATIP office review process and to automatically track service standards and deadlines. Maybe there are less technology-heavy and more administrative means to accomplish the same goals, but unless the labour impact of ATI requests on typical civil servants is addressed in some manner, any increase in ATI numbers will result in less and less timely results and the negative productivity impact of the time spent processing these requests will only increase. |

214 | 49 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Beneficial ownership transparency | Beneficial ownership transparency requires that the real people who own/control companies be disclosed. The Panama Papers are the most recent event to draw attention to the need for beneficial ownership transparency to combat tax avoidance, tax evasion, money laundering and corruption; however, it is not a new concern. The context Budget 2016 sets out measures to improve tax compliance and tax integrity and to reduce tax evasion and tax avoidance [1] [2]. However, it doesn’t set out measures relating to beneficial ownership transparency, even though Canada has made commitments to beneficial ownership transparency at the 2014 G20 Brisbane Summit [3] and the 2013 G8 Summit [4]. Specific measures endorsed by the G20 are described in the Guidance on Transparency and Beneficial Ownership [5] by the Financial Action Task Force, cited in the G20 Anti-Corruption Action Plan [6]. In terms of Canada’s progress on its G20 commitments, in its 2014 G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group Accountability Report Questionnaire [7], Canada reports that it doesn’t “require that the beneficial ownership and company formation of all legal persons organized for profit be reported.” A later evaluation [8] in 2015 by Transparency International (the international secretariat, not the Canadian chapter) found Canada’s progress to be lacking. In 2014, Canada held a consultation on the Canada Business Corporations Act [9], which included a question on beneficial ownership transparency. However, most comments addressed beneficial owners’ shareholder rights and communications means and did not engage with beneficial ownership transparency. Beneficial ownership transparency was among the most popular ideas from Canada’s consultation on its 2014-16 action plan [10] and in the comments on its draft 2014-16 action plan [11]. The proposal was supported by Publish What You Pay Canada, Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption, Partnership Africa Canada, MiningWatch Canada, InterPARES, Canadians for Tax Fairness. A proposal In drafting this commitment, Canada should explore which entities should be subject to beneficial ownership transparency and how and to whom this information should be disclosed. Implementing this commitment may require coordination with provincial securities regulations and the amendment of policies and regulations. Its implementation may benefit from a public consultation. Canada may need to review the category of Objecting Beneficial Owners (OBOs): shareholders who can hide their identity from issuers and other marketplace participants. OBOs are unique to the US and Canada. The relevant policy is the National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer. If there are privacy concerns with respect to the collection of personal information for beneficial ownership, Canada can request that an expert, like the Privacy Commissioner, describe the privacy concerns and explore mitigation strategies. Other resources OGP members with commitments for beneficial ownership transparency include the UK [12] and US [13]. Other countries have implemented beneficial ownership transparency outside the scope of the OGP, including Australia. For additional information, the policy paper, “A Beneficial Ownership Register for the World”, by OpenCorporates, may be relevant [14]. Many additional resources are available in Canada and internationally. In brief - Canada should fulfill the commitments it made as a member of the G20 and G7 on beneficial ownership transparency through its 2016-18 action plan.

215 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Beneficial ownership transparency | I fully agree with James' proposal. I think this information should be open and freely available. The Inter-corporate Ownership (61-517-X) database contains information about "who owns what" in Canada. The data is quite detailed and reaches back quite some time (I believe the initial version of the product dates from the 80s and perhaps even the 1970s.) From the Statistics Canada product page: From: http://www5.statcan.gc.ca/olc-cel/olc.action?objId=61-517-X&objType=2&la... "The Inter-corporate ownership product is the most authoritative and comprehensive source of information available on corporate ownership; a unique directory of "who owns what" in Canada. It provides up-to-date information reflecting recent corporate takeovers and other substantial changes. Ultimate corporate control is determined through a careful study of holdings by corporations, the effects of options, insider holdings, convertible shares and interlocking directorships. The number of corporations that make up the hierarchy of structures totals approximately 45,000. The information that is presented is based on non-confidential returns filed by Canadian corporations under the Corporations Returns Act and on research using public sources such as internet sites. |

216 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Beneficial ownership transparency | We support action on beneficial ownership as part of Canada's Open Government Action Plan. This is an area where Canada falls behind many other countries and is not compliant with new international standards of transparency. The ease with which it is possible to register shell companies in Canada and the lack of verification and updating of information by many provincial and territorial governments provides opportunities for tax evaders and money launderers to commit crimes. Effective international action to fight tax havens requires that all countries adopt high standards of transparency. It is also very important that there be public registries of corporate registrations. This would benefit businesses in terms of being able to verify beneficial ownership of clients or potential business partnerships as well as boost public accountability. | English | Anglais | Open Corporates | Ministères ouverts | CRA Services | Services de l’Agence du revenu du Canada | Fiscal transparency | Transparence fiscale | Other | Autres | Future Consideration | ||

218 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Beneficial ownership transparency | The reportedly leaked documents from a Panamanian based law firm, colloquially described as the “Panama Papers”, highlight a broader issue of the global financial system being abused for illicit purposes such as tax evasion and money laundering, and the pressing need for the Government of Canada to take concrete steps to address the ability of some Canadians to shield themselves, and their financial activities, from Canadian authorities. That some can rig the system to hide their wealth, whether amassed legally or not, is not merely unjust; it also masks corruption and harms global development by siphoning off revenues that could be directed to education, health care and infrastructure. Despite repeated promises at the international level to address company secrecy, Transparency International recently evaluated different G20 member states beneficial ownership transparency legal framework and ranked Canada as having a ‘weak framework.’ This is in contrast to the UK, which was given the ranking ‘very strong.’ Offshore banking is not in itself illegal, and those named should not be presumed to have done anything wrong. However, secrecy attracts those with something to hide, making beneficial ownership transparency an issue of global importance. In light of this, and in the run up to the global anti-corruption summit, which will take place in London on May 12th, Transparency International Canada calls upon the Government of Canada to commit to the establishment of a mandatory public registry of all companies and trusts registered in Canada. This registry will shed light on the legal and effective owners of Canadian registered companies. Public registers of beneficial ownership allow ill-gotten gains to be more easily traced, making it more difficult and less attractive for people to benefit from the proceeds of crime. They also make it easier for financial institutions and law enforcement officials, amongst others, to quickly, and without additional cost, ascertain information about the legal and effective owners of companies and trusts. The Government of Canada has committed itself to combat the flow of proceeds of foreign corruption into Canada. Creating a public registry system would be a necessary step to uphold such a commitment. To ensure an effective registration system, TI Canada urges the Government of Canada to work with provinces to ensure similar legislation is passed in all jurisdictions. | English | Anglais | Open Corporates | Ministères ouverts | CRA Services | Services de l’Agence du revenu du Canada | Fiscal transparency | Transparence fiscale | Other | Autres | Future Consideration | ||

220 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Beneficial ownership transparency | Anonymous shell companies play a central role in laundering and channeling funds, concealing behind a veil of secrecy the identity of corrupt individuals and irresponsible businesses involved in criminal activities, including tax evasion, terrorist financing, and the trafficking of drugs and people. This robs governments, in both developed and developing countries, of resources that might otherwise be invested in improving public services and stimulating inclusive economic growth. The legitimacy afforded to shady shell companies registered in well-respected places like Canada makes it easy for them to open bank accounts that can wire ill-gotten money anywhere in the world. In far too many cases, this tactic has been used to rob developing countries of the resources they need to invest in health, agriculture, and poverty reduction. In addition, they exacerbate governance problems and undermine the prospects for investment and growth. This risks undercutting the billions of dollars the Government of Canada spends each year on overseas development assistance to help developing countries become more prosperous and secure. We therefore urge the Government of Canada to increase the transparency of anonymous shell companies by committing to implement public, centralized registers of beneficial ownership information. | English | Anglais | Open Corporates | Ministères ouverts | CRA Services | Services de l’Agence du revenu du Canada | Fiscal transparency | Transparence fiscale | Other | Autres | Future Consideration | ||

234 | Other Open.Canada.ca | Autres ouvert.canada.ca | Canada's Action Plan on Open... | I am writing a paper on Electronic Government in Canada and it has come to my attention that Canada is lagging far behind other developed countries when it comes to e-participation via e-consulting and e-decision making (15th according to United Nations E-government Survey 2014). I am wondering about this stated deliverable: "Develop and launch a new government-wide consultation portal to promote opportunities for public participation, host online consultations, and share findings from completed consultations." Has this been launched? Is it referring to this: "http://www1.canada.ca/consultingcanadians/" ??

235 | 3 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Clarify how the Official Languages Act interacts with the Directive on Open Government | As Bernard Rudny and I wrote in our piece in Policy Options earlier this year [1]: “The Directive on Open Government requires that all information and data of business value be made available to the public, but not all government business is conducted in both official languages. In fact, most of the federal government’s information and data is monolingual. Clarifying in what circumstances information must be translated before being released will eliminate uncertainty among civil servants about how to comply with both policies.”

Public protest, critique, and active engagement in public consultation needs to be seen not only as a right, but a responsibility. Employers and employees need to see civic engagement as a public service. True open dialogue is a potential with the internet, but achieving this will require the development of a society-wide support for strong (but respectful, in my opinion) intellectual freedom. This will not happen overnight or in the next couple of years. What is realistic in the short term is to begin the process of public dialogue / consultation on this topic. For example, this would need to be part of the education process, which requires consultation with provinces since education is a provincial responsibility. Putting this on the agenda for a meeting with premiers and internationally with the open government partnership strikes me as a reasonable short-term goal. | English | Anglais | Other - Data & Civic Literacy | Autres – Données et alphabétisation civile | Alt - Process & Tools | Alt – Processus et outils | Engaging Canadians & the world | Mobiliser les Canadiens et le monde | Data & Civic Literacy | Données et alphabétisation civile | Future Consideration | |

340 | Other Open.Canada.ca | Autres ouvert.canada.ca | Creating Canada’s Action Plan on Open... | I would suggest a good way of ensuring open government is to govern openly. Take for example cannabis, your party promised to legalize it, but 6 months later have said nothing about your plan, leaving Canadians completely in the dark and creating unnecessary and unhelpful confusion and ambiguity. Another example is the TPP. Again, all we hear is that Ms. Freeland is consulting, but we don't know who and we don't know anything else about your government's position on the TPP. If your party is serious about openness, these examples don't really demonstrate that. It isn't particularly complicated; if you want to be open and transparent, then JUST BE OPEN AND TRANSPARENT. It really is pretty straight forward. |

342 | Other Open.Canada.ca | Autres ouvert.canada.ca | Creating Canada’s Action Plan on Open... | Dear average taxpayer: We have completed an examination of your tax filings for the last three years and we wish to inform you that you have been reassessed and now owe us $2,192.63. You erroneously claimed undocumented charitable contributions totaling $756.45 on line 349 for the years 2012-2014 and unsupported medical claims of $1,090.16 on line 332 for the same period. Furthermore, you failed to claim capital gains on some of your meager investments and we have assessed you an additional $759.23 for tax owing. If you require a more detailed explanation for these charges, why don't you hire an accountant? You can continue to try doing your taxes on your own but don't blame us when we nail you for even more owing. Included within these charges are penalties and accumulated interest for the three-year period under investigation. Plus, if you don't cough up what you owe within 30 days, we're going to start charging you interest at what some might call a usurious rate.
Our suggestion to you is to pay as soon as you can or we can't promise what action will be taken next. While it's true we can't put you in prison, we can make your life a living hell for as long as necessary. Your government in action, Dear valued wealthy client: First, we'd like to apologize for corresponding with you directly. We know that you prefer that we communicate with you through your accountants or your esteemed team of corporate tax lawyers. However, in this case, we were obliged to contact you directly. We almost hate to bring it up seeing as how the matter is so trivial but the law is the law, as they say (or at least as most Canadians say). It's just that one of our overzealous auditors happened to notice that you didn't declare income from money you've been holding in the Isle of Man for a number of years. We assume that this was an oversight and probably was due to questionable advice you may have obtained elsewhere. God knows, it's hard to keep track of income when it's in the eight or nine-figure range, or at least that's what we've been told by those in the know. So we can see how a few million here or a few million there might easily be overlooked. Sadly, however, it looks like there's some tax owing on the Isle of Man funds. Given that we were inexcusably tardy in bringing this matter to your attention, please take as long as you want to pay. And as for penalties and interest, just forget about it -- it's on us. Let's face it: neither of us wants a long, drawn-out court battle over this -- and anyway, only one of us can afford that. So pay what you can when you can and we'll call it even. Your pal, |

344 | 22 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Crowdsourcing/Open-sourcing conception... | Crowdsourcing/Open-sourcing conception and design of tangible money Partners: Government of Canada, Minister of Finance, Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), Royal Canadian Mint, Canadian Bank Note Company, Civil Society. TANGIBLY is a social innovation non profit national community organization established in Montreal in 2016 with a mission to enhance the social, cultural, territorial, economic and environmental well-being of communities around Canada through a nation wide Design Lab. It is specifically dedicated to taking immediate, positive and passionate action to pursue the goal of improving the social and psychological experience of the use of currency by citizens throughout the country with projects focused on exploring the potential of current and future conceptions, designs and productions of tangible money. Money is generally known as a medium that can be exchanged for goods and services and is also used as a measure of value. Money can be divided into two types: tangible and intangible. Tangible is something that is real, capable of being touched, substantial and material. It is safe to assume that many things in our world revolve around money but now, it is time for money to revolve around every day citizens, and make changes in regular circulation currency that generates real and actual tangible benefits, rather than imaginary ones. Tangibly's mission is to empower Canadians, both men and women, to become civically engaged members of society and to participate in social innovation processes related to projects of enhanced collaborative conception and design of tangible money. The Theory of Citizen Participation is at the core of our mission and it is to put citizens' input and participation, both men and women, and especially the youth of Canada, at the heart of ideas, designs and alternative practices for printed bank notes and minted coinage. The projects aim to unleash the human potential of the minds and hands of all citizens to enhance the experience of commerce and exchange when it comes to tangible money. It also aims to accelerate and optimize the use of high technology innovations in tangible money production processes with a purpose of exploring ways to foster social transformation. This reflects our desire to build a more meaningful and effective Canadian economy with definite impacts; not a vague or elusive proposition. The main strategy is to enable the implementation of a pioneering design lab and social platform (Tangibly Design Lab) for national interactive dialogue and creation processes: from idea promotion to artistic contributions in the conception and design of printed bank notes and minted coinage. We work towards building a collaborative community in a decentralized, non-hierarchical way of working together that facilitates project-specific teamwork within a larger, ongoing and permanent national community. This socially innovative on-going national platform for the empowerment and achievement of individual contributors ( idea generators, artists, graphic designers, etc.) will allow us to empower citizens to seek the right information that will allow them to pursue innovative research and designs into the conception and design of tangible money. We also strive to build an equitable and inclusive social economy to ensure all Canadians, both men and women, have the opportunity to work and thrive. We believe the social economy of Canada needs to be recognized worldwide for its ability to foster innovative solutions to economic disparity. We aim for a more just, prosperous and caring society through excellent research, effective networked collaboration and knowledge dissemination, and provide a valued neutral space within which an open dialogue among all interested parties can take place. We believe in using art for social change, to contribute significantly to the progress of a healthy democracy, by creating a sustainable sense of belonging to Canada and the power to produce tangible impacts. We are working on multi-sectoral partnerships that will allow for the tangible money of Canada to look like the innovations and new realities Canadians work so hard for, in order for these same Canadians to benefit from an immense increase in personal and psychological well-being. Improving the lives of Canadians—and contributing to a more resilient society—requires breakthrough ideas and approaches, game changing strategies and collaborations, and continuous innovation.To bring these values and projects into actual physical existence, we envision multiple possible futures for tangible currency. This includes Provincial and Territorial Empowerment Initiatives, and increased and complete knowledge diffusion on the principles of bank note and minted currency conceptions, designs and productions processes. While focusing on identifying innovations that are scaleable and have deep impact to create a more financially resilient society, and a thriving more beautiful Canadian economy, our aim is to create the future of tangible money that will reflect Canadian society and innovations, along side values of economic rights and financial inclusion. |

347 | Contact Us | Contactez-nous | Deficit spending - not in favour | Hello, The budget released Tuesday March 22, indicates an increasing budget deficit. Please ensure that the right people know my serious reservations and concerns about this. It is not responsible to spend more money than the government brings in. It seems reckless to do so and stunts the long term prosperity and growth of the country. This also sets a poor example for the country's citizens to follow. Citizens, businesses and government should all attempt to manage their own finances wisely. Despite the pain of not being able to afford something immediately it is better to spend when the money is there rather than to foster indebtedness. Please, please spend our country's money wisely and frugally. Please don't run a deficit. We Canadians work hard to earn our money and try hard to live within our means. It feels disrespectful that our nation not also strive to do the same in a display of solidarity with us. Being fiscally prudent may not have much glitz and glamour but in the long term it will set up the country for even greater success. Please could you pass along this note and sentiments within to the Finance Minister Bill Morneau and to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau? I realize that I'm just one voice and I question what really 'one voice' can do. But I believe that many many Canadians, regardless their political affiliation, would echo my thoughts. Thank you. |

349 | 84 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Develop an open data standard for… | The Government of Canada has an opportunity to use this OGP action plan to solve a concrete problem by developing and implementing a new Grants and Contributions (G&C) Data Standard to make improved G&C data available to citizens, the nonprofit sector, and public officials. Canada is already recognized internationally as a leader in the quality and availability of data about its nonprofit sector [1]. Improved G&Cs data will enable Canadians to better understand government spending to its nonprofit sector and to use that understanding to engage in solution-finding in communities and to partner with government on social policy objectives. The Proposal G&Cs are the main ways that our government funds organizations in support of program objectives like community development, integration of refugees, or youth engaging in physical activity. The Directive on Open Government already compels departments to release grants & contributions programs data. However, it does not dictate a standard format for the data. We propose that the Government of Canada include in its action plan a commitment to develop and implement a new standard for publishing G&C data. This will ensure that the information published is detailed and structured enough to be useful for a wide variety of stakeholders and is interoperable with data from other departments and about other government expenditures (e.g. contracts). The design of that standard must be done with input from open data experts, policy makers, and nonprofit representatives. The Need Both the nonprofit sector and the federal government have clearly identified that more and better information about the sector, including its funding via G&Cs, is required for improved policy and decision-making. In 2003, the National Survey of Non-profit and Voluntary Organizations (NSNVO) [2] was initiated to meet that information need by “collecting comprehensiveinformation about the breadth of Canada’s nonprofit and voluntary sector, the types of organizations that make up the sector, and the areas in which they are active” [3]. Unfortunately, this valuable survey was only conducted once. A second example of a need for more G&C information was documented in the Independent Blue Ribbon Panel on Federal Grant and Contribution Programs, which was commissioned by the Treasury Board in 2006 [4]. One of its top recommendations was improved information sharing “[t]o reduce the burden on clients and improve service, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat should [...] ensure that relevant information about federal investments in grants and contributions is easily available across government”, and included a specific recommendation for “the sharing [of a] recipient’s grant and contribution funding history” through business numbers. While this report resulted in many positive changes in how federal G&Cs were made, the recommendations for improved information sharing remain to be fulfilled. The Benefits Developing and implementing a standard for open G&C data will:
It is important to emphasize that the only way that these benefits are achieved is if this data is published in a robust data standard designed specifically for these use cases. Publishing basic machine-readable data along the lines of what is currently available will not provide these results. This is why an advisory group must be consulted to develop this standard. Fortunately, Canada has deep expertise in this area, having been involved as a key contributor to many internationally recognized data standards. Through Canada’s leadership in the Open Government Partnership (OGP) and the International Open Data Charter, this standard could become a global norm for G&C-type of spending data. Because of Canada’s expertise with multiple data standards, the G&C data standard could easily be designed to be interoperable with other international data initiatives such as procurement transparency, fiscal transparency, non-profit grantmaking, corporate transparency and international development aid transparency.

