Open Government Portal

Canada’s first plan to the Open Government Partnership, after joining the OGP in 2011, set a direction for how Government manages and releases records and changed Canada’s open data portal, data.gc.ca, from a pilot into a permanent program. This Action Plan was structured along three streams of activity: open data, open information, and open dialogue.

This document contains a draft end-of-term self-assessment on Canada’s performance on its commitments in the Third Biennial Plan to the Open Government Partnership 2016-2018. The Government of Canada is seeking your feedback on this report between September 18, 2018 and October 1, 2018. Please comment on this page or email your feedback to open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca.

Canada’s third plan consists of 22 commitments, many of which focus on building the culture and capacity for Open Government. Canada’s approach in this Plan is structured within four priority areas: open by default; fiscal transparency; innovation, prosperity, and sustainable development; and engaging Canadians and the world.

This report describes Canada's progress on 48 indicators across 19 technical areas. It provides a unique overview of Canada's health system and current state of public health preparedness.

Canada’s fourth plan includes 10 new commitments that continue to promote openness, transparency, and accountability in the Government of Canada. It was developed in consultation with more than 10,000 Canadians from coast to coast to coast who provided their ideas and suggestions through online and in-person events.

Under the Open Government Action Plan, and related National Action Plan, the FGP is required to report on its commitments related to: supporting a user-friendly open government platform; improving the quality of open data available on open.canada.ca; and reviewing additional geospatial datasets to assess their quality.

This report summarizes the FGP’s action on meeting these commitments.

In 2020, the federal Office of the Chief Science Advisor issued the Roadmap for Open Science, which outlined core principles and 10 recommendations to guide Open Science activities in Canada. The recommendations call for a phased and incremental adoption of Open Science approaches, which apply to all federally funded scientific and research outputs. Since a number of recommendations require direct action by federal science-based departments and agencies, science departments were asked to develop a responsive action plan articulating specific commitments and goals that respond to the Roadmap’s recommendations. This document outlines the NRC’s commitments and actions.

This dataset consolidates quarterly progress for Canada’s 2018-2020 National Action Plan on Open Government

From October 2017 to April 2018, the Government of Canada conducted public consultations to develop Canada’s 4th Plan on Open Government (2018-2020). These datasets contain the comments, questions and ideas received, as well as the coding added to conduct the qualitative analysis. Private personal identifiers have been removed from the data. There are three sets of data: one entitled “Compilation” which contains the bulk of the actual comments, the second entitled “Individual Feedback” contains feedback received from participants on the engagement process and the third “Event Table” provides details on the events used to collect the data.