What a wonderful opportunity it would be to be able to see across the Gs&Cs programs of the federal government.Not only would we understand granting patterns and increase access to funding information, but it would also provide a valuable new data source in a a rapidly growing employment sector where we have a dearth of data. | English | Anglais | Grants & Contribution | Subventions et contributions | Civil Society | Société civile | Fiscal transparency | Transparence fiscale | Other | Autres | Yes | ||

354 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Develop an open data standard for… | In support of this proposal: All companies and nonprofits operating in Canada report to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) using business numbers or other identifiers. To assist in linking government disclosures to specific entities, the Government of Canada should publish the names, business numbers and other identifiers of all reporting entities. Currently, Canada only publishes the numbers and identifiers of federally incorporated entities [1]. A new dataset should include, at minimum, the names, numbers and identifiers of provincially incorporated entities that report to the CRA. Without this dataset, merging the information provided by different governments and other sources into a single database to perform analysis is prohibitively expensive. When numbers and identifiers can be used as unique keys, merging is quick and easy. Preparing and releasing this new dataset would lower the cost of using all disclosures relating to nonprofits, including grants and contributions disclosures, thus increasing the use of the disclosures and enabling positive impacts from that use. 1. http://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/0032ce54-c5dd-4b66-99a0-320a7b5e99f2 | English | Anglais | Grants & Contribution | Subventions et contributions | CRA Services | Services de l’Agence du revenu du Canada | Fiscal transparency | Transparence fiscale | Other | Autres | Future Consideration | ||

356 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Develop an open data standard for… | This is an excellent idea! Not only is this information important for understanding the the Government of Canada's stewardship of resources, it is crucial to improving decision making across the philanthropic sector. Federal grants and contributions directly affect the front line programming that occurs in communities across the country and should be taken into account whenever other funding bodies and grant makers make their own granting decisions. Having clear and usable data of what programs are being funded, and what level of investment is being made in addressing social challenges will improve the subsequent decision making of local governments, private foundations, and community foundations. Once a useful standard for reporting this data is established, other funders will be able to improve their reporting and more robust sets of sector wide data will be possible. From a grant making perspective (I work for Edmonton Community Foundation), standardized and open data of grants and contributions will profoundly improve decision making across the philanthropic sector. | English | Anglais | Grants & Contribution | Subventions et contributions | Civil Society | Société civile | Fiscal transparency | Transparence fiscale | Other | Autres | Yes | ||

369 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Develop an open data standard for… | This proposal makes a whole lot of sense when you consider that many of the Open Government commitments, and broader commitments pledged by the current government, will hinge on strong partnerships with outside actors, including those in the non-profit sector. This includes commitments to support experimentation, innovation, evidence-based decision making and improved digital services -- the non-profit sector has a role to play in all of these areas, so investing in the data infrastructure that supports the sector should be an early priority for the government. | English | Anglais | Grants & Contribution | Subventions et contributions | Civil Society | Société civile | Fiscal transparency | Transparence fiscale | Other | Autres | Yes | ||

373 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Develop an open data standard for… | "We support this initiative. Information regarding federal government spending through grants and contributions is essential information that should be publicly accessible in an appropriate searchable web platform. We have identified four reasons why this information is critically important to the nonprofit sector. 1.This data will help nonprofit and charitable organizations avoid duplication and develop innovative partnerships by allowing them to see what projects and funding is currently being provided on issues that are of importance to Canadians, such as homelessness, international development support, investments in sport, etc. 2.The availability of this information will allow the nonprofit sector and our government counterparts to identify and address issues where there may be a gap in funding or program support, as well as identify trends and issues that are impacting Canadian communities. 3.Publicly available data about grants and contributions will be a stepping stone to further analysis that will help us all understand effective outcomes, what works, and provide information that can lead to significant partnerships to respond to emerging issues. 4.We have long recognized the lack of data available about the sector, including but not limited to grants and contributions, is putting our sector at risk in terms of our ability to innovate, evaluate, identify gaps and risks, and support our communities for the future.

374 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Develop an open data standard for… | As this excellent proposal makes clear, Canada has a prime opportunity to lead by example in creating a standard for Grants and Contributions (G&C) data. Drawing on my own experiences working in the nonprofit sector, I would argue that unless that G&C data is standardized, it will be difficult for social good organizations to make effective use of this data. The proposed G&C standard is an important step forward in ensuring that this open data set can be used to make the nonprofit sector more informed, agile, and transparent. | English | Anglais | Grants & Contribution | Subventions et contributions | Civil Society | Société civile | Fiscal transparency | Transparence fiscale | Other | Autres | Yes | ||

380 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Digital Preservation | A different sort of approach here might involve government support of a project like IPFS: https://ipfs.io/ IPFS is a storage layer aspiring to become a critical part of internet infrastructure. It basically stores and finds data via a random-looking ID, that is derived directly from the contents of the file. This is in contrast to the current way of finding things, which involves storing named (ie labelled) files on specific servers. The benefit of IPFS's approach is that anyone can store the data and serve it. Since any version of -- for example -- a specific PDF file would the exact same label, anyone with the file could send it in response to a request. So instead of someone looking for "some-file.pdf", their computer would look for the random-looking (but NOT random) ID of the file, something like "f5dd819a2018b2283e80bbf3b14c74b7e0f1bc48017e764364908a8584c7d846". That ID is derived directly from the contents of the file itself. Changing even the smallest thing (like the "last modified date" of the file), would completely change the ID. So long-story-short, as long as at least one person in Canada was interested in a file, they would have it in a Dropbox-like folder in their computer and could serve it to anyone else interested in having it. When IPFS gets up to speed, it's expected that some organizations (akin to the Internet Archive) will likely step up to warehouse lots of important information, like they currently do on the web. But the nice part of IPFS is that it allows anyone to contribute to the warehousing of data, just by keeping it on their own computer in a specific shareable place, preventing it from being lost. | English | Anglais | Provide and Preserve Access | Fournir et préserver l’accès | Other - User Centric | Autres – Axé sur l’utilisateur | Open by default | Ouvert par défaut | Access & Preservation | Accès et conservation | Implementation Guidance | ||

Do we really need to give government authorities more reasons and latitude to say no?

Secondly, while individual Canadians have an inherent right of privacy, businesses and corporations do not. Any business or corporation wanting to do business with the Government of Canada or the Parliament of Canada should be prepared to accept openness and transparency in the expenditure of taxpayer dollars, or not bid on government contracts. Specific trade secrets may be protected, subject to the authority of the Information and Privacy Commissioner. Thirdly, Crown Corporations and other agencies, boards and commissions at the federal government level should be subject to the same openness and transparency as the Government of Canada proper, with the same limited exceptions as described. Finally, Canadian citizens, acting as private individuals, have the right to free and open access to public information. Professional journalists, registered lobbyists, agents of non-governmental organizations, and others acting on behalf of an association or group, may be asked to pay a nominal fee to defray the costs associated with information requests, provided such fee does not pose a deterrent to making such requests." | English | Anglais | ATI | Accès à l’information | Open Data | Données ouvertes | Open by default | Ouvert par défaut | Access & Preservation | Accès et conservation | Yes | ||

397 | 72 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Endorsing parliamentary openness in… | Parliaments around the world are adopting open parliament action plans as part of their Open Government National Action Plans. Legislative openness has been called "one of the greatest success stories of the OGP" [2]. The House of Commons of Canada could endorse the principles set out in the Declaration on Parliamentary Openness [3]. Supported by 140 organizations in 75 countries, the Declaration promotes a culture of openness by making parliamentary information transparent, easing access to parliamentary information, and enabling electronic communication of parliamentary information. Endorsing the Declaration would send a clear institutional signal to all Canadians that Parliament is commitment to these principles and opportunities for future collaboration on open parliament initiatives. Working with civil society, the Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada, or another parliamentary body, could explore which parliamentary mechanism would be appropriate to achieve this commitment idea.

The role of parliament in supporting open government goes beyond enacting legislation on openness and conducting oversight of the National Action Plan, to opening parliament itself. The principles of parliamentary openness aim to create a culture fostering transparency, accountability, citizen participation and parliamentary ethics. Canada has shown leadership in this area through the parliament’s legislative information service PARLINFO, the publication of parliamentarians’ expenditures report, mechanisms for engaging citizens on draft legislation, and its strong Conflict of Interest Code for current and former parliamentarians.

Committee schedules and other committee data, on the other hand, are not published as data. For a few years post-2011, whenever a section of parl.gc.ca was redesigned, XML data was included. Unfortunately, when the committees website was (nicely!) redone a few months ago, no data was included. It would be useful to include open data in all new development work. There are other potentially interesting legislative data that isn't available, like structured data for legislation, written questions/answers and other tabled documents. The work of the Hansard office is also a noteworthy example. While it does truly heroic indexing work, carefully categorizing each speech within a structured ontology, this isn't included in their public document XML, which could be extremely useful for research. A lot of great technical work is done, but in isolation from the needs of data users. For parliamentary data users, and Canadians at large, having someone in the House of Commons with "open data" in their job description, who could engage with users, would be great step towards increasing open communication. This commitment idea, therefore, calls for an engagement process with parliamentary data users and stakeholders. This National Action Plan is an opportunity to develop a common approach and vision for a dynamic and innovative parliamentary data ecosystem in Canada. |

We definitely need an open ontology (preferably in a portable standard such as OWL2), representing not only the topics discussed, but also very possible relationships involved (e.g., laws, regulations, government entities, key positions and their title holders, external entities, interest groups, etc.). Reusing Semantic Web technology, we would then be best positioned to automatically annotate all contents, but furthermore enable complex queries that would narrow down automatically, and allow automated recommendation, of contents based on predefined custom requirements. | English | Anglais | Other - Open Parliament | Autres – Gouvernement ouvert | Alt - Quality & Standards | Alt – Qualité et normes | Open by default | Ouvert par défaut | Open Parliament | Parlement ouvert | Future Consideration | ||

442 | 16 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Enhancing Whistleblower Protection | Problem to be addressed: Canada’s current legal framework for whistleblowing is outdated and out of step with internationally recognized best practices. The most serious deficiencies are 1) lack of protection for public sector whistleblowers, either at a federal or provincial level, and 2) an almost complete lack of coverage of the private sector. Most of the current legislation focuses on procedures for handling allegations of wrongdoing, rather than on protection for the whistleblowers. At the federal level, the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act (PSDPA) created two new agencies: (1) the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner and (2) the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Tribunal. Only the Tribunal can provide whistleblowers with a remedy, but access to the Tribunal is controlled by the Integrity Commissioner. The effectiveness of this mechanism has been brought into question, as the Commissioner has referred only seven whistleblowers to the Tribunal, and no case has yet reached the point where the Tribunal could order a remedy for the whistleblower. One example of the shortcomings of the PSDPA is that the onus is on the whistleblower to prove that adverse actions were intended by the employer as reprisals: an almost impossible task. Best practice is to reverse the onus by requiring the employer to prove that adverse actions against the whistleblower were not reprisals. Of the six provinces that have whistleblowing laws, only one (Ontario) provides a mechanism for whistleblowers who have suffered reprisals to seek a remedy. None of Canada’s whistleblowing laws contains adequate measures for preventing or halting reprisals in the first place, before the whistleblower suffers serious harm. There is virtually no coverage of the private sector in Canadian whistleblowing laws. The federal law (the PSDPA) does not address private sector wrongdoing. For the public sector wrongdoing that it does cover, the PSDPA does not allow private sector participants to be either investigated or sanctioned. There are currently no steps being taken to bring Canadian laws in line with best practices per Canada’s G20 commitment. The PSDPA, which came into force in 2007, requires that the President of the Treasury Board conduct a five year review of the legislation and report on the review to Parliament and the Senate. Despite this legal obligation, no review has been conducted to date. Main Objective: Demonstrate a commitment to creating a strong federal legislative framework that will enable workers in both the private and public sectors to speak up about wrongdoing, risk or malpractice without fear of reprisal; and work with the provinces to provide similar frameworks at a provincial level. OGP Challenge Addressed: Improving public integrity, improving public services, increasing corporate accountability Verifiable and measurable milestones to fulfill the commitment: Conduct a formal and independent review of the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act, with substantive input from civil society and internationally-recognized experts, and publicize the recommendations of the review (August 2017) Draft and table amendments to existing federal law to afford whistleblower protection to all cases of wrongdoing involving government resources, regardless of the employment status of the participants (public or private sector) (2018). Launch a public consultation on the development of a federal whistleblower protection law that covers private sector wrongdoing (2018). Establish a dialogue with the provincial governments and agencies, particularly those without whistleblower protection laws, to discuss how to enhance whistleblower protection in these jurisdictions (2017). |

444 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Enhancing Whistleblower Protection | A strong free, free press is a cornerstone of democratic societies. However, the ability of the press to lift the veil on corruption in the public and private sectors often hinges upon courageous individuals willing to speak up about wrongdoings. Too often, these whistleblowers pay a serious price and face losing their livelihoods and threats to their personal safety. Canada must take action to strengthen whistleblower protection for individuals in the public and private sector. I support TI-Canada's submission, which calls upon the government to take action to reform Canada's whistleblowing laws. TI-Canada's submission details clear milestones, which should be spelled out in Canada's Action Plan on Open Government 2016-2018. Canada cannot effectively fight corruption, if those people who put everything on the line to expose it, are not protected. | English | Anglais | Other - Whistleblower | Autres – Dénonciateur | NA | S.O. | Engaging Canadians & the world | Mobiliser les Canadiens et le monde | Other | Autres | Future Consideration | ||

447 | 7 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Establish a multi-stakeholder forum | Within the Open Government Partnership, government and civil society are intended to be partners and co-creators of the National Action Plan. To achieve this, over 30 OGP countries use multi-stakeholder forums. The forums provide a permanent dialogue mechanism between government and civil society, participating as equal partners in agreeing the National Action Plan and planning and monitoring in its implementation. For additional context, we are sending via email an OGP draft document describing these forums. To date, the Government of Canada has been going through each stage of the OGP process unilaterally, without the active participation and collaboration of civil society. To remedy this, on March 29, we launched the Canadian Open Government Civil Society Network (http://www.opengovdialogue.ca). Our purpose is to establish a permanent dialogue mechanism and to engage more civil society organizations in the OGP. Since then, 26 organizations have signed the letter of intent (attached with signatories). To lead the network, an interim steering committee was formed. Its members are: Gail Davidson, Lawyers' Rights Watch Canada David Fewer, Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic Jean-Noé Landry, Open North Michael Lenczner, Powered by Data James McKinney Toby Mendel, Centre for Law and Democracy Sukanya Pillay, Canadian Civil Liberties Association After discussions and meetings with civil servants in the Treasury Board Secretariat, we are submitting a proposal for a multi-stakeholder forum (attached). In preparing this proposal, we spoke with civil society representatives in countries with permanent dialogue mechanisms, we spoke with the OGP Support Unit to learn about other countries’ experiences, we built on the resources they provided, and we integrated their feedback to our proposal. Many OGP countries have formed multi-stakeholder forums through executive decrees and similar instruments. Canada’s forum should be formed through an Order-in-Council, to protect it from easily becoming inactive through, for example, the neglect of a new government after an election. We can provide sample orders from other countries. We look forward to further refining this proposal in the next phase of the consultation on the OGP National Action Plan in June.

465 | 7 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Fiber Optic Internet Access for All citizens | Internet access is now recognized as a fundamental human right for the 21st century. To ensure the wealth of people, the wealth of communities, the wealth of a 21st century social-political-economy, the wealth of nations requires a ubiquitous digital infrastructure as a public commons. Only in this way can all the spill-over benefits and network effects be nourished and harnessed. Infrastructure is best managed and governed as a commons. The most salient costs in the 21st century are increasingly 'opportunity costs' the costs involved in generating and seizing opportunity. In an age of accelerating change -the key to sustainable social conditions is the scaling of learning - life-long learning. Only a digital infrastructure that is not held hostage to 'rent-seeking' incumbents can provide the neutrality and access for unparalleled, unprecedented connectivity. The social-political economy of the 21st century will involve exponential growth in virtual goods, services, innovation - because information is not scarce nor is it a 'rival' good. Our future economy and society must provide the infrastructure and commons that enable inclusive, ubiquitous, and unpredictable participation. |

598 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Global and cross-sector collaboration on open data for agriculture and nutrition | Making open data work for agriculture and nutrition requires a shared agenda to increase the supply, quality, and interoperability of data, alongside action to build capacity for the use of data. The Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) initiative includes partners from across the globe, States, Private Companies, Civil Society, united by the common belief that sharing agriculture and nutrition data makes us stronger, more innovative and as a result, in a better position to address the emerging food security challenge while developing wealth through the stimulation of global ag markets. The key pillars of the organisation are private and public world leaders, clear supporters of knowledge and innovation. The GODAN network can act as a convener, bringing to Governments solutions, ideas, expertise around the world from other governments on how to solve common problems through the use of open data. For example: ensure public access to weather data, trade data, geographic data, soil and water data, registries of agricultural inputs - to use open data to monitor and enhance the implementation of key food security, agriculture and nutrition plans, and the full achievement of the SDGs. GODAN can introduce relevant Government officials to success stories, lessons learned, interoperability, through access, dissemination, licensing - with a special focus on increasing agricultural and nutrition productivity. Currently there are 5,135 agriculture datasets and 20 nutrition datasets available on Canada’s Open Data Portal [1] [2]. We would like to help advocate for and facilitate the release of many more datasets of general public interest in these areas. GODAN is in a unique position, acting as the connection between the ultimate data users - the population - those who make it possible developing applications that make use of it to answer needs from the public - the private sector - and Governments, source of the data and in turn, of additional satisfaction from the populations. In other words, through open data, GODAN helps Governments and civil society build up a true partnership for development. For more information, please contact us at enquiries@godan.info Sources:

Establishing this legal norm will further accelerate the transition to open by default, as all information and data would be “born” open. In New Zealand, such a waiver was considered during the development of its NZGOAL (New Zealand Government Open Access and Licensing) framework [2]: “At a policy level, guidance which advocated all-of-government or even selective waiving of Crown copyright (for departments) and copyright (for other State Services agencies) would be a substantial move and one which is considered more appropriate for consideration in the context of any future reform of the Copyright Act.” In Canada, a reform of the Copyright Act is not necessary, as the Copyright Act already allows for selective waiver of Crown copyright. For example, the Reproduction of Federal Law Order [3] is an Order in Council permitting the reproduction of federal law. Tamir Israel of CIPPIC described some of the considerations in this mailing list thread [4].

1005 | GCConnex | GCConnex | Great work! Any progress on the consideration of open source software? For example, source code could be added to the list (e.g. datasets, digital records and source code)? If we search "Canada Open Source" in Google, the first result points to this idea submitted as part of the Action Plan 2.0 Consultation : http://open.canada.ca/en/Open_Source_Software Lot of great comments and the response from the OpenGov team was: Formalizing our approach to the use of open source tools through Canada’s Action Plan on Open Government is certainly an option that we will explore. Some departments have already established guidelines to using and distributing open source tools; this could be scaled up. Thanks for any info you can give us :) |
English | Anglais | Bon travail! Y a-t-il un quelconque progrès sur la considération d’un logiciel en source libre?

Quelques ministères ont déjà établi des lignes directrices pour l’utilisation et la distribution d’outils en source libre; cela pourrait être augmenté.

1007 | Courriel | idea submission | Hello, I was very happy to see this government initiative and to be able to share our ideas to shape the Action Plan on Open Government. I am however unsure as to what details a detailed submission. How details should it be or should I simply describe it in broad strokes and email more details if the idea seems interesting. Take for example the theme of Fiscal Transparency, I would think that it would be beneficial for the government to issue a one page example of how the average Canadian taxes are spent by percentages. So many time we must turn to biased think tanks such as the Fraser or Broadbent institute. These of course are biased and might be 100% honest with Canadians. Ex: Should i detail this further? What kind of information should I provide? Thanks for your help. |

1028 | 2 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Innovation for the public good | Shape policy to ensure that the public good is central to benefits that accrue through opening government information and data. Recognize that there are both benefits and dangers to opening up government data for commercial exploitation. For example, in opening up government data to commercialization, there is a potential to shift from free public services to for-pay commercial services. Take action to make sure that this does not happen. Suggestions for action: 1) do not allow private services to interfere with free government services (e.g. paying a search engine to have private services developed from free public goods appear before free government services should be illegal); 2) insist on quid pro quo, i.e. commercial services from free public goods should at minimum provide free basic service - this would require a modification to the open government license, which is advisable in my opinion; and 3) ensure that private interests benefiting from free public goods give back to the public good through taxes. The global nature of the internet means that this would take an international effort. I would love to see Canada make good use of our leadership in open data to push for this. | English | Anglais | Other - Open Culture | Autres – Culture ouverte | Open Dialogue & Policy | Dialogue ouvert et politique | Open by default | Ouvert par défaut | Culture of Openness | Culture d’ouverture | Future Consideration | |

1032 | Detailed Submission | Soumission détaillée | Internal email from Service for Business, ISED | Thank you for holding the Open Government session last evening, it was nice to hear from the different perspectives and also the opportunity to network. A little background, I’m the manager of the Service Innovation Team within the Service for Business Branch at Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED). My group is responsible for the online delivery of two multi-jurisdictional initiatives designed to help support Canadian entrepreneurs to start, grow and comply with government rules and regulations. To achieve these objectives, the Canada Business Network (CBN - http://www.canadabusiness.ca/eng/) provides integrated access to government programs and services from two levels of government (federal, provincial & territorial) and BizPaL - http://services.bizpal-perle.ca//?b=01 a tool to help find business licenses and permits from all levels of government (federal, provincial & territorial, regional & municipal). We are consumers of Open Data as we need to leverage these components to create an integrated service for our business clients. One of the main reason for attending last night’s event was to see if there are opportunities for groups like ourselves who do not own specific data sets to contribute to the Open Government initiative. What we can offer does not fit into the current definition of Open Data. My questions are: 1. Are there opportunities to expand the scope/definition of Open Government to include a new category called “Open Services”? This category would include pre-packed web services/widgets that will extend proven client centric functionalities to partners serving the same clients. Similar to Open Data, there is no effort required from the consuming partner to manage the raw elements that enable this functionality. To date we have 3 widgets (1 production ready and 2 in beta):
We have plans to build a predictive engine for the CBN to pull related customized information for clients this year and once developed we want to create it in widget form so other organizations can leverage it to support their services. In addition to the above widgets, we also offer access to the asset building blocks (e.g. program summary descriptions, blog articles, topic pages) of the Canada Business Network website through an API with a structured definition to help content consumer better understand the context of the metadata tags. We currently syndicate CBN & BizPaL content to provincial partners to support the content within their respective portals as well as to private organization such as YouInc.com, who re-purposed CBN blogs as they developed their portal. In this case, the API would not fit under the category of Open Service. |

1033 | Detailed Submission | Soumission détaillée | Internal email from Service for Business, ISED | 2. From an implementation perspective, will the plan include a level of detail that calls for standards on making open data sets/API/Extracts more user friendly? The biggest challenge as a consumer of Open Data is the absence of insight into the challenges of those wishing to use data from the authoritative sources. Aside from which technical format is best suited for the various types of content, there’s an absence standards around metadata documentation. For example, the content creators or owners need to approach classification from a non-GoC perspective and providing supporting documents to give the consumers a chance of understanding why data/information has been categorize in the manner it is presented. |

1034 | Detailed Submission | Soumission détaillée | Internal email from Service for Business, ISED | 3. One of the biggest hurdle to Open Government is cultural shift at all levels of government, has your group thought about how you will break the impasse between the mandate and resistance from individual product owners? How can Open Data exist when Stats Canada has a cost recovery model? Ideally Open data should come from the authoritative source, what if the authoritative source is unable or unwilling to open up their data? What guidance can you provide to organizations that are willing, have the ability and access to free (Public Works buy and sell data) or purchased (Stats Canada) data? Do they have an obligation to move forward on an interim basis to make the data into a consumable format and publish it as open data? If that is a possible option, what type of mandate coverage is required to move Open Government forward (e.g. working with authoritative source, copy right, communication etc.)? |

1041 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Inventions ouvertes / Open Inventions | A LOT of public money goes into research and development -- which is not available to the public (who helped finance it). This is outrageous! On one hand this system forces the public to subsidize the profits of private companies or individuals. Unfair! And on the other hand this privatization of knowledge slow down research and development, in the name of private profit. Not smart! Humanity has benefited from shared knowledge in science for centuries (peasant knowledge to improve crop varieties, mathematics, biology, astronomy...). We have strayed too far from the ethics of shared knowledge. | English | Anglais | Open Science | Science ouverte | Other - Open Culture | Autres – Culture ouverte | Innovation, prosperity & sustainable dev | Innovation, prospérité et développement durable | Other | Autres | Implementation Guidance | ||
1042 | 35 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Inventions ouvertes / Open Inventions | BACKGROUND Inventions are key to society. They lead to innovation and progress, which in turn help improve our quality of life and well-being. That’s why the government of Canada invests a substantial amount of money in research and development by funding its own science based departments and agencies as well universities and industry through various funding programs. As a result, the Canadian government is the source of many inventions developed in Canada. But what happens to these inventions then? Typically, inventions are handled with traditional intellectual property management approaches: trade secrets, patenting, licensing and transfers to industry. These methods have their roots in a strong belief that the socioeconomic benefits we can derive from inventions will be greater if their ownership is kept private and exclusive. On the other hand, history has shown that inventions that are freely and openly available can have significant socioeconomic impacts: X-rays, penicillin, the Internet and the World Wide Web to name a few. None if these key inventions were patented. THE PROBLEM Current Open Government and Open Science efforts do not propose mechanisms to pro-actively set government inventions free. The open publication of scientific articles describing an invention and the release of associated scientific data are a step in the right direction as they inform, often in a detailed and exhaustive way, of the nature of the invention. However, these open approaches do not permit the use and the deployment of the invention by others. This ultimately results in reduced dissemination of government inventions and slower progress for our society. THE SOLUTION Under the new Action Plan on Open Government 2016-2018, an “Open Inventions” initiative would propose strategies, policies and tools to support and foster the pro-active release of government funded inventions openly and for free. To achieve this, tools such as an “Open Government Inventions Portfolio”, new departmental intellectual property policies and a standardized “Open Government Patent Pledge” would be developed to constitute the required legal foundation. In a way, the proposed “Open Inventions” approach is to government funded inventions what Creative Commons is to copyrighted works and what the open source software movement is to software.

1043 | Detailed Submission | Soumission détaillée | Joint submission CJFE, CAJ, etal | I am writing on behalf of Canadian Journalists for Free Expression, the Canadian Association of Journalists, Newspapers Canada, Fédération Professionnelle des Journalistes du Québec and the Centre for Free Expression to follow up on our February 17, 2016 letter to your office regarding access to information reform. The letter expressed our desire, as organizations with expertise in access to information, to meet with you to discuss the elements essential to effective ATI reform. We are encouraged by your commitment to engaging with civil society to shape the Action Plan on Open Government 2016–18, and we believe our organizations can help. After many years of neglect, Canada’s access to information system is in crisis. As you have rightly said, our country deserves a more open and more accountable government, and updating the Access to Information Act is a vital part of that initiative. We would like to reiterate our request to meet with you at your earliest convenience to discuss specific ideas about how to reform Canada’s access to information system. We will follow up with your office in the coming days to explore dates that would be possible for you to meet with us, and look forward to working together to explore ways we can make access to information reform a reality. |

1046 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Make code available for reuse across GoC & release to the public | I completely agree with this. One additional criteria needs to be added, however. Code that is released by the government should NOT have to be translated into both official languages. Instead, software with comments in EITHER official language should be released as soon as possible. All Federal government releases are currently mandated to be in both official languages. This policy has the unintended consequence of slowing down public data/code releases. An anecdote: I used to work at Statistics Canada and officials there withheld open-sourcing software only because the lead developer worked in French and her comments in the code had not been translated to English. This was nearly a decade ago and the code has still not been released. | English | Anglais | Other - Open Source | Autres – Sources ouvertes | Alt - Official Languages | Alt – Langues officielles | Innovation, prosperity & sustainable dev | Innovation, prospérité et développement durable | Open Source & Co-creation | Sources ouvertes et création conjointe | Future Consideration | ||

1052 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Make things open: it makes things better | Thanks Bruce. Clearly making things open has a cost. Decisions will need to be made about what is practical. However, if governments start with a "Share first" approach when beginning new projects then the costs will be reduced.

1054 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Meaningful dialogue | I just "voted up" your idea. A good way that the government can engage in meaningful dialogue is to provide a guarantee that submitted ideas will be stored/archived, kept live online for use by the public and social networks, retained for future use by government, forwarded to the appropriate government institution for review, addressed and responded to by the responsible Minister, or group of collaborative Ministers/Departments, to confirm if they will be working on implementing the ideas being submitted during this Open Government Consultation process.

The motivations for, and benefits of, these two recommendations are described in detail in the submissions, so I will not repeat them here. I have not been able to determine whether these two recommendations have been taken forward or responded to. I therefore suggest them for inclusion in the National Acton Plan.

By offering a free, national, geocoding web service whose responses are licensed under the Open Government License, that address can be turned into a geographic location which can be displayed on a map and subject to the full range of spatial analysis tools. For example, an Apartment Rental Finder website can take addresses from landlords, convert them to geographic locations, and display them on a map to prospective tenants looking for rentals in a given area.

Les ministères et les organismes ne font pas exprès de faire de la rétention d’information ou de mal les classer, mais quand il y a plusieurs pistes pour enregistrer ou publier l’information (Bibliothèque et Archives Canada, Canada.ca, divulgation proactive, portail du gouvernement ouvert, entre autres), il peut être compliqué de se rappeler à qui soumettre quoi, quand et comment.

D’autres ont fait remarquer que bien que la première option soit la plus efficace, c’est une histoire pour se sentir mieux, mais que c’était dur à quantifier et à démontrer (« Cela pourrait générer un profit » n’est pas la même chose que « Projette de faire contribuer X millions de dollars à l’économie ») | General Comment | Commentaire d’ordre général | Alt - Communication | Alt – Communication | General Comment | Commentaire d’ordre général | Other | Autres | Implementation Guidance | |

1102 | Event Report | Rapport d’événement | OkFestMtl | There was some discussion among attendees regarding the implementation of ‘open by default’ as a truly fundamental principle in the way government works. One attendee suggested there should be a kind of race to the top – for example, could the GC or the Gov on Mtl become ‘open by default’ first? PERSONAL INFORMATION REMOVED noted that there are no defined success metrics for ‘open by default’ – it’s an important principle, but there does not seem to be a clear end point at which a government could truly say ‘we are open by default’. Attendees stated that they themselves want to be the judge of openness, and noted that for them ‘open by default’ meant feeling that their input could be easily heard, and that they could easily and effectively communicate with individual public servants on the data they publish or work on | English | Anglais | Il y avait quelques discussions parmi les participants quant à la mise en œuvre d’un principe fondamental vraiment « ouvert par défaut » dans la manière qu’a le gouvernement de fonctionner. Un participant a suggéré que ce devrait être une course au sommet – par exemple, est-ce que le gouvernement du Canada ou le gouvernement de Montréal peuvent devenir « ouvert par défaut » en premier? Les RENSEIGNEMENTS PERSONNELS EFFACÉS ont indiqué qu’il n’y a pas de façon de mesurer le succès pour « ouvert par défaut » – c’est un principe important, mais il ne semble pas y avoir d’indicateur de résultat pour qu’un gouvernement puisse dire qu’il est vraiment « ouvert par défaut ». Les participants disent qu’ils veulent être eux-mêmes les juges de l’ouverture, et il a été noté que pour eux « ouvert par défaut » veut dire qu’ils sentent que leurs commentaires peuvent facilement être entendus, et qu’ils peuvent communiquer de façon efficace avec les fonctionnaires de façon individuelle sur les données qu’ils publient ou sur lesquelles ils travaillent. | OG Performance | Rendement du gouvernement ouvert | Other - Open Culture | Autres – Culture ouverte | Open by default | Ouvert par défaut | Culture of Openness | Culture d’ouverture | Implementation Guidance | |

Yes, this will cost more but (unlike self-serving ads, figure head governor general office, the Senate...) those dollars have a direct benefit to the taxpayer who has to pay for the change being contemplated.

1104 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | One thing per bill | Firstly, all information held by the Government of Canada and Parliament of Canada should be open by default, with certain specified limitations to protect: the personal privacy of Canadians; national security; safe disclosure intended to protect the health and safety of Canadians. Secondly, while individual Canadians have an inherent right of privacy, businesses and corporations do not. Any business or corporation wanting to do business with the Government of Canada or the Parliament of Canada should be prepared to accept openness and transparency in the expenditure of taxpayer dollars, or not bid on government contracts. Specific trade secrets may be protected, subject to the authority of the Information and Privacy Commissioner. Thirdly, Crown Corporations and other agencies, boards and commissions at the federal government level should be subject to the same openness and transparency as the Government of Canada proper, with the same limited exceptions as described. Finally, Canadian citizens, acting as private individuals, have the right to free and open access to public information. Professional journalists, registered lobbyists, agents of non-governmental organizations, and others acting on behalf of an association or group, may be asked to pay a nominal fee to defray the costs associated with information requests, provided such fee does not pose a deterrent to making such requests. | English | Anglais | Other - Open Parliament | Autres – Gouvernement ouvert | Open Dialogue & Policy | Dialogue ouvert et politique | Open by default | Ouvert par défaut | Open Parliament | Parlement ouvert | Future Consideration | ||

1106 | 5 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Open Contracting | Canada was one of the first countries to include an Open Contracting commitment in its 2014 action plan. Public works has published a pilot data set using the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS) and Treasury is working on implementation of Proactive Disclosure policy but it would be great to move toward sustainable, timely, standardized open data about this important government function. It would be great if the next NAP could commit to full implementation of the OCDS (as Crown Commercial Service in the UK has done in the new UK NAP). The plan should also focus on user engagement and innovations in civic technology to ensure that this data can be used by Canadian stakeholders. If fully and properly implemented, this means that Canada would be one of the first countries in the world providing real time, joined-up open data on its public contracting. This opens up a world of possibilities both for better civic engagement, provision of better information on opportunities to smaller business, and better government analytics for saving money and boosting public integrity. To its great credit, the City of Montreal is also publishing open contracting data. It would be great if the NAP also committed to cocreation of advanced and shareable analytics to better meet user needs, especially with helping smaller businesses win more contracts, and share better impact stories. |

Contract transparency allows citizens to monitor and provide oversight for the implementation of contracts between private firms and governments, particularly in the natural resource sector, but also in other sectors. When we speak of contract transparency, we are referring to the disclosure of the original contract in full. Provincial securities laws in Canada already require the disclosure of material contracts for mining companies, without significant concern for commercial sensitivity. In addition, the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, of which Canada is an important supporter, also includes requirements for contract disclosure. | English | Anglais | Open Spending & Procurement | Dépenses et approvisionnements ouverts | Extractives | Industries extractives | Fiscal transparency | Transparence fiscale | Other | Autres | Partial | ||

1116 | Contact Us | Contactez-nous | open government | For a government to be truly "open" and transparent then it must allow all of its citizens to have access to all of the governments business. There should not be any secret or "in camera" sessions that citizens cannot view. That is how the government is kept in check. Canadians should be able to access government spending by department and down to the pencils and paper. That also should hold true for all members of the government. And along that line there should not be any "Petty Cash" funds as all financial transactions should be able to be scrutinized. When the government commits to a contract, that contract should be reviewable by the citizens of Canada for scrutiny to ensure that tax dollars are not being wasted or misused. In today's computerized world it is now possible to do all that was mentioned previously. The government should have its own "cloud" of data centers to allow easy access to the data. My idea is that if the government is truthful and has nothing to hide then there shouldn't be any reasons to not allow the citizens of Canada to have access to what the government is doing. And in regards to being open I would like to see the government publish (through the newspapers) the agreement between US Steel and the Conservative government that has allowed US Steel to not meet the requirements laid out that allowed them to purchase the old Stelco in Hamilton/Nanticoke. An open government would provide that document/agreement without a second thought otherwise it looks like the government has something to hide. |

1117 | 12 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Open Government means Federal… | Open Government means Federal Government Job Opportunities Truly Open to All Partners: Government of Canada (GoC), President of the Treasury Board of Canada (TBS), Minister of Sports and Persons with Disabilities, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour, President of the Public Service Commission of Canada (PSC), Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC), Civil Society The new Standard on Security Screening of the Government of Canada became effective on October 20, 2014. (http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pol/doc-eng.aspx?id=28115) This Standard of the Government's new security screening policy includes, at a minimum, new mandatory credit checks and fingerprinting. The new Standard replaces the Personnel Security Standard, created in 1994. The 2016 Federal Budget has a cover entitled “Growing the middle class”. This implies that opportunities for well-remunerated jobs in both the public and private sector will be made available in the Canadian economy in the not too distant future, allowing no income or low income Canadians to access better jobs that allow them to join the middle class. However, the experiences of being denied employment and/or being terminated from employment due to credit checks/bad financial history in the private sector are now potentially becoming a practice in the public sector. The new Standard goes much further than previous policies and practices on security screening. While some employees who are in high security positions may have had to undergo security screening, this new policy applies to all employees. Employees, regardless of security status, will have to undergo fingerprinting and credit checks. This is unnecessary and goes too far. Credit checks can especially have a negative impact on members who are most vulnerable (e.g single moms, people with disabilities who have had to take long term sick leave). The policy doesn’t provide any details of what is considered “bad credit”. Another new aspect of the policy is to require employees to report any changes in financial status or even about their personal lives (e.g. divorce). Members who fall on hard times will have the added worry that their job will be in jeopardy. Throughout the working years (15-64 years of age) people with disabilities remain about twice as likely as those without disabilities to live with low income. People with disabilities are much less likely than people without to have jobs. Even where employed, people with disabilities are 1.5 times more likely than people without to live with low income. While persons/citizens with disabilities are already being subject to poverty, homelessness and social exclusion, the new Standard creates another barrier to social and professional insertion or reinsertion that is not consistent with the published statement that the “Public Service of Canada is committed to developing inclusive, barrier-free selection processes and work environments.” No Canadian citizen should, without overwhelming just cause, have to bear the burden of filing a complaint and going through a judicial or quasi-judicial process with the Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC) or file a human rights complaint under the Canadian Human Rights Act. The new Standard violates the requirements of the Privacy Act and the protections for individual privacy protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. (http://psacunion.ca/psac-challenge-new-public-service-security) It can hinder the full participation of all Canadians citizens, and Canadians with Disabilities, to life in society and the benefits of participating in the creation, maintenance and enjoyment of Canada's iconic “Peace, Order and Good Government”. The partners listed at the top of this idea proposal should create a working group to address this issue in a thorough and dedicated manner. Perhaps a review and amendments to the Standard on Security Screening, the review and change in format of Treasury Board Secretariat Personnel Screening, Consent and Authorization Form (TBS/SCT 330-23), or a combination of these two processes along with new legislative dispositions included in the long-awaited, and still non-existent, Canadians with Disabilities Act. There are tangible measures that need to be taken to ensure the financial perenity and resiliency of Canadians with Disabilities - and all Canadians for that matter- so that progress on this issue is made real with an enhanced Open Government that is transparent and accountable to all segments of the Canadian population. |

1120 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Open Government means Federal… | Hi Rick, Thanks for your comment. Quote from para 4 regarding working years (15-64 years of age) is information that was copy pasted from Public Sector Alliance of Canada website; not my own words or draft. It probably follows the typical labor market statistics about when people decide to retire and legislation regarding when OAS (Old Age Security) kicks in for those wishing to receive it, with the assumption that people will willingly retire at or around that age. I have read Dan Lyon's post regarding age discrimination in the tech/start-up sector and could not agree more that age discrimination should have no place in the labor market, regardless of sector, and that people should have the choice to decide in which sector they wish to work, and how long they wish to remain active engaged employees in any given workplace. Unfortunately, age discrimination is a strong part of insurance industry practices, government policy for programs and benefits delivery, public and private sector corporate cultures, etc. The idea I submitted covers the topic of financial discrimination becoming a very real threat in the public sector. As far as I know, there is no law or legislation with respect to financial discrimination. Getting a job in the government should not have to depend on whether you are a millionaire, made $1 dollar or $100,000 dollars in income in the previous year, or are bankrupt today or in the past. Financial discrimination is common place in the private sector (especially financial services sector) where banks want your T4's from previous years before they hire you, along with full credit checks and financial field investigations, some things that the new Standard on Security Screening for the Government of Canada is allowing the Government to increasingly implement or choose to apply in unclear, unprecise and arbitrary manners. | English | Anglais | Service Strategy | Stratégie en matière de services | Open Dialogue & Policy | Dialogue ouvert et politique | Open by default | Ouvert par défaut | Data & Civic Literacy | Données et alphabétisation civile | NA | ||

1125 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Open science | Suggestions for specific deliverables: 1. Don't reinvent the wheel - extend the tri-agency open access policy on publications to government scientists and contractors (summer 2016): http://www.science.gc.ca/default.asp?lang=En&n=F6765465-1 2. Improve on the tri-agency policy by requiring that a copy of all peer-reviewed publications be made openly accessible through a Canadian-based open access archive, even if works are published in open access journals. Rationale: (speaking as a university researcher focusing on the economics of transition to open access): it is not wise to rely on journals to provide ongoing access of any kind, never mind open access in perpetuity. Journals start, stop, merge, split, change hands and/or approaches all the time. For example, this year I found that 27 journals active on the website of the world's largest and possibly most commercial successful open access publishers, Hindawi, are no longer there this year. If Canadian researchers have published in these journals, it is not clear how anyone would access this content. 3. Research data should be covered under the open government directive with a default of open. To facilitate the effectiveness of research funded by Canadians, government scientists (and contractors) should be instructed to actively cooperate with, and advocate for, international data-sharing initiatives, aligned with Canadian priorities. I think it is timely to commit to sharing of environmental data globally to track compliance with goals set out in Paris last year and to accelerate change towards a clean energy economy. The mapping of the human genome in 13 years showed us what we can do when we work together. 4. Researchers funded by the government should be actively engaged with the public at all phases of the research. Every government scientist or group of scientists should be encouraged to adopt their own approach to open research such as open notebook science, research blogs, creating educational videos for YouTube, twitter accounts, citizen science projects. Specific deliverables: a) open communication and engagement directive for government scientists - suggested timeline fall 2016; b) 1 - 3 citizen science pilot projects - suggested timeline 2017-2018. | English | Anglais | Open Science | Science ouverte | Alt - Process & Tools | Alt – Processus et outils | Innovation, prosperity & sustainable dev | Innovation, prospérité et développement durable | Other | Autres | Implementation Guidance | ||

1166 | 39 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Postal Codes | It is time for Canada Post to release Postal Codes as open data sets under the Open Government Licence. Other jurisdictions have come to learn that access to Postal Code data is essential in creating a more open government. For example, the UK, Norway, Japan, the U.S., and Rwanda all release their geocoded Postal Codes. http://index.okfn.org/dataset/postcodes/ Meanwhile, Canada ranks 40th in the World on this issue. I believe this should be a priority for the next Open Government Action Plan. |

1167 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Postal Codes | Great idea, The Postal Code Database is the most voted dataset on Canada's Suggested Datasets page: http://open.canada.ca/en/suggested-datasets There is a good discussion there on users' needs. I would also like to draw attention to a petition that was started very recently: https://www.change.org/p/canada-post-president-deepak-chopra-canada-post... I don't anticipate Canada Post will voluntarily or proactively publish this data, considering it is defending the copyright that it claims in this data: http://geocoder.ca/?sued=1 Canada Post also has no obligation to the Treasury Board Secretariat. However, according to the Canada Post Corporations Act, Canada Post does have an obligation to the Minister responsible for Canada Post Corporation, the Honourable Judy M. Foote: "the Corporation shall comply with such directives as the Minister may give to it." To move the conversation forward, and in consideration of Canada Post's financial interests in not releasing this data, I would recommend that the Minister request a report from Canada Post estimating the revenue loss from releasing this data. This report should be made public. Thus informed, the Minister and the public can evaluate whether the social and economic benefits of releasing this data exceed the revenue losses. In the UK, Nigel Shadbolt describes some social and economic benefits: https://theodi.org/blog/cornerstone-open-data-postcode-address-file I recommend following the links from the post, in particular the submission from the Open Data User Group describing international experiences: https://data.gov.uk/library/open-data-user-group-postcode-ownership-inte... To be specific about what data to release, I recommend that Canada Post release its Postal Code Address Data (PCAD). In 2012, Canada Post sent me a quote of $50,600 per year for commercial use of this data. This price tag suppresses use of this data for social and economic benefit. | English | Anglais | Other - Postal Codes | Autres – Codes postaux | Alt - Specific Data | Alt – Données propres | Innovation, prosperity & sustainable dev | Innovation, prospérité et développement durable | Postal Code Data | Données sur les codes postaux | Future Consideration | ||

And just last week in our budget, we reinforced our commitment to open and transparent government with specific investments, including:
The key information is this: $11.5 million for open government activities...I really wonder where all this money will go??? Is it to hire more government employees to work on open government projects or to establish “program funding” or “channels for funding” for private citizens to engage in open government activities, such as channelling money to the The Canadian Open Government Civil Society Network for those who join their network as a non-profit corporation or social innovation business??? |

1187 | Contact Us | Contactez-nous | Rights and Over-the-Air (OTA) Television | As an adjunct to my previous email, it occurred to me that a person who owns his own home has more fundamental rights than a person who owns his own condo. A homeowner can install or have installed for him an outdoor TV antenna to access those free over-the-air television signals that have existed in Canada since 1952 and are the first form of television in this country. The condo owner does not enjoy this privilege however so does that make him a second class citizen? This would apply to apartment building residents as well which means these two groups of people in particular are being "denied" their fundamental right to "freedom of choice". A person can choose their gas station, grocery store, drug store,bank,barber,hair salon etc. but when it comes to television services, most people have their hands tied. Pay TV came about decades ago offering more TV channels than what were available with an antenna at the time. In 2011 over-the-air broadcast television went digital and with that came sub-channels, more free TV channels available with an antenna. In Palo Alto California the population of 66,624 people have access to 139 "free" OTA TV channels. Pay TV not required which means money normally spent or wasted depending on your point of view on Pay TV can go towards the essentials of life.This technology is being held up and with TV networks aside from the CBC owned and operated by Pay TV, its easy to see why. |

Unfortunately, animosity between the prior government & the development sector compounded with a decade of cuts to core funding has has left a NGO sector that isn't capable of taking this additional task. The government should support capacity building within Canada to ensure that the NGO community can effectively participate in this measure of transparency. |

With respect to Goal 13, Climate Action, the World Resources Institute has prepared an issue brief [3]. I note that the Government of Canada, through IDRC, has already engaged with the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data [4]. However, more work can be done within Canada in support of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. As reference for anyone wishing to contribute to this proposal and how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be achieved within Canada, the SDGs are:

This constructed myth was started by William F. Buckley to protect both large business and Christianity from liberalism. This myth is now so deeply ingrained in many people's minds they react with visceral hate to tax funded anything. Buckley set up today's Amerca's white 45 year old men to commit. They feel that hopeless. They irrationally support a narcissist for President.

In the very early weeks of your mandate you choose to remove requirements for native bands to report how their federal government granted funds are managed. They refuse to account but yet want more. If they are deserving of additional funding, fine, as long as they are publicly accountable. Same goes for the unions. Every person paying union dues has the right to see how those funds are managed. Can't believe removing this necessary transparency was such a priority for your government. |

1197 | 30 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Using the Data: Mandatory Payment… | In Canada’s 2014-2016 Action Plan, the Government of Canada committed to “introduce legislation on mandatory reporting standards for the extractive sector that require the reporting of certain payments made to governments related to the commercial development of oil, gas and mining.” This legislation, the Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act, is now in force, and the first company reports will be made public in late fall, 2016. It is now critical that the Government of Canada take steps to fulfill the intent of the commitment, which stated: “Mandatory reporting standards will increase Canadians' awareness about how extractive companies' revenues are spent, which supports transparency and social responsibility and helps to combat corruption.” While companies will be disclosing more information, it is far from assured that Canadians will be more aware of this disclosure and that company disclosure can fulfill the OGP grans challenges 1, 2, 3 & 5. To implement this commitment, the Government of Canada needs to take several important steps to facilitate and promote the use of mandatory payments reports by citizens. Main Objective: Increase the accessibility and use of extractive sector payment reports disclosed in accordance the Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act. OGP Challenge Addressed: Grand challenges 3 & 5 Verifiable and measurable milestones to fulfill the commitment:

1199 | Idea comment | Commentaire d’idée | Using the Data: Mandatory Payment… | The passage of ESTMA in December 2014 marked a significant step forward in the global effort to fight corruption. But one significant weakness remains: the law is silent on the format in which the information is to be structured, or where it is to be published. This could result in the chaotic release of data on hundreds of company websites in a number of incompatible formats. Disclosure of granular information about oil, gas and mining payments in an open and machine-readable format and in a centralized location will enable end-users in the more than 100 countries where Canadian extractive companies operate to quickly and easily access and analyze the data on billions of dollars of payments made to governments every year, and will continue Canada’s strong leadership role in promoting and supporting the open data movement. Without this important step, the stated goal of Canada’s oil, gas and mining transparency law “to deter and detect corruption” will be significantly undermined. Citizens and journalists will find it more difficult to use the information, and errors and discrepancies will be more difficult to detect, undermining data quality. We strongly support the recommendations submitted by PWYP-Canada and call on the Government of Canada to fulfil these and unlock the enormous potential of Canada’s landmark transparency law by ensuring that this information is disclosed in machine readable formats in a publicly searchable centralized registry. | English | Anglais | Extractives | Industries extractives | Civil Society | Société civile | Innovation, prosperity & sustainable dev | Innovation, prospérité et développement durable | Other | Autres | Implementation Guidance | ||

Any reform should put the emphasis on how government information must be released, not offer a litany of reasons/excuses for preventing it. This particular suggestion is just token reform as it allows the institution simply to cite the section of the law - how could that ever constitute a meaningful "explanation"? The civil service should not be tasked with reform of the current Act or process since it makes no sense to ask the same civil servants who have an interest in frustrating access to information to come up with reforms on how to make it work.

1206 | 7 | Suggest an idea | Suggérer une idée | Youth employment strategy open data initiative/Access to Information/smartphone app | Partners: Government of Canada (GoC), Prime Minister's Office (PMO)/Minister of Youth, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour, Minister of Sports and Persons with Disabilities, Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs, Civil Society (Youth of Canada) The 2016 Federal Budget has a section entitled “Helping Youth Obtain Valuable Work Experience”. The Government calls for a renewed Youth Employment Strategy where each year the Government invests more than $330 million in the Youth Employment Strategy to help young people gain the skills, abilities and work experience they need to find and maintain good employment. To expand employment opportunities for young Canadians, Budget 2016 proposes to invest an additional $165.4 million in the Youth Employment Strategy in 2016–17. Funding will be used to: create new green jobs for youth, to help young Canadians gain valuable work experience, learn about our natural environment and contribute to economic growth in environmental sectors; increase the number of youth who access the Skills Link program, which helps young Canadians—including Indigenous and disabled youth—make a more successful transition to the workforce; and increase job opportunities for young Canadians in the heritage sector, under the Young Canada Works program. This funding would be in addition to the $339 million already announced for the Canada Summer Jobs program, to be delivered over three years, starting in 2016–17. Fortunately, the budget section on this topic is not entitled “Helping Employers Obtain Valuable Young Workers (and pay them a lower wage)”. However, that is precisely the case and modus operandi with the current Youth Employment Strategy. In all programs offered under this strategy (Career Focus, Skills Link, Young Canada Works or Canada Summer Jobs), it is the Employer who must initiate actions to receive funding and recruit candidates under these programs. The Employer does not have a responsibility to declare or publish that they are hiring Canadian Youth under these programs, meanwhile the latter are receiving substantial wage subsidies. This is precisely why Canadian Youth can be happy to notice that the budget calls for an “increase in the number of youth who access the Skills Link program”, because the real need is for Canadian Youth to be able to access the programs in a tangible way, such as providing a full database and registry (Open Data Initiative/Access to Information Web Portal) of all entities receiving financing under these Programs so that Canadian Youth can be proactive in their search for gainful employment and directly address past or current contribution recipients in their quest to obtain valuable work experience. There is currently no or very little access to information (only Canada Summer Jobs) for Canadian Youth with respect to the Youth Employment Strategy. The Canada Summer Jobs program helps employers create summer job opportunities for students. The program provides funding to not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to create summer job opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30 years who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in the next school year. The program is part of the Government’s Youth Employment Strategy. The Canada Summer Jobs program should be expanded to all Canadian Youth, not just those “who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in the next school year”. This discriminates against Canadian Youth who are studying part -time due to disabilities or participation in high-level performance sports, or simply not in school anymore for lack of adequate financing/funds (banks who will not extend credit/loans, lack of family financial resources, lack of savings or work experience to have funds to attend school). Furthermore, the age restrictions for defining Canadian Youth on current programs should be extended to 35 years of age in accordance with a variety of public and private sector programs/activities who use that same definition (up to and including 35 years of age). The Youth Employment Strategy needs to reflect the fact that Canadian Youth are often in school much longer than previous generations, remain in school for longer due to an inability to find work, or choose to return to school at a later date in life due to inability to find gainful employment in their initial field of education (structural unemployment). Many of them return to live at home with their parents due to an inability to find substantial long-term well-remunerated employment. The Youth Employment Strategy should reflect the current economic and social dynamics of the 21st century; it is no longer the 1960's or 1970's when there was an abundance of work opportunities before and upon graduation from an educational/vocational institution. Unfortunately, for too many Canadians, rising costs have made post-secondary education less affordable. The jobs available to Canadian Youth a scarcer and fewer are able to save for their education, and those who receive financial assistance often find it difficult to repay their loans. As Canada’s population ages, its prosperity will increasingly depend on young Canadians getting the education and training they need to prepare for the jobs of today and tomorrow. Now more than ever, it is important that post-secondary education remains affordable and accessible, and that young Canadians have access to meaningful work at the beginning of their careers. The Prime Minister's Youth Council should have Open Data elements in order to ensure maximization of purpose, scope and impact of this Council. The Youth Service initiative which has a substantial provision of $105 million over five years should have Open Data elements integrated as Budget 2016 indicates that “further details will be announced in the coming months”. The Expert Panel on Youth Employment which will report back to the Minister of Youth and the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour should have Open Data elements implemented in an urgent fashion as the Panel is expected to deliver findings by December 2016 and should deliver real enhancements, which will need to be highlighted, to the Youth Employment Strategy. It goes without saying that Canadian Youth are probably the most connected generation of Canadian citizenry and real enhancements could include highly accessible Open platforms such as an App for smartphones for Canadian Youth to access all relevant information and data on all initiatives in the Youth Employment Strategy, in addition to www.youth.gc.ca Increasing Co-op Placements and Strengthening Work Integrated Learning should have Open Data elements integrated to ensure that Canadian Youth, those currently studying or not, can have access to the maximum amount of information possible to access relevant and useful opportunities to gain valuable work experience. Furthermore, it should make it illegal/penalize/highly discourage Employers who abuse the worth/value of Canadian Youth by frequently having recourse to “unpaid/unremunerated” internships/placements/learning projects. If it is not strictly defined as volunteering, it should be “a just pay for just work |

Lack of a central repository for publishing companies’ data Commitment 17: Implement the Extractives Sector Transparency Measures Act If the Extractives Sector Transparency Measures Act is that same as it was before then… this whole section is a gong show. Again, no EITI standard in this. Worse, the act doesn’t require extractive industries to publish payments to foreign governments in a common standard (so it will be a nightmare to do analysis across companies or industry wide). Nor does it require that companies submit their information to a central repository, so aggregating the data about the industry will be nigh high impossible (you’ll have to search across hundreds of websites). So this recommendation: “Establish processes for reporting entities to publish their reports and create means for the public to access the reports” is fairly infuriating as it a terrible non-solution to a problem in the legislation. Maybe the legislation has been fixed. But I don’t think so. |

1309 | Meeting Report | Compte rendu | Draft Plan - OD Working Group | Commitment # 17 (Implement the Extractives Sector Transparency Measures Act): As this is already passed legislation, the milestones do not seem particularly ambitious. As ESTMA does not currently specify a data reporting format, it is not much of a milestone to “establish processes for reporting entities to publish reports…". This feels like a missed opportunity for the OGP action plan, which should be more in line with Canada’s existing commitments to open data. The Government has set a strong lead on this in the shape of the Directive on Open Government, which aims to maximize the "release of open data (structured data)… under an open and unrestrictive licence”. It is recommended that the Government commit to developing a requirement for company reporting in a clearly specified open data format/template. Additionally, the second milestone rightly “seek[s] alignment of ESTMA with other jurisdictions”. However, this could be tightened by stating that the Government will require reporting that is compatible with similar requirements in other jurisdictions such as the UK, in order to reduce transaction costs on companies reporting in multiple jurisdictions and to support data use across these boundaries. |
English | Anglais | Engagement no 17 (mettre en application la Loi sur les mesures de transparence dans le secteur extractif [LMTSE]) : Puisque c’est une loi déjà adoptée, les jalons ne semblent pas particulièrement ambitieux. Puisque la LMTSE ne fournit actuellement pas de format particulier pour l’établissement de rapports de données, cela ne constitue pas un jalon en tant que tel d’« établir des processus pour les entités d’établissement de rapports afin de publier des rapports… » On dirait une occasion manquée pour le Plan d’action pour un gouvernement ouvert qui devrait plus s'harmoniser avec les engagements existants du Canada pour les données ouvertes. Le gouvernement a été particulièrement ferme sur la conception de la Directive sur le gouvernement ouvert, qui vise à maximiser la « publication des données ouvertes (données structurées)… en vertu d’une licence ouverte et non contraignante ». Il est recommandé que le gouvernement s’engage à développer une exigence pour l’établissement de rapports de compagnie dans un format de données ou un modèle qui soit clairement précisé comme étant pour des données ouvertes. De plus, le deuxième jalon semble « chercher à s'harmoniser avec la LMTSE avec d’autres administrations ». Cependant, cela pourrait se renforcer en déclarant que le gouvernement va exiger l’établissement de rapports qui sont compatibles avec des exigences similaires dans d’autres administrations comme le Royaume-Uni, pour pouvoir réduire le coût des transactions sur l’établissement de rapports dans plusieurs administrations et pour appuyer l’utilisation des données dans toutes ces frontières. |

1310 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Draft Plan | Commitment 17: Implement the Extractives Sector Transparency Measures Act In my submission, “Next Steps for the Mandatory Reporting on Extractives” [7], I described the broad support for a centralized database of the mandatory reports and for a machine-readable reporting template. The commitment should include those details. ESTMA will only help “deter and detect corruption” – its purpose [8] – if it is easy to analyze those reports, and that means providing machine-readable, aggregated data. Otherwise, what we get is something like the web before hotel booking websites. Instead of a list of rooms that you can easily sort and filter by availability, location, price and amenities, you have to visit each hotel’s website, figure out its booking system, and manually build your own spreadsheet with the results to sort and filter. The same will be true of the reports and the data they contain unless they are aggregated and machine-readable |

1312 | Other SocMed | Autres MedSoc | Draft plan - blog post | Data Standards There is lots of focus on data standards. Data standards matter because it is hard to use data — particularly across government, or from different governments and organizations — if they have different standards. Imagine trying if every airline used a different standard to their tickets, so to book a trip involving more than one airline would be impossible as their computers wouldn’t be able to share information with one another, or you. That challenging scenario is what government looks like today. So finding standards can help make government more legible. So seeing efforts like piloting the Open Contracting Data Standard in Commitment 9, getting provincial and local governments to harmonize data with the feds in Commitment 16 and “Support Openness and Transparency Initiatives around the World” in Commitment Commitment 18 are nice… … and it also makes it glaring when it is not there. Commitment 17 — Implement the Extractives Sector Transparency Measures Act — is still silent about implementing the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative standard and so feels inconsistent with the other commitments. |

1313 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Thank you for the reminder to send my comments regarding the Draft Plan on Open Government. I was so upset when I read the draft following the announcement, that I did not respond that day. I found it difficult, first of all, to find Indigenous people anywhere in the draft, and then, to find it in the taxation section, only! Really? We have the UN Declaration, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Nation to Nation relationships, RCAP... and still, the only mention is in taxation, and then I'm sure there is an underlying purpose (make sure the Indians are paying all the taxes they should) to the benefits statement. I met with Treasury Board staff a couple of weeks ago and discussed the need for an internal strategy for Indigenous Open Government... I presented last year when Treasury Board (Canada) hosted the international Open Data Forum. We had a panel of Indigenous leaders from various countries talking about Indigenous Data Sovereignty... and Canada's Draft Plan mentions none of this. Nothing of trying to address what the Auditor General has said about Treasury Board's INAC (and in general, First Nations) spending authorities being difficult to account for under the current program environment. I presented to Treasury Board's Blue Ribbon Panel on Grants and Contributions in 2006, I believe it was, and here we are ten years later... I had at least hoped to see a place marker in the plan stating a commitment to work with Indigenous Nations in addressing the challenges in fulfilling the responsibilities of Open Governments... I am open to discussing this further, but more critically, am awaiting the final draft, which I assume will be edited to include a more significant goal in relation to working with Indigenous Governments to build capacity to achieve Open Government standards, as agreed upon. Again, thank you for the reminder. |

1323 | Other SocMed | Autres MedSoc | Draft Plan | Development of standards and practices in support of data commercialization worse recommendation in this vein is “establish a national network of open data users within industry to collaborate on the development of standards and practices in support of data commercialization.” There is nothing that will hold these people together. People don’t come together to create open data standards, they come together to solve a problem. So don’t congregate open data users — they have nothing in common — this is like congregating “readers.” They may all read, but their expertise will span a wide variety of interests. Bring people together around a problem and then get focused on the data that will help them solve it. To get really tangible, on Friday the Prime Minister had a round table with local housing experts in Vancouver. One outcome of that meeting might have been the Prime Minister stating, “this is a big priority, I’m going to task someone with finding all the data the federal government has that is relevant to this area so that all involved have the most up to date and relevant information we can provide to improve all our analyses.” Now maybe the feds have no interesting data on this topic. Maybe they do. Maybe this is one of the PMOs top 6 priorities, maybe it isn’t. Regardless, the government should pick 3–8 policy areas they care deeply about and focus sharing data and information on those. Not to the exclusion of others, but to provide some focus. Both to public servants internally, so they can focus their efforts, and to the public. That way, experts, the public and anyone can, if they are able, grab the data to help contribute to the public discourse on the topic. |

While I’m broadly in favour of such goals… they often risk leading nowhere. I’d much rather see specific problems the government wants to focus its resources on open data or sharing scientific materials on. When no focus is defined and the goal is to just “make things transparent” what tends to get made transparent is what’s easy, not what’s important. So several commitments, like numbers 3, 13, 14, 15, essentially say “we are going to put more data sets or more information on our portals.” I’m not opposed to this… but I’m not sure it will build support and alignment because doing that won’t be shaped to help people solve today’s problems. |

1332 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Draft Plan | The “Open by Default” commitment is laudable but tempered by Section 12 of the Copyright Act (i.e., crown copyright) and related licensing language that restricts the use of government works. Furthermore, inconsistent interpretation of both Section 12 and existing licences by federal departments unnecessarily complicates the use of government works. Please follow the lead of other countries by making government works accessible and open for reuse and redistribution (in the public domain, without restriction) at the point of creation. The Copyright Act is scheduled for review in 2017 and rewording Section 12 of the Copyright Act would help realize many of the commitments in this draft.

1335 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Draft Plan | I'd echo comments from others - that there needs to be more emphasis on standardizing the format of the data itself. It's sort of buried in the open data charter link (princple #4) that is provided: http://opendatacharter.net/principles/ - but this is the key to the data being open. If people can't work with it through standard data types, well known APIs or open source software it's not so helpful and at some point may be more expensive than simply collecting new data another way. Also what is Canada's ongoing role in developing and improving these standards perpetually? I see in the document here that we are participating in the developing of the open data charter, but what does this mean? Will there be professorships and scholarships dedicated to supporting this? Will it be hired public servants developing this? Are we involved in the policy side, the technical side, both, other aspects? This document looks like great progress, keep up the great work! |

1353 | Other SocMed | Autres MedSoc | Draft plan - blog post | There is one place where the plan comes close to taking this approach, in Commitment 22: Engage Canadians to Improve Key Canada Revenue Agency Services. It talks a lot about public consultations to engage on charitable giving, tax data, and improving access to benefits. This section identifies some relatively specific problem the government wants to solve. If the government said it was going to disclose all data it could around these problems and work with stakeholders to help develop new research and analysis… then they would have nailed it. Approaches like those suggested above might result in new and innovative policy solutions from both traditional and non-traditional sources. But equally important, such an approach to a “transparency” effort will have more weight from Ministers and the PMO behind it, rather than just the OGP plan. It might also show governments how transparency — while always a source of challenges— is also a tool that can help advance their agenda by promoting conversations and providing feedback. Above all it would create some models, initially well supported politically, that could then be scaled to other areas. |

1354 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Draft Plan | As a long time public servant I am very excited about the move to open up to Citizens. Commitment 20, in particular, strikes me as an essential ingredient to develop policies that are both accepted by the stakeholders and effective. Unfortunately, although this direction is being stressed nationally, the process whereby these over-arching policies/guidelines are being implemented within Departments follows the old process. Essentially guidance or internal policy is developed without any consultation with those who need to change the way they are doing things! In fact draft versions of implementation plans etc. are often under wraps until they get approved by TBS. Definitely no opportunity to comment nor even awareness of what is coming until a memo arrives stating... You must do 'x' this way now. Lot's of talk about changing the culture to being less risk adverse and more consultative and even a bit of a stick (must demonstrate a % of experimentation). It would be great if more proactive disclosure of successes and/or failures occurred. Silos (between Departments, Branches and even Divisions) exist. I recognize that changing work practices takes time, yet information remains power within many departments. The hierarchical structure and approval process ensures that the pace of this change will remain painfully slow. For those of us who actively use the internal GCpedia and GCConnex systems there is lots of opportunity to engage, not a lot of opportunity for our 'brilliant' ideas to be incorporated into documents in development. Unfortunately, we may not know what is planned until after something is approved for release. I would like to see lots of kudos given to those departments who pilot Commitment 20 internally, and track and report their experiences using similar measures as are put in place nationally under OGAP3. |

1355 | Courriel | Draft Plan | The Plan is shaping up very nicely! Great job! On the Enabling Citizens, I think it would be great to not just enable engagement on the topic of open government, but also enabling citizens to engage with government more broadly, therefore, making government more open and receptive more broadly. For example, if research and analysis was done on the topic of homelessness from a civil society perspective using open data, FOIA data and other civil society collected data, and with those data new and innovative insight was generated, where would that civil society share that evidence-informed research and how could that civil society organization work with government to design policy in order to reduce and end homelessness? That is not an open government issue, this requires the opening of government to receive this research, and develop a mechanism for civil society to be engaged in the policy design process. We have this formally with Environmental and Social Impact Assessments, but that is project based. Is there a government/civil society unit? How can citizens & civil society groups work with Government? Can a channel be build with all government departments and agencies? |

This is achieved each year with the publication of hundreds of articles in the popular press that largely go unnoticed by the average Canadian. For researchers in Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, typical venues for these articles include The Western Producer, Grain News, Top Crop Manager, Beef in BC, Canadian Cattlemen and others. Similar networks of magazines and websites target policy, industry, trade and other sectors. These popular press articles could be readily disseminated to a global audience with adoption of social network aggregation software. With this software, these stories would be compiled from different sources onto one platform available for use from a computer or smart phone. Flipboard, for example, does exactly this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipboard). Among the benefits: i) use of the application and accessed stories could be readily tracked, ii) the software already exists, iii) the stories already are written in plain language, iv) release of the information would be timely, v) anyone with a computer or smart phone could access the content, and vi) it would avoid some of the restrictions posed by federal restrictions and bureaucracy, on the timely posting of information on government websites. Just a thought… |

1361 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Draft Plan | Develop an open repository of research data behind government-funded scientific publications Re: Commitment #14 (Open Science) The emphasis on increased access to the results of publicly funded research does not go far enough. Developing and implementing an "open access policy for scientific research funded through grants and contributions" only addresses publications, but there is a need for an open repository of the research data that creates the publications. As it stands, funding agencies like SSHRC and NSERC depend on grantees to disseminate their own research, but other countries, such as the UK (http://www.data-archive.ac.uk/) have been more proactive in establishing a collective repository for research and data. I recommend Open Data Canada's mandate be extended so that it can become a more powerful tool for innovation, a one-stop shop for both government *and* government-funded scientific and humanities research data and publications. |

The public and academia can't request access to these data if they don't even know that these data exist. |

1364 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Draft Plan | in response to Andrew Ross's comment on Commitment 14 - open science. Open Science – sharing information of the research process as well as results. Email. Good points. I am a researcher at a large Canadian University, and have been moving toward open science practices in my own lab and helping others do the same. In addition to focusing on availability of data, it is also important to focus on openly sharing information of the research process (i.e., how the results were obtained) during the research process. For example, pre-registering hypotheses when feasible, making study materials/procedures available, making data analytic plans available, and sharing the results of research regardless of study outcomes (i.e., not only publishing statistically significant results). I want to point attention toward the excellent resources available here: https://osf.io/jtcu9/. I was in attendance at this meeting (the meeting referred to in the link) where 100 leading scholars of Open Science in Psychology and related disciplines worked together in 9 breakout sessions to find solutions to many issues facing all academics in the transition to open science practices (e.g., improving teaching and training, improving research in individual labs, what journals and societies can do). A lot more is to come from this group in the near future. |

I am an advocate of "open science", and practice open science in my own lab (as seen here https://osf.io/sa9im/#!). I am particularly interested in commitment 14 of the draft plan, and endorse the "taking [of] bold steps to make government-funded science open and transparent to Canadians". I am active in the academic community seeking to find open science solutions, including addressing the incentive structure currently in place that traditionally has not not value open science practices (though this is now changing). I encourage your group to review the excellent resources available here: https://osf.io/jtcu9/.

Overall I think this plan is very timely given the appearance of what is called "science 2.0" in the world of research (http://pps.sagepub.com/content/10/6/886.full.pdf+html). I look forward to seeing the development of this plan and how it will be implemented, as well as to other opportunities to provide feedback. Best. |

1366 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Kudos to your team for a thoughtful approach to increasing government openness and transparency. This approach will help prevent governments from cherry-picking data that supports their ideology (or suppressing data that does not support their ideology). As a supporter of Evidence for Democracy, I am very pleased to see the government seriously considering many of the concerns that scientists and the public raised about the treatment of science in Canada during the last election. It's great to see the government taking the lead on these issues. Regarding point 14, I strongly support open-access publishing and the move to open science, but part of the problem is that federal tri-council grants are often so underfunded that prudent researchers often decide not to spend their very limited funds on open access publication charges. While policies could mandate only open access publication, this would restrict the range of possible forums and put more pressure on already overcommitted operating grant budgets. One solution would be to increase grant levels sufficiently to cover these costs. Another solution would be to provide a source of independent funds to cover open access charges for federally funded researchers. The tri-council granting agencies can also play a role in incentivizing open science that aims to reward good-quality science (rather than just measuring quantity and impact factors). Great care must also be taken not to make accountability requirements overly burdensome for all involved. While accountability is a noble goal, too much of us turns everyone into accountants and detracts from getting things done. |

Thus, there is no such thing as “open” vs. “closed” science. There is just science, and something else. Maybe it’s called alchemy or bullshit. I don’t know.

Unlike previous plans, one reads a real intent to shift culture and make changes that are permanent and sustainable. Executing on this is exceedingly difficult. Changing culture is both hard to achieve and measure. And implementing reforms that are difficult or impossible to reverse is no cake walk either, but the document suggests the intent is there. I hope we can all find ways to support that. |

A government engaged with its citizens is sharply focused on their needs. A government that is transparent is driven to achieve better results and held accountable for decisions.” Yes, but be somewhat flexible for government employees that are learning this new digital world, mistakes happen, as long as we learn from our mistakes, we become stronger and more valued employees and citizens. Lots of training, work with Google, Microsoft, Apple,.... I don’t want fear or stress to be a part of the working environment. There needs to be an open dialogue vertical and horizontal communication, among all levels of employees and ministries. Not an “us versus them” paradigm, we all work for each other. A minister can’t be afraid to ask for help from a lower level manager, and a receptionist can’t be afraid to double check something.

1373 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Draft Plan | I do like the commitments that are being made, but I also really like the principle based approach which the GDS in the UK has adopted, in particular the last point "10) Make things open: it makes things better" - https://www.gov.uk/design-principles#tenth It is written in an informal, human readable approach which doesn't come naturally to many in government, but the message is clear. Share early & often with as many people inside & outside the organization as possible. Open Government is essentially about understanding abundance, rather than understanding scarcity. Government has a key role to spearhead innovation by finding new ways to share. This draft document demonstrates much of what is possible with an open by default approach. What underlies the Government Digital Service's Design Principles is in many ways summarized by the last line: "Much of what we’re doing is only possible because of open-source code and the generosity of the web design community. We should pay that back." I don't think that it is critical in this document to be able to roll out a commitment point and road-map for implementation. I would like to see that and it is long over-due, however, I do think a simple paragraph to acknowledge the role of open-source in open government would be easily achievable. To not even have an aspiration mention of open-source adoption just sucks a lot of the wind out of an initiative that has so much potential. |

1374 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Draft Plan | I am also encouraged by the call for open dialog. The consultation efforts thus far have been a great effort to build collaboration experiment with co-creation involving the public and other stakeholders. I just wanted to note that GCpedia is based on the open-source tool MediaWiki and GCConnex is based on the open-source tool Elgg. I don't know that the GoC has contributed to either of these projects, but it has been an encouraging experiment in use of GPL code that goes back at least as far as 2008. There are those who have been experimenting with and advocating for open-source tools and open standards within government for a very long time. |

1375 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Thanks for this. It is useful to see a bit of the bigger picture. Unfortunately, the GoC has been looking at this, but not giving it much attention for a great many years. I responded in 2009 to an RFI for No Charge Licensed Software. Other open-source firms did too. There was no clear improvement in government policy based on this feedback. Most of the G7 is already way ahead on this issue. The UK & USA are really leading the pack, but Canada stands out as a modern country that just hasn't seemed to understand the advantages of collaboration. Governments can and should continue to use both software where the intellectual property is either owned by a corporation, or that which is explicitly open. However, any government interested in an open agenda, saving money and encouraging innovation really needs to give a priority to open-source tools and approaches. This doesn't mean that if the right proprietary tool comes in that it isn't worth trading off some freedoms, but it should be a conscious choice. The example I provided by the USA CIO is attempting to achieve a balance between commercial & open-source tools - https://sourcecode.cio.gov/ After almost 8 years working to modernize government, they have come a long ways in understanding and embracing the potential of the internet and value of open-source. Yes, this website uses open-source as do applications like https://buyandsell.gc.ca which OpenConcept was involved in setting up. It also uses Drupal, and of course the Web Experience Toolkit which is one of the only instances of the GoC contributing back. This venture into GitHub and with open-source licensing even got the Government of Canada featured in Wired magazine: http://www.wired.com/2013/01/wet/ Government departments have been using open-source software forever, particularly the science/research focused ones. Everyone is using open-source, that isn't the point. The point is to make it the preferred option, because it will encourage open thinking, reduce costs, and allow innovation. If you have two equal solutions, one of which does not come with a vendor lock-in can we not clearly state that the preference of the GoC will be open by default? I do think that there are those in government who will need help in understanding open thinking and will need time to make the adjustments. Government procurement programs especially. There is a lot of knowledge in the GoC about use of open-source. It just hasn’t filtered up to senior management. It is not premature to make a commitment in this document to acknowledge that the GoC will be investigating best practices and will be proposing some mile-stones for adopting open-source software. |

1377 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Draft Plan | The word "software" appears not once in this draft document. Yet a citizen's thoughtful recommendation in response the invitation to "Help shape Canada’s Action Plan on Open Government 2016–18" was to "Make code available for reuse across GoC & release to the public as Open Source Software". [1] That recommendation received a "thumbs-up" from 80 other people. Interestingly, I see that the website http://open.canada.ca is running on a free/libre/open source software stack: Linux, Apache/2.2.15, Drupal, PHP.[2] It seems so sad that, in the "Draft New Plan on Open Government" the team of authors disown Canada's most distinguished information theorist, Marshall McLuhan, a mere half century after he profoundly encouraged us all to pay more attention to the information medium, than to the content it carries.[3] That medium includes the physical systems, and I notice another citizen's recommendation was for "strategies, policies and tools to support and foster the pro-active release of government funded inventions openly and for free". That suggestion received "thumbs-up" from 36 other people. [4] But the "Draft New Plan" overlooks it. I therefore invite the President of Treasury Board, who is leading this "Open Government" initiative, to host a panel discussion in 2017, a year that is not only the 150th Anniversary of Canada (1867), but also will be the 50th Anniversary of the publication of McLuhan's "The Medium Is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects" (1967)[5], as well as the 25th Anniversary of the official formation date of the Internet Society (1992)[6]. The proposed topic for debate: "Be it resolved that when Canada's Open Government website runs on a free/libre/open source stack, McLuhan matters!"

A reluctance to acknowledge these principles signals some adherence to the traditional mindset of governments, namely, everything is secret unless there is a good reason for it not to be so. An open-source mentality takes that into reversal (in good McLuhan tetrad fashion): Everything should be open, shareable, and available for modification and improvement by the community at large (how to appropriately engage that community of citizens is a different, not to mention exceedingly complicated matter), unless there is a good reason for it not to be so. | English | Anglais | Other - Open Source | Autres – Sources ouvertes | Other - Open Culture | Autres – Culture ouverte | Innovation, prosperity & sustainable dev | Innovation, prospérité et développement durable | Open Source & Co-creation | Sources ouvertes et création conjointe | Future Consideration | ||

1386 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Draft Plan | Joseph and I are co-founders of a group called GOSLING which stands for "Getting Open Source Logic INto Government". The first draft had that as "Linux", and as a student of Lawrence Lessig's "Code: and other laws of cyberspace" I wanted us to think about and promote more of the Logic behind Open Source (Including: that software is a set of rules that govern our lives, that those rules should be transparent in a democratic society, and that these rules can be adopted and built upon upon by others without friction). I wanted us all to recognise that software choice is required but not sufficient, as well as understanding that the logic behind Open Source (open by default) applies to far more than software. Democratic governments already openly collaborate across jurisdictions on public policy, and legal precedent in many jurisdictions are consulted by courts interpreting laws, My primary suggestion to the Canadian government is that similar or even greater level of transparency and collaboration should apply to government interactions with software code as with legal code. As an earlier stage of the migration toward an open government I don't think the government needs to be as concerned about actively engaging citizens in this collaboration as much as removing the current barriers to citizens engaging amongst each other. There is value in greater government transparency (legal code, software code, other policy, and data used to make decisions) even if the flow of information is only one way from government to citizens. A future government can then make that flow of information bidirectional. |

1389 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Draft Plan | There’s a lot of positive measures in this plan. Clearly, there’s been a lot of careful thought and consideration and I applaud this. There are a few things that I am concerned about though. Broadly, it’s about the way access != openness. It’s not enough to simply put materials online, even if they have all sorts of linked open data goodness. There are two issues here.
So my initial thought is this: without training and education (or funds to encourage same), open data becomes a public resource that only the private few can exploit successfully. Which makes things like the http://programminghistorian.org and the emergence of digital humanities programs at the undergraduate and graduate level at our universities all the more important, if the digital divide (and the riches being on the right side of it brings) is to be narrowed, if ‘open by default’ is to be for the common good. |

1394 | Other SocMed | Autres MedSoc | Draft plan - blog post | Architecture This is pretty nerdy… but there are several points in the plan where it talks about “a single online window” or “single, common search tool.” This is a real grey area. There are times when a single access point is truly transformative… it creates a user experience that is intuitive and easy. And then there are times when a single online window is a Yahoo! portal when what you really want is to just go to google and do your search. The point to this work is the assumption that the main problem to access is that things can’t be found. So far, however, I’d say that’s an assumption, I’d prefer the government test that assumption before making it a plan. Why Because a LOT of resources can be expended creating “single online windows.” I mean, if all these recommendations are just about creating common schemas that allow multiple data sources to be accessed by a single search tool then… good? (I mean please provide the schema and API as well so others can create their own search engines). But if this involves merging databases and doing lots of backend work… ugh, we are in for a heap of pain. And if we are in for a heap of pain… it better be because we are solving a real need, not an imaginary one. |

1401 | Detailed Submission | Soumission détaillée | Draft Plan | Regarding Commitment 1: There remains some confusion in the Liberal Government's various announcements of initiatives around reform of the Access to Information Act. Minimally we seek clarification of the timelines for the total review called for by Information Commissioner Suzanne Legault in her through report to Parliament of March 2015, "Striking the Right Balance: Recommendations to Modernize the Access to Information Act." In that report the Commissioner built on the recommendations of her predecessors and on a number of previous parliamentary studies in her convincing demonstration of the inadequacies of the 1983 legislation which has only been amended in minor and generally limiting ways in the subsequent 33 years. While we applaud the Liberal Government's pledge to proceed to such reform, we note that Minister Brison has suggested that this may not occur until 2018. This is inadequate as has been pointed out by both the Globe and the Star in editorials of 4/4/16 and 20/6/16 respectively. Similarly, the initial recommendations of the Common's Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics contain some positive initiatives, but there are also items of concern, such as the clause to allow the refusal of requests deemed vexatious or frivolous. | English | Anglais | ATI | Accès à l’information | Alt - Process & Tools | Alt – Processus et outils | Open by default | Ouvert par défaut | Access & Preservation | Accès et conservation | Implementation Guidance | ||

1403 | Detailed Submission | Soumission détaillée | Draft Plan | Commitment 20 plays an important role in ensuring Canadian citizens’ voices are heard and considered. However, this commitment lacks specific details for Canadian citizens, domestic civil society organizations, private and public stakeholders, and other interest groups to actively engage in and provide feedback on international trade agreements. For instance, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement negotiations has been heavily criticized by a broad range of organizations for taking place in private and without the input of either parliament or civil society. It is of utmost importance that if Canada is to enter into wide-ranging trade agreements, that the negotiations are conducted as openly as possible. This is especially true due to the areas that modern, comprehensive trade agreements touch upon. For instance, it has been pointed out that the TPP contains several clauses that undermine domestic laws. An example is the provision to make e-commerce easier contradicts with British Columbia and Nova Scotia laws that aim to keep personal information and health data confidential.1 Other provisions such as copyright changes and possibility for foreign takeovers of Canadian businesses have also been highlighted as being problematic to Canadians, civil society and private interests. These concerns demonstrate the importance of ensuring transparency applies not only to domestic policies, but to international ones as well. The general public and civil society organizations should be able to make suggestions and give input on agreements that have such far reaching impact. More importantly, the empowerment of civil societies would allow them to better support the Canadian government, and by extension, our interests. We therefore suggest that this point be amended to include the government of Canada committing to openness and transparency in the negotiation of trade agreements at each step of the discussions, including ensuring that parliament has access to the necessary information to make an informed decision on whether such trade agreements are in the public interest, and that individual Canadians are consulted on the provisions of these agreements from the earliest stages – and especially before being signed. |

The government has indicated its commitment to work “with international partners in government, civil society, private sector, and academia to support the principles of openness and transparency around the world.”2 We recognize that there is an engagement in point 19 to consult with domestic civil society organizations regarding Open Government. However, we feel that the approach in section 21 lacks necessary input and suggestions from domestic civil society, private, and public sector stakeholders. There are various domestic organizations that engage in international policy analysis, and could play an important role in supporting Canadian interests at the international stage, alongside government representatives. Furthermore, these domestic groups are often advocacies for specific communities and organizations that may be in the minority or in marginalized positions. Including their policy suggestions and input at the international level will encompass clauses that support and extend the rights of these marginalized groups both domestically and internationally. | English | Anglais | Promote OG Globally | Promouvoir le gouvernement ouvert de façon générale | Civil Society | Société civile | Innovation, prosperity & sustainable dev | Innovation, prospérité et développement durable | Multilateral Collaboration | Collaboration multilatérale | Implementation Guidance | ||

1406 | Courriel | Draft Plan - Detailed Submission | Although the Plan specifically discusses Open Science in Commitment 14, what it is referring to is in fact open scientific data, not open science. The scientific process encompasses an ecosystem where scientists must be able to communicate, with each other and the public, as well as be free from political interest to engage in defensible research. For science to be open, publically sharing endproduct data and results is not enough. Rather, scientific integrity must be guaranteed throughout all aspects of research works. |

1409 | Courriel | Draft Plan - Detailed Submission | It is important to restate that ‘open science’ and ‘open scientific data’ are not the same thing.

We applaud the initial efforts to improve access to these results, but there are some unresolved challenges inherent to the nature of scientific data. |

1410 | Courriel | Draft Plan - Detailed Submission | It will be important, moving forward, for the federal government to define scope. At present, exactly what falls under the Science & Technology mandate within the federal government is not described, nor how far requirements apply down chains of collaboration. The language regarding open access policies and data management is vague. Definitions of what constitutes research data are lacking, and whether only end product data will be published, or versions from throughout the research process. Though these requirements may seem like technicalities, it is essential to set the scope firmly at this early time to ensure transparency, avoid waste of resources, and improve harmonization efforts across departments and institutions. Additionally, requirements for type and timeliness of data will be different for researchers and the general public. The current portal is not set up to adequately address the needs of both user groups. |

1411 | Courriel | Draft Plan - Detailed Submission | For the government catalog all scientific data in general, a formal data repository would be needed. Such an undertaking requires vast digital infrastructure, especially if it is to be robust (regularly updated, indicators of peer review for materials, accompanied by relevant metadata, etc.). It is unclear exactly who would administer this, or how. If it is to fall under the purview of Library and Archives Canada (LAC), it should be recognized that LAC’s capacity to undertake such an initiative has been hampered by limited resources over recent years. Adequate funding and expert staff would be essential for the success of any such initiative, particularly given that such an archive would need reference librarians to document and curate the collection. Attention is also required to LAC’s core function of preserving invaluable published and unpublished materials of cultural and historical significance, many of which have been lost in closures over recent years. In the face of recent cutbacks, it is essential to reassert LAC’s broad mandate to collect, catalogue, and store such materials, and to ensure sufficient funding and staff. Notably, resources and infrastructure must be sufficient to preserve both digital and physical holdings, and this challenge is not addressed in the draft plan. Finally, it is unclear if there will be legal mechanisms put in place to protect archives. If such mechanisms are absent, any investment in data archiving could be simply discarded by a future government. |

1412 | Courriel | Draft Plan - Detailed Submission | One example of where such public cataloging is being attempted is in federal geospatial data. This realm is particularly challenging due to the enormous size of the datasets involved. This is addressed in part through “Commitment 13: Increase the Availability and Usability of Geospatial Data”, led by Natural Resources Canada. The implementation of harmonized geospatial standards is an excellent initiative, but the current system (Open Maps) provides maps only, not downloadable or interactive data. All GIS practitioners and project planners will contend that the data must be downloadable (or,at the very least, a tool is available to overlay their own data onto the map) for use in research or project planning. Although promising, Open Maps lacks the infrastructure needed to be truly useful. |

1413 | Courriel | Draft Plan - Detailed Submission | Implementing a formal digital repository for all federal department research data, both geospatial and otherwise, will be costly, particularly if it includes academic research funded publically. Although efforts are being made within the federal government to ensure data operability (open file formats, avoiding proprietary software, etc.), these lack the necessary specificity. Will there be legal mechanisms in place to ensure timely release of data? Will there measures to capture file versions for transparency? Who will be responsible for gathering all the data from each relevant institution, as well as managing, archiving, and cataloging it? |

1414 | Courriel | Draft Plan - Detailed Submission | It may be best to instead look to successful global efforts already afoot in the scientific community, rather than siloing federal efforts and introducing a competing system. This may prove a way to meet government responsibilities for openness, maintain best practices, as well as reduce costs. For example, many journals are open access, and some require data to be included as appendices. Even more powerful are existing international networks for sharing research data, such as the G lobal Biodiversity Information Facility, G enBank, the O cean Tracking Network and many, many others. Open submission of data to public archives is a requirement of participation for some global networks (e.g. T otal Carbon Column Observing Network, N etwork for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change). The federal government has compiled a very s parse list, and although the Canadian Association of Research Libraries has a b it more information, it does not seem that serious thought has been given to coordinating with existing international data repositories. There are already many successful international models and initiatives for sharing geospatial data (e.g. DataBasin), and it may be more prudent for the government to collaborate with existing open platforms rather than trying to develop an original one, at enormous expense, whose functionality is insufficient for practitioner use. |

1415 | Courriel | Draft Plan - Detailed Submission | Combining efforts internationally would not only drastically reduce the cost of inhouse archiving, but also add a valuable armslength component. By directing funding for data archiving and openness to international peer reviewed efforts, scientific data would be publicly available, meeting international standards, and future governments could not revoke access. It should be noted that federal scientific departments already archive data internally, so copies would still be available should particular international repositories close. However, focusing open data into international networks would enhance not only public access and researcher collaboration, but also make a bold statement regarding scientific integrity and international cooperation. This goes beyond purely open data towards open science. |

1416 | Courriel | Draft Plan - Detailed Submission | A true commitment to open science must acknowledge scientific integrity and open communication at all stages of the scientific process. Freedom of speech for scientists has been a longstanding concern in Canada, with widely documented muzzling, political interference, and crippling program cuts occurring under the previous Conservative government. Although it has been suggested that scientists may be more able to speak to the public under the federal Liberal government, this has not yet been formalized or guaranteed. Policies need to be put in place to ensure openness is enshrined in perpetuity. Final right of review for scientists on communications arising from their work is particularly crucial to avoid misrepresentation and ensure transparency. |

1417 | Courriel | Draft Plan - Detailed Submission | Scientific openness and integrity also requires freedom from political interference in research questions and capabilities. The reimplementation of the longform census is a boon to evidencebased decisionmaking, but much more must be done to entrench a culture that values the free collection of evidence and uses it in government decisionmaking. Oversight from the Treasury Board Secretariat on the Open Government policies allows for some independence, but it is presently unclear if the Chief Science Officer will enjoy the same freedom or have the necessary resourcing to ensure implementation. It is also unknown how the Chief Science Officer position will be positioned with regard to Parliament and federal departments, and if it can be supported through subsequent governments, to maintain openness through the decades to come. |

1419 | Courriel | Draft Plan - letter addressed to TBS President Scott Brison | Comment 1. The risks of conflating Open Government and Access to Information In the overarching design of the proposal, it is absolutely crucial that you not conflate the right of individuals to access unpublished information with the government’s responsibility to publish information. The quintessential feature of the Access to Information Act is that it articulates a right of Canadians to access unpublished records held by government institutions. This individual right is categorically different than the responsibility of government to publish information on a proactive basis because it allows Canadians to access information that the government might not otherwise think is a priority to publish. Many stakeholders will recommend that you use the Access to Information Act as an instrument to publish specific classes of information they think is important, such as financial or environmental information, but that are ultimately unrelated to exercising the right of accessing unpublished information. You should reject such recommendations. The Access to Information Act is not an instrument to turn ministries into publishers; it is an instrument to help individuals access unpublished information. Grafting proactive disclosure requirements onto the Access to Information Act is like trying to graft an orange tree branch onto an apple tree. Other jurisdictions are starting to discover the problems of putting proactive disclosure laws in FOI laws. In 2009, the Information Commissioner of the United Kingdom, found that 25% of public authorities did not publish information as required while many others did so in only in a fragment way1. More recently, the Scottish Information Commissioner found that less than half of the public authorities they monitored had actually published classes of information specified in a model publication scheme2. Grafting proactive disclosure requirements onto the Access to Information Act is misguided because it will divert resources from the infrastructure needed to protect individuals’ right to access unpublished information. |

1420 | Courriel | Draft Plan - letter addressed to TBS President Scott Brison | Solution 1. Establish a “Publication of Government Information Act” To avoid this problem, I recommend you propose a statute called the “Publication of Government Information Act.” This Act would be rooted in the principle that the government has a responsibility to inform the public. The Act would define a general framework for all government institutions to publish information on a proactive basis. Precedent for this type of function is found with the Queen’s Printer, which has the power to “exercise the printing and publishing functions for the Government of Canada that are assigned to the Queen’s Printer by law or by the Minister”3. To ensure Ministries are living up to their responsibilities, this new Act should also establish a new Officer of Parliament to provide oversight. Having two acts – the Publication of Government Information Act and the Access to Information Act – would allow the Government of Canada to cultivate two different sources of government information in Canadian society. The former would allow the government to develop enterprise-wide instruments to publish information, while the latter would usher in the benefits to Canadian society that comes from individuals deciding what unpublished information they want to access. |

1421 | Courriel | Draft Plan - letter addressed to TBS President Scott Brison | Comment 2. “Vexatious requests” are a red herring: The real problem is two-fold The idea that the government should invest resources to address vexatious and frivolous requests is misguided. The Information Commissioner has provided no evidence that the pattern of “vexatious or frivolous requests” is a significant problem. In fact, in her March 2015 report she says they are rare: It is the Commissioner’s experience that in rare instances some requesters make requests that are frivolous, vexatious or otherwise abusive The government should not squander legislative resources on rare instances. If the intent of addressing these rare instances of frivolous and vexatious requests is to ensure resources are not being wasted, then there are two better places to put your attention. |

1422 | Courriel | Draft Plan - letter addressed to TBS President Scott Brison | Problem 2.1 Telling Canadians about the information government holds A problem with the Access to Information Act is that Canadians do not know what information government has in the first place. As a result, ATI users often guess and seek a broad range of materials that produce a high volume of records. To try to address this problem, section 5(1)(a) and (b) of the Act requires governments to publish:
This information appears in the bulletin InfoSource. The quality of the description government institution publishes, however, needs to be improved. Currently, (b) is little more than a brief list of document types, which makes it difficult for users to identify what specific documents address their specific needs. |

1423 | Courriel | Draft Plan - letter addressed to TBS President Scott Brison | Solution 2.1 Update section 5 to share better descriptive metadata I recommend improving section 5(1)(a) by requiring government agencies to publish organizational charts and employee job descriptions. This information provides important context and details about how information flows within an organization. Section 5(1)(b) can be improved by requiring the government to publish more specific description of the information they hold. This includes: (a) classification plans, (b) record retention and disposition authorities, and (c) other meta-datasets. A group to consult would be the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat’s Government Online Metadata Working Group, which has develop records management application profiles, metadata standards, and GCDOCs. They would know what existing sources of metadata could be published through an improved section 5(1)(b). |

1424 | Courriel | Draft Plan - letter addressed to TBS President Scott Brison | Problem 2.2 The problem of “vexatious secrecy” As the Information Commissioner says, “vexatious requests” are a rare problem. The vexing problem that is far more widespread is culture of secrecy within the government. In 2015-2016, the Information Commissioner closed 1,281 complaints. Of these, three times as many complaints were well founded vs. not well founded (595 vs. 195)5. Additional evidence of the problem of vexatious and pervasive secrecy can be found in a report published in September 2008 by the Information Commissioner. The report was based on an investigation of government procedures for handling access requests: "We found that institutions that label access requests as “sensitive,” “of interest” or “amber light,” or with some other marker indicating special handling, tend to delay requests for unacceptably long periods. We also found that the media are not the only ones to encounter such delays. Requests from parliamentarians, organizations, academics and lawyers are also delayed6 |

1425 | Courriel | Draft Plan - letter addressed to TBS President Scott Brison | Solution 2.2 Make the ATI handling process transparent To reduce this problem of a a persistent culture of unproductive secrecy, the Access to Information Act should be revised to require government institutions to send the applicant a final disposition letter that contains a list of the names and titles of all government employees involved in all aspects of handling the request.

1437 | Detailed Submission | Soumission détaillée | Draft Plan | PWYP-Canada would like to commend the Government of Canada for developing a draft action plan, entitled “Canada’s New Plan on Open Government,” that is aspirational and which recognizes the need to engage citizens and focus not just on open data, but on accountability. In particular, PWYP-Canada is pleased to see a commitment to train 500 open data leaders around the world. Unfortunately, that ambition did not translate into a strong commitment related to extractive sector data. PWYP-Canada recommends that this commitment be strengthened to ensure companies report in open data format and to work with a multi-stakeholder group to produce a report aggregating and communicating the data.. In relation to beneficial ownership transparency, PWYP-Canada was pleased to see a commitment that aims to improve the accessibility of public information about Canadian companies, which is a critical step in efforts to increase the transparency of beneficial ownership in Canada. However, this commitment is not situated within the context of anti-corruption, money laundering and tax evasion, nor does seek to increase the amount of public information about companies.

1438 | Other online | Autres en ligne | Draft Plan - detailed submission | Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act Commitment 17, wherein the Government of Canada commits to implement the Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act does not meet the requirements of an OGP commitment, as set forth in the ‘Government Point of Contact Manual. In accordance with that manual and the principles of the Open Government Partnership, commitments must be: Ambitious, Relevant, and SMART.1 As it stands, commitment 17 only commits to implement an Act that it has already been passed, implemented (through implementation tools), and put into force. In order, for a commitment to be ambitious, relevant and SMART, it must go beyond what has already been done. Commitment 17 does not seek to do that. PWYP-Canada, in its previous submission, provided some very compelling examples of specific commitments the government could take to ensure that the ESTMA data is readily accessible and actively used by Canadians and citizens around the world. |

1440 | Other online | Autres en ligne | Draft Plan - detailed submission | It is particularly important that Canada commit to require that all companies submit their reports in open, machine readable format following a standard template. NRCAN has developed an excel template in consultation with industry and civil society, however, this template is provided as one option in conjunction with a PDF template. With regulations in the UK, and a newly released SEC final rule both requiring that reports be filed in open data format, the Canadian government has ample reason to phase out the PDF template and require reporting in open data format. Furthermore, the Canadian government has established itself as a strong proponent of open data: hosting the Open Data Summit last year, chairing International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) this year, and implementing the Directive on Open Government. Moreover, openness and transparency alongside the principle of ’open by default’ is emphasized in every ministerial mandate letter, and the ministerial mandate letter to the President of the Treasury Board calls upon that office to accelerate and expand open data initiatives. | English | Anglais | Extractives | Industries extractives | Alt - Quality & Standards | Alt – Qualité et normes | Innovation, prosperity & sustainable dev | Innovation, prospérité et développement durable | Open Data | Données ouvertes | Implementation Guidance | ||
1441 | Other online | Autres en ligne | Draft Plan - detailed submission | Requiring that reports filed in compliance with ESTMA are made public in open data format and that the government takes steps to communicate that data to stakeholders is not only closely aligned with the leadership role the government has established on open data, but it also serves to support other commitments in the draft actions plan, including “Commitment 18: Support Openness and Transparency Initiatives around the World.” Here, the government commits to train 500 open data leaders in government and civil society in developing countries. In order to train open data leaders, they need access to reliable sources of relevant data. ESTMA can be one of these sources of data, if the government commits to move towards a requirement that all reports be disclosed in open data format, provides access to all the reports through a single, central repository, and provides high-level analysis of the data as a point of entry. Commitment 17 must be revised to reflect the Government of Canada’s commitment to strive for open, accessible data that is widely utilized by government and civil society in Canada and abroad. |

1442 | Other online | Autres en ligne | Draft Plan - detailed submission | Beneficial Ownership PWYP-Canada welcomes Commitment 12: Improve Public Information on Canadian Corporations. Creating a centralized registry of corporate information will greatly improve citizen access to corporate information. However, this commitment represents a missed opportunity and would be better situated within the appropriate domestic and international context; it equally can be made significantly more ambitious. |

1443 | Other online | Autres en ligne | Draft Plan - detailed submission | Context Commitment 12 should be situated within the context of the global movement to fight corruption, money-laundering, tax evasion and tax fraud by increasing the transparency of the legal and beneficial owners of companies and trusts. Canada has recognized the importance of improving the transparency of legal and beneficial owners of companies at the G20 and the G7. The latest G7 Action to Fight Corruption recognized the importance of corporate ownership transparency in the fight against corruption and stated, “(e)nhancing transparency of beneficial ownership information to protect the integrity of the global financial system, and to prevent misuse of companies and legal arrangements including trusts for illicit purposes such as corruption, tax evasion and money-laundering.” Furthermore, a risk assessment undertaken by the Government of Canada identified Canadian corporations and express trusts as having ‘very high vulnerability’ to money laundering and terrorist financing because of the “ability of these entities to be used to conceal beneficial ownership, therefore facilitating the disguise and conversion of illicit proceeds.” |

1444 | Other online | Autres en ligne | Draft Plan - detailed submission | The transparency of the beneficial ownership of corporations and trusts is critical to ensure that Canada is active in the fight against domestic and international crime, but can also be instrumental in efforts to identify and investigate tax avoidance and fraud and recoup additional revenues. Combatting tax avoidance and tax fraud is a top priority for the Canada Revenue Agency, as established by the mandate letter sent to the Minister of National Revenue which commits the government to “(i)nvest additional resources to help the CRA crack down on tax evaders and work with international partners to adopt strategies to combat tax avoidance.” Any efforts to improve access to corporate which will contribute to making Canadian corporations more transparent are best situated within broader efforts to combat tax evasion and fraud to fight money laundering. | English | Anglais | Open Corporates | Ministères ouverts | CRA Services | Services de l’Agence du revenu du Canada | Fiscal transparency | Transparence fiscale | Other | Autres | Future Consideration | ||
1445 | Other online | Autres en ligne | Draft Plan - detailed submission | Ambition The milestones within commitment 12 can be made more ambitious and by establishing a clear commitment that Canada intends to create a public, centralized registry of the beneficial ownership of companies and trusts. In its current form, commitment 12 will not improve public information on Canadian companies; it will only improve the accessibility of that information. This is a missed opportunity. Canada has the chance to demonstrate that they are not stuck in neutral on beneficial ownership transparency, but instead are ready to take action. A commitment to establish a publicly accessible, centralized registry of beneficial ownership information will have a multitude of benefits, some of which are identified in our submission to the idea-generating stage of the consultation. It should be noted that non-public means to share beneficial ownership information are not sufficient: private agreements to share information prevent public accountability by citizens and the media; they are slow and laborious; they do not necessarily include all law enforcement agencies, such as securities commissions; and they disadvantage poor countries whom often lack the institutional capacity to make formal requests and/or have not signed the appropriate agreements to share information. This latter point is important to Canada’s efforts on the global stage. | English | Anglais | Open Corporates | Ministères ouverts | Alt - Governance & Licence | Alt – Gouvernance et permission | Fiscal transparency | Transparence fiscale | Other | Autres | Future Consideration | ||
1446 | Other online | Autres en ligne | Draft Plan - detailed submission | PWYP-Canada recommends that the Government of Canada expand commitment 12 to include a milestone which commits the government to work towards new requirements that will see companies and trusts publicly disclose legal and beneficial ownership information. This commitment will go a long ways towards fulfilling Canada’s G7 and G20 commitments, and towards establishing Canada’s global leadership on tax avoidance and fraud. Furthermore it will signal to companies and individuals that Canada is not a good place to hide their money. | English | Anglais | Open Corporates | Ministères ouverts | Alt - Governance & Licence | Alt – Gouvernance et permission | Fiscal transparency | Transparence fiscale | Other | Autres | Future Consideration | ||

1448 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Commitment 3: Expand and Improve open data The focus on increasing the visibility, quality and timeliness of open data is incredibly important. In addition, tools like the ‘Chat with an Expert’ service and a common online search tool will give users context and make appropriate data easier to identify. In addition, an open data charter that encourages the private sector to open up their own data sets where they would be of public benefit is a solid step towards expanding the definition of open data, inclusive of private sector data. It is the fusion of public and private data sets where significant opportunity stands to be unlocked. |

1451 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Commitment 16: Align Open Data across Canada (Open Data Canada) We are pleased that the federal government is intent on taking a leadership position with respect to open data, which was one of the key recommendations from our roundtable. This is reflected by the plan to develop strategic partnerships with provinces and municipalities to ensure common data formats, principles and standards, as well as viewing the use or demand statistics as a mechanism to prioritize data sets. The Open Data Canada summit is an intriguing idea, and we would encourage a demand side perspective be reflected in the agenda. |

1452 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Commitment 3: Expand and Improve open data It would be useful to add a road map and timeline on the release of open data to ensure that data is released soon after it is created. In addition, a guarantee that the data will remain available would alleviate the concern companies have, that they will build a product or service around an open data set, only to have it disappear. |

1455 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Even though we laud the plan to improve the digital literacy skills within government, the plan needs to go further. Mechanisms to improve digital literacy must be developed for elementary, secondary and post-secondary curriculums.

We must find ways to help individuals acquire these skills quickly so that they can be productive as soon as possible. | English | Anglais | Other - Data & Civic Literacy | Autres – Données et alphabétisation civile | Open Government Skills | Sciences du gouvernement ouvert | Engaging Canadians & the world | Mobiliser les Canadiens et le monde | Data & Civic Literacy | Données et alphabétisation civile | Future Consideration | |||
1456 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Data needs to be released as soon as it has been created (as noted in Commitment 3) and we would recommend that milestones be created to track progress towards making open data more timely. We need to make sure that open data and open government policy in general, is developed and deployed with clear goals in mind, including economic impact. One measure of the value of open data is the companies, jobs and wealth that are created as a result of its use. |

The draft action plan specifically calls for ODX to stimulate innovation through such instruments as the Open Data 150, the incubation of data driven companies, the completion of demonstration projects and the creation of a national network. These activities are all part of a plan to position open data as a resource for the purpose of solving problems, creating new products or deploying new services, and creating an open data ecosystem where both public and private stakeholders work together to create open data driven solutions that benefit society. We must remember that the needs of the individual or groups of individuals must remain at the core of all open data activity. |

1458 | Courriel | Draft Plan | A central aspect of open government and transparency is that of making data available to all who have a legitimate interest in it. As indicated in the Policy, the government is committed to making data available in a form that is useful. There are two kinds of data – structured and unstructured. Structured data is that which is presented in a format that is capable of being consumed with conventional tools. Unstructured data, such as newspaper articles, social media content and the like is difficult to consume. Although tools are beginning to appear that enable consumption of big data, which includes unstructured data, such tools are in their early stages. The best transparency is achieved through the use of structured data. Common tools for developing structured data include XML and XBRL, among others. These open source languages involve tagging the data with metadata that makes the core data much easier to understand. They also enable the data to be easily read by other computer systems. |

1459 | Courriel | Draft Plan | In the past three years, CPA Canada has recommended to the Minister of Finance in the pre-budget consultations, that the government adopt an approach known as Standard Business Reporting (SBR). In 2014, the recommendation was endorsed by the Standing Committee on Finance. We firmly believe that adoption of SBR should be an important element of any open government policy. While there is a multi-million dollar investment at the beginning, the savings over the next several years will exceed that investment. Also, the filing requirements by the public, including businesses, will be substantially reduced. In Australia, which has adopted this approach, savings to the public have been substantial – close to a billion dollars per year since full implementation, simply by eliminating or reducing the duplication in data being collected across the government. |

1460 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Commitment 9: Enhance Openness of Information on Government Spending and Procurement “As part of the government’s new Policy on Results, mandatory departmental reporting will be re-focused on each department’s long-term mandates as well as their immediate priorities. Related data from planned and actual activities will be available on a searchable online database that will provide quick and easy access to detailed information on government spending and people management. This data will be presented in a manner which will facilitate Canadians’ analysis and broader understanding of where government resources are being invested.” The last sentence is particularly noteworthy. It calls for data being presented in a manner that will facilitate analysis and understanding. Evidence shows that structured, standardized data is most useful for these purposes. XBRL provides data that is structured on the basis of globally accepted standards, which facilitate comparison and analysis with data from other countries. Many other countries are using XBRL. |

1461 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Commitment 10: Increase Transparency of Budget Data and Economic and Fiscal Analysis “Starting with Budget 2017, make all data from Budget charts and tables available in near real time to facilitate analysis by citizens and Parliamentarians.” Budget data can also be stated in XBRL and therefore be more useful for analysis and comparison. |

1462 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Commitment 11: Increase Transparency of Grants and Contributions Funding “Provide Canadians with centralized access to standardized information on grants and contributions funding that is proactively disclosed by federal departments via a common, searchable portal on open.canada.ca: Establish a standardized, common template for federal departments to publish their data through the centralized portal” The process described in the last sentence is very much in line with what the process would look like under an SBR system. Data are collected through a common portal, converted to XBRL format, and then processed, stored and shared in that format. When data are collected from the public, it is important that XBRL be transparent to the users. This can be accomplished by involving software developers in the collection process, much as was done with e-filing of tax returns. This approach has been followed in other countries, such as Australia, the Netherlands and the UK, to mention a few. |

1463 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Commitment 12: Improve Public Information on Canadian Corporations “The federal government, Ontario, Québec, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, and British Columbia will collaborate on the development of an expandable and adaptable digital solution.” In many other countries, corporations must file information in XBRL format. A notable example is in the US where XBRL filings to the SEC are required. Similarly, in the UK, all companies must file in XBRL with Companies House. The same is happening in most other major countries. The result of this filing process is that large data banks of corporate information in XBRL format are being built up around the world, thus providing data in a common standard for global comparison and analysis. Canada should not be left out of this major trend. |

1464 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Fleshing out the Definition of "Open by Default" The goal is to make everything that can be ATIP'd already available to the public so an ATIP request doesn't need to be made. An internal concentrated, comprehensive campaign is required in the Government of Canada to implement this. For example, at the grass-root level (the most important level in this case), every document prepared (briefing notes, research papers, decks, etc.) should be made ATIP-able from the get-go. That is a version that is ATIP-able (can be ATIP'd) should be created as well. This would not take much time, especially after proper training. Analysts would then routinely perform exclusions, if required and prepare two version of the same document (one for public release (i.e. ATIP-able) and the other internal). Proper tracking would be required (e.g. a check-box for whether an ATIP-able version of a briefing note was created and attached in the docket on the routing slip would be required). A government-wide change management process will be implemented. The goal of every ATIP section in every Department should be to have less and less ATIP request due to information becoming more and more publically available. This is also the case for data. It almost always costs less to be proactive than reactive. |

1465 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Trust and Confidence among Public Servants To correctly foster an open government, charity must start at home. That is, the government must become more open internally between federal employees and with different levels of government (i.e. all P/Ts and municipalities). This will help create momentum outward to Canadians and the world at large. All GoC employees go through reliability security screening at minimum. A part of the purpose of this is to build trust and confidence between public servants internally and externally with the public. Yet, trust issues appear as evidenced by widespread incorrect implementation of the "need-to-know" principle. PWGSC indicates that Reliability security enables "...access to PROTECTED information, assets or sites on a "need-to-know" basis." Beginning at a micro-level, usually on the first day(s) of a public servant's new job, he/she is granted access to his/her teams SharePoint Site, Shared Drive or GC Docs page. All other information is deemed need-to-know and he/she has no or limited access to other non-protected information within the Directorate, Branch, Department and across the government. The question arises: Was the staffing process and subsequent security screening not sufficient to build the level of trust and confidence required? If the answer is yes, then security and/or staffing processes require changes to reach the necessary working level confidence to make non-protected information accessible to all public servants by default. Otherwise, such costly security clearance processes may not serve the entire intended purpose and become only a check in a check-list of activities to be performed rather than serving this important working level purpose of ensuring trust and confidence in integrity. |

1466 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Internal Government of Canada (GoC) Google The same way I can have access to information from around the globe at my finger-tips, I can have access to all non-protected information from across all departments, agencies, crown corporations and other levels of government at my finger-tips. The technology and capacity is present. An online internal portal with Google or the like thereof search functionality is practical. We are, in fact, all on the same team. Internal information barriers must be broken to properly and effectively break external information barriers with the rest of Canada and the world. |

1467 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Red Tape Reduction and Modernization Navigating unnecessary formal processes (e.g. Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), Information Sharing Agreements (ISAs)) to get access to non-protected information greatly hampers productivity, increases administrative burden and promotes information silos. Naturally, the less accessible information is, the less likely it will be found or even sought. This will negatively impact the capacity to make sound evidence-based decision making. This proposal suggests extending the definition of "Open by Default" to the government internally and also suggests ways and means for its implementation. That is, granting access to all non-protected information across all of government by default and implementing a user-friendly system (GoC Google) to find and interact with this information so that it is available at one's finger-tips. The proposal also suggest eliminating red tape surrounding information sharing internally. Weeks and months can be saved in a process that will end up sharing the information anyways, except with unnecessary restrictions and conditions in pace. General guidelines and conditions can be established that apply to all information sharing rather than necessitating case by case agreements and terms and conditions. The goal is to minimise exceptions, otherwise the general rules will be revisited for updates. One may raise the concern that granting such widespread access across the government may compromise content of the information through inadvertent alteration by an employee. The solution is read-only access by default with edit-access upon request. Indeed the majority of information on the web is read-only to the public, which is fine with that arrangement. Granting access to this information in a user-friendly searchable and interactive environment will promote better linkages internally and will enhance policy, research and every other function of the GoC. For example, when a policy analyst can easily search an internal online portal for all research conducted and supported by the GoC (across all departments, agencies, etc.) on an issue or different lenses of similar issues then that analyst is able to better develop evidence-based policy. Similarly, a researcher would be able to gather policy implication decks from different departments on similar issues he/she is researching. This would better align the direction of the research with current policy development and priorities and subsequently enabling the research to gain better traction as well. This increased level of information sharing will grow networks for individuals and programs. Thus further enabling a whole-of-government approach to problems being tackled. When information is more accessible, there is less chance of oversight due to insufficient due diligence on the part of a program area or Department. Creativity will be fostered as public servants will be able to examine how other directorates/branches/departments/governments are handling similar issues from different angles. This also applies to data. If we don't know what data we have, then how can we seek it out. There is a risk of making false assumptions on capacity to analyse due to lack of information. Moreover, the data must be presentable and easy to manipulate (e.g. adopting a Beyond 20/20 or similar tool from Statistics Canada and/or other organisation to interact with data). the more user-friendly the better. This way every one can become a social scientist to some degree and this will only increase capacity and agility of the organisation. Anonymizing data will increase our capacity to share it as well. Hence, this is a part of the proposal as well; transforming protected information to non-protected information for increased capacity in various areas such as research and policy. The proposal suggests a unified inter-departmental and F-P/T-M approach. This proposal will help unleash an untapped internal government information market as it helps widen the vision and perspective of all public servants. |

1471 | Courriel | Draft Plan | 1. Overall, I liked the 4 focus areas but I felt that some of the 22 commitments felt a bit 'bottom up' in that they were loosely tied to the four focus areas with no real strategic outcomes. Some of the commitments were about items that had already been delivered and so I was confused as to why they were in a forward looking 2 year plan. For example, commitment 14 refers to open access and data management policies that were delivered by the Tri-Agencies in 2015-2016. | English | Anglais | Open Science | Science ouverte | General Comment | Commentaire d’ordre général | Innovation, prosperity & sustainable dev | Innovation, prospérité et développement durable | Other | Autres | NA | |||
1472 | Courriel | Draft Plan | 2.

1473 | Courriel | Draft Plan | 3. Generally, I have a concern about how Open Government links across to information management.

1476 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Draft Plan | Regarding the Open Data Canada commitment (#16), it would be great to see an emphasis on working more closely with municipal government, since this level of government plays a huge role in residents' day-to-day life experiences.

1478 | Courriel | Draft Plan | The first is, postal code data (of course!) which is currently commercially licensed by Canada Post. http://open.canada.ca/en/suggested-datasets/postal-code-database For citizens, researchers, and IT professionals who would be able to put this data to good use - and indeed, without it, a lot of the potential benefits of other data sets are significantly reduced - it's currently not clear how to proceed in pushing for this data to be opened up. Do we appeal to our Members of Parliament? The CEO of Canada Post? Open-source and freely-reusable postal code data is essential for almost any citizen-centred use of open data. |

1479 | Courriel | Draft Plan | The second missing element relates to how the federal government approaches software, including the tools used to generate and organize open data. An emphasis on open source software would significantly transform and improve how digital services (including open data) are delivered. As a component of an open government philosophy, it seems extremely important: http://open.canada.ca/en/node/564601 Other governments (including the US, UK, and a number of others) have mandated open source requirements in software procurement or contracting. This leads to higher-quality and significantly cheaper, reusable software that avoids licensing fees. Particularly for custom software created by or contracted by the federal government, mandating open source would lead to much more successful IT projects and services. Perhaps this suggestion is out of scope for the open data consultation (and could be added to the TBS IT Strategic Plan) but it remains one of the most important "philosophical" changes that should be made to bring federal government systems and services into the 21st century. |

1480 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Engage Civil Society on Open Government (C19). The Canadian Open Government Civil Society Network’s steering committee, of which we are leading member, already provided you with written comments on this particular commitment, which I will not repeat here. As part of Open North’s continued involvement in the global open government community, and the OGP in particular, I do wish to inform you that we are currently working with the OGP Support Unit to develop a proposal on civic engagement mechanisms for the global conference in Paris in December. Our proposal will include OGP civic leaders from the UK, Australia, Nigeria, the Philippines, and maybe Mexico.

1481 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Develop open government skills across the public service (C6). With the change in government there has been new opportunities for civil society to collaborate with government on open government issues. Building on work conducted with other Federal agencies, such as IRCC, Open North is now a regular contributor to the Ottawa-based Institute on Governance Executive Leadership Program. I have had the opportunity to facilitate workshops on open governance and open data for a diverse audience of senior public servants. The exchange has been very informative in terms of understanding the challenges facing public servants and providing analysis and context from civil society’s perspective. This commitment lists the Canada School of Public Service.

Along with other international partners, we are also in the process of developing a project proposal which will include a Canadian component to support greater transparency and usability of extractive sector data. We are exploring opportunities to partner with First Nations communities and marginalized communities affected by extractive industries. Like PWYP-Canada, we were pleased to see commitment 17. However, we share their view that the commitment could be more specific and ambitious in releasing more public information about companies as well as include a stronger connection with anti-corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion. | English | Anglais | Extractives | Industries extractives | Alt - Indigenous | Alt – Autochtones | Innovation, prosperity & sustainable dev | Innovation, prospérité et développement durable | Other | Autres | Implementation Guidance | |||
1483 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Promote open government globally (C21). It’s great to see Canada’s continued commitment to support the global open government community. Having participated in the IODC in Ottawa and build a positive relationship with the open government team at TBS over the years, I simply want to underline that civil society notices and appreciates its responsive and collaborative approach. This commitment brings to mind a recent opportunity that was presented to Open North to lead a discussion at Global Affairs on the soft power of Canada’s civil society open government leaders. While the Canadian Government demonstrates its leadership globally, we could explore how to promote Canadian civil society leaders to enhance our visibility and their accomplishments. There is a need for us to strategize more effectively to increase our civic and government impact internationally. | English | Anglais | Promote OG Globally | Promouvoir le gouvernement ouvert de façon générale | Support Global Transparency | Appuyer une transparence générale | Innovation, prosperity & sustainable dev | Innovation, prospérité et développement durable | Multilateral Collaboration | Collaboration multilatérale | Future Consideration | |||

Open North is part of the Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency (GIFT), which involves the IMF, WorldBank, OpenKnowledgeFoundation, and a range of partners. The GIFT is supported by the OGP. Part of our expertise and contribution to this group relates to our expertise in online budget simulators. Our Citizen Budget simulator has been deployed by 60 municipalities across Canada and we currently work with the Parliamentary Budget Officer on fiscal analysis simulators to support MPs in their work. We would welcome an opportunity to work with the Department of Finance to not only support their efforts in increasing budget transparency but use this opportunity to build an online tool to enhance government’s capacity to collect feedback from Canadians on budget priorities for the federal government. | English | Anglais | Open Budget & Analysis | Budgets et analyses ouvertes | Alt - Process & Tools | Alt – Processus et outils | Fiscal transparency | Transparence fiscale | Other | Autres | Implementation Guidance | |||
1485 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Support Openness and Transparency Initiatives around the World (C18). As you may or may not know, there is significant momentum in Canada to enhance the capacity of the social sector to better use and share data. Major foundations and social innovation organizations are developing a concerted vision to support the social sector overcome existing barriers and build new capacities. This commitment, however, is aimed squarely at supporting developing countries. As important as this may be, there is a missed opportunity to support Canada’s social sector itself, or, perhaps, connect it with communities of practices internationally via the mechanisms and partners listed in C18. Moreover, supporting the social benefits of open government and open data in Canada would serve to balance the focus on the commercialization of open data. Having a balancing approach is consistent with the Charter and the OGP’s approach and values. | English | Anglais | Support Global Transparency | Appuyer une transparence générale | Alt - Communication | Alt – Communication | Innovation, prosperity & sustainable dev | Innovation, prospérité et développement durable | Multilateral Collaboration | Collaboration multilatérale | Implementation Guidance | |||
1486 | Courriel | Draft Plan | C16 proposes that the government hosts an Open Data Canada summit in 2017. This is probably your intention, but it’s important that this milestone be fully coordinated with the Canadian Open Data Summit 2017, which will be hosted (as announced today) in Edmonton in Spring 2017. The Open Data Canada summit was not included in the host organization’s proposal that was reviewed and selected by the proposal review group comprised of Canadian open data leaders. I believe that we can coordinate our efforts. Moreover, it would be of tremendous value if the Canadian Government became of a partner of the Canadian Open Data Summit 2017. This would need to be discussed with the host city so that the Open Data Canada summit and the Canadian Open Data summit are integrated to maximise cross-attendance. Presumably, the federal government will support officials from different levels of government to attend the Canada Open Data summit. The government could also support the attendance of a civic open data leaders for each public official that it sponsors. The civic open data leaders could participate in a day dedicated for civil society in parallel to the Open Data Canada summit. Align Open Data across Canada (Open Data Canada) (C16). Recognizing its significance for the global and national open data community, Open North quickly became a steward of the International Open Data Charter. Although our attendance at the implementation working group meetings chaired by Canada has not been consistent, we are committed to our role as steward and would welcome an opportunity to utilize our network and experience working with many governments across Canada to foster the adoption of common open data principles that are consistent with the Charter by all levels of government, as described in C16. |

1487 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Open parliament proposals. The ideation phase of the action planning process provided us with an opportunity to mobilise the open parliament community in Canada. Open North’s two proposals received significant endorsements from a range of stakeholders and ranked among the top 5 ideas submitted during that phase of the consultation. As you may know, there is momentum within the OGP to support the development of the open parliament action plans. For example, our proposal at the IODC in Madrid Open North has provided technical support to Ukrainian and Costa Rican CSOs and has partnered with ParlAmericas in developing an open parliament action planning framework. We are currently building a relationship with Speaker of the House of Commons, the Clerk's Office, and the CIO of the HoC. Although our proposals were not included in this action plan, we still intend to pursue the development of an open parliament strategy with the House of Commons. It would be helpful to know why our proposals were not selected and what follow-up will be done with parliament itself.

My experience participating in the brainstorming session was that the audience you reached did not represent the full scope of Canadian communities who could use and benefit from open data (in terms of race, gender, class and workforce sector). This would be strengthened if you evaluated who you have engaged with so far and developed a plan for increasing the scope to demographics who are missing out. | English | Anglais | Civil Society | Société civile | Alt - Process & Tools | Alt – Processus et outils | Engaging Canadians & the world | Mobiliser les Canadiens et le monde | Multilateral Collaboration | Collaboration multilatérale | Implementation Guidance | |||
1490 | Courriel | Draft Plan | The last open government plan included a section on digital literacy and this topic came up in our brainstorming session where there was widespread support for it. I am saddened to see that it does not appear in the plan anywhere. As a public librarian I can testify that the government's move to providing information predominantly online poses a serious challenge for people without access to the necessary technology or skills to find it. Based on the Independent Reporting Mechanism progress Report by Mary Francoli, accessed via the Draft Plan website, it appears that efforts in the 2014-2016 plan to improve digital literacy have a limited completion status. Public libraries are an obvious partner in the effort to improve digital literacy and access to technology for all levels of the population. I believe the goals in the last plan have not been met because the plan fails to engage with the thousands of professionals across the country who work one-on-one with citizens every day to use technology and access government information, who are nevertheless falling behind in their ability to provide support for Open Government. Rather than drop this priority from the scope of Open Government, I recommend you revise your approach to supporting digital literacy across Canada by following the model of the award-winning Data Equity for Main Street project funded by the Knight Foundation in the US, which provides training for librarians on open data. Digital literacy must be central to any "open" goal. |

1507 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Open by default and modern, easy to use... | Public engagement with government institutions can have a tangible impact on shaping an “open by default” principle. Electronic publications of information that is of value to Canadians is of paramount importance in the Information Age, fostering transparency in the state and augmenting accountability to democratic mores of openness in order to ensure proper checks and balances are enshrined in law. To this degree, proposals for action to revitalize the Access to Information Act are timely and necessary. One existing element to enhance public information access has been the development of the Open Information Portal’s repository, which allows interested parties to search the summaries of completed Access to Information (ATI) requests previously made to the Government of Canada. This permits acquisition of public records at no cost at the requester by searching through keywords, topics or fields of interest at an organizational level. Interest parties are able to observe the organization responsible for the disclosure, disposition level, year, month, number of pages and request summary. Beyond this, certain organizations allow for an informal request to be easily made through a hyperlink that proactively completes the required fields to obtain the documents in question (excluding of course the requestor’s address information). An enhancement to this system would be to not only publish the summary of an ATI request but to also disclose the documents for each request online. This would in effect do several things: (1) reduce bureaucratic practices to increase efficiency around coordinating previously completed ATI requests; (2) reduce the environmental and financial costs associated with mailing documents solely to the requester; (3) enhance organizational transparency by moving away from contemporary practices whereby a “public record” is ironically solely sent to the requester him or herself; and (4) increase efficiency of the disclosure process by allowing ATI coordinators to focus efforts on formal requests for information received, rather than those that have already been completed in the past. When it comes to the actual disclosure of records, an effort could be made to create PDF-searchable documents through optical character rendition (ORC) software, allowing users to search through troves of information based on identifiable keywords to permit indexing and to improve ease of access for the requester. At present, documents are not searchable and are sent as an image to the requester in electronic form despite the availability of said technologies in the market. Through innovation and collaboration, creating an open by default culture and modern, easy to use formats is feasible. Lets make Canada an example to other nations and lead the way in public information access. | English | Anglais | ATI | Accès à l’information | Alt - Process & Tools | Alt – Processus et outils | Open by default | Ouvert par défaut | Access & Preservation | Accès et conservation | Implementation Guidance | ||

When asked for an explanation, the then CBSA ATIP Coordinator commented that, whereas mine was the first such request in five years, it would not make sense for the CBSA to allot special resources for a reading room. My complaint to the OIC regarding refusal of access to the CBSA reading room the OIC treated as an “administrative” complaint readily dealt with on the basis of an informal undertaking by the CBSA to figure out how to deal with such requests in the future. Attached is an annotated copy of a printout which I personally obtained on September 21, 2010 of that excerpt of the electronic version of Info Source pertaining to CBSA Manuals. Attached also is a copy of the printout which I personally obtained on October 19, 2010 of the same Info Source excerpt showing that all but two of the 65 titles previously listed under the heading “manuals” had been removed in the interim. Before the CBSA had removed all but two of the manuals listed in the September 2010 online version of Info Source, I submitted the prescribed Access to Information Request Form requesting access to the electronic versions of the four manuals that I had unsuccessfully sought to view in the reading room that, it turns out, did not exist. The CBSA first gave me notice of the extension purportedly applied in accordance with paragraph 9(1)(b) of the Act as regards the processing of my request. Followed “an interim response to [my] request” effectively denying, either in part or entirely, access to the relevant CBSA manuals. My complaint with the Office of the Information Commissioner of Canada regarding denial of access to the relevant CBSA manuals I filed in November 2010. It took the OIC almost four months just to assign a file number to my complaint. For a copy of the Office of the Information Commissioner’s report in OIC file 3210-01399 I had to wait until May 5, 2015. Review proceedings in the Federal Court are still pending, due to interlocutory proceedings against the August 31, 2015 Federal Court Order obtained on behalf of the Deputy Attorney General, whereby I am required to pay $5 000.00 (five thousand dollars) in security for the CBSA’s costs as a precondition for going ahead with my review application. Based on the foregoing, policy decision makers have grounds to consider the following questions: What is the rationale for requiring the Commissioner’s report as a pre-condition for access to the Court to enforce quasi-constitutional access rights? Would it not be a better use of limited resources to limit the Information Commissioner’s role to one of educating the public (about Info Source, for example) and reporting to Parliament his or her findings on government compliance with the Access to Information Act?

1513 | DP- Web Comment | Plan d’action provisoire | Submit a detailed proposal | June 30, 2016 RE: ATI Consultation (Privacy Act) Dear Sir / Dear Madam: The attached letter to the Access to Information and Privacy Standing Committee I wrote in November 2010 to bring to the attention of Parliamentarians the effective denial, due to improper exercise of investigative powers under the Privacy Act, of quasi-constitutional access rights in relation to my passenger name record data (PNR) processed by the CBSA. I have yet to receive any response. The concerns raised in my letter, however, remain relevant to the ongoing consideration of how best to reform privacy and access to information legislation. If the resources are lacking for proper exercise of the Privacy Commissioner’s investigative powers, and the Commissioner's findings are not binding on the Court, in any event, why not provide direct access to the Court and let the Privacy Commissioner continue doing what he / she has shown to be good at doing, namely, educating the public and keeping Parliament updated on relevant privacy issues?

1514 | Courriel | Draft Plan - detailed submission | New Proposed Commitment: Track and report on the implementation of the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Firstly, I suggest you add an explicit new numbered commitment to track and report on the implementation of the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. This work should be highly visible to everyone in Canada and to the global community. Take this opportunity to create a high-level open government mechanism to support this goal. |

1515 | Courriel | Draft Plan - detailed submission | Commitment 3: Expand and Improve Open Data Prioritize data sets so they can be used in conjunction with national/provincial/municipal public engagement and consultation processes. If a national/provincial/municipal public discussion is going on, feed it open data. Use the calendar of political process in government (new policy/legislation), public events, and political debate to drive prioritization. When you develop consultation plans, make the use of open data part of the format. When you design public meetings, expand your process options to include data challenges, showcasing outputs from data users. When you release discussion questions or consultation toolkits, include new data sets. More on this to follow in the open government section. The main point is, use the already existing plans for public consultation as criteria in your prioritization and release of new data sets. If you release new open data into a discussion that people are already having, you know there is a higher chance the data will be used and the intermediaries of the data (community, journalists, etc.) can have a chance to apply it to the discussion. This approach can help to maximize impact of data release. |

1516 | Courriel | Draft Plan - detailed submission | Commitment 5: Define an Approach for Measuring Open Government Performance A government that is actively engaged in making decisions with its residents is an open government. Refer to standards and metrics to assess public engagement. If you need to select one key performance indicator, let it be the degree to which open government is enabling residents to have an impact on decision-making. If the conditions to enable this participation are not being met (well-defined scope of what is open for influence, clear definition of roles and responsibilities of all parties, cultural understanding of the value of public input in decisions, proper mechanisms to facilitate two-way discussion etc.) then open government will not be able to live up to its potential. For standards and approaches to consider, consider best practices within the public participation sector. |

1517 | Courriel | Draft Plan - detailed submission | Commitment 6: Develop Open Government Skills across the Federal Public Service Rather than try to “train” the federal public service on open data and open government, build the benefits of open government into government systems and process. When the benefits of open government reveal themselves as making it easier to work within government to deliver better service, there is more opportunity for buy-in. The way this is framed is that a new layer of training is coming. The way open government should be applied is to help support better workflows and better service outcomes. This should be a consultative approach and the public sector unions should be engaged as key stakeholders in exploring how to best apply open government approaches to the work that they are responsible for. |

1518 | Courriel | Draft Plan - detailed submission | Commitment 7: Embed Transparency Requirements in the Federal Service Strategy This is extremely exciting to see, in concept. But the definition of service delivery needs to be inclusive of services for poor people, too often it has a middle-class focus. Work on service delivery that impacts quality of life at its core, not simply getting documents renewed quickly and easily. The technological and legal overhaul required to support this work is extensive. The impact on government employees is immense. Which means, again, the public service needs to be a key and influential stakeholder in designing these updates. The description here is too brief and more insight into how and what this means would be helpful, and would in turn help support community efforts to build external support for this kind of system change. |

1519 | Courriel | Draft Plan - detailed submission | Commitment 11: Increase Transparency of Grants and Contributions Excellent. Increased understanding of how the third sector is functioning is vital. These programs support some of the most vulnerable people that live in Canada, we must be extra vigilant with oversight as to how they are working and not working, and in our understanding of how to support better service delivery in these sectors. Do not to create new onerous reporting requirements for small organizations, help make this easy for them. |

1521 | Courriel | Draft Plan - detailed submission | Commitment 20: Enable Open Dialogue and Open Policy Making Good. However, new processes and mechanisms for open dialogue and open policy making are only as good as the process design at the core of each public engagement process, on a project by project basis. As per Nicole Swerhun’s approach, critical pieces of open dialogue are related to content, including:
Online consultation is a valuable tool but if it is tied to weak process design where the factors listed above aren’t clear, its impact is minimized. Functionally speaking, there is a lot of opportunity to tie open data to public engagement processes, but it must be embedded in these processes. You do not need to invent new uses for data - bring it to the stakeholders that are already at the table being engaged in processes. Build data-centric events into public engagement process. Convene and make data stewards available as support to stakeholder communities. The more open the government can be about the challenges it faces in decision-making, the more joint ownership it can develop with Canadian residents to manage the issues. This is an opportunity to evolve political culture. |

1522 | Courriel | Draft Plan | The commitment to support international good practices could be further bolstered through a commitment to 'leading by example' in foreign aid transparency. Canada currently performs "Good" according to Publish What You Fund's Aid Transparency Index (see http://ati.publishwhatyoufund.org/donor/canada/) - the leading independent measure of global aid transparency. Canada should commit to placing in the highest category of "Very Good" by 2018. | English | Anglais | Global Transparency | Appuyer une transparence générale | OG Performance | Rendement du gouvernement ouvert | Innovation, prosperity & sustainable dev | Innovation, prospérité et développement durable | Multilateral Collaboration | Collaboration multilatérale | Implementation Guidance | |||

1525 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Commitment 1: Enhance Access to Information The Government of Canada will move forward on a first round of concrete proposals to improve the Access to Information Act, informed by the views of Parliament, the Information Commissioner, and consultations with Canadians, and will then undertake a full review of the Act by no later than 2018. MaRS response: Will this include changes to legislation that will enable citizens to directly access their own data, i.e. smart disclosure? While streamlining requests will go a long way, the goal should be to enable access by default, and not require citizens to request for access to their own data. After all citizens own their own information. Smart disclosure would empower consumers by giving them direct access to their own data in machine readable formats, support the development of preventative solutions to social and economic problem, and open new markets for personalized app-based companies. |

Please also consider indicators of utility and usability. |

1528 | Courriel | Draft Plan | Commitment 9: Enhance Openness of Information on Government Spending and Procurement The Government of Canada will increase the transparency of government spending and procurement to hold government accountable for public expenditures. MaRS response: While transparency is good, the government should also commit to procuring innovative goods and services to achieve more efficient and effective public services. Currently procurement rules and administrative/accountability burdens pose significant barriers for startups and innovators responding to procurement opportunities. As a government committed to open, procurement should also balance open and accountability. To take this one step further, consider disclosing performance of the providers, as well as providers’ assessment of their experiences working with the GC procurer. Another consideration would be to establish more programs like the Build in Canada Innovation Program (BCIP). Leverage this plan to reduce red tape, which can often be a barrier for businesses. |
