From April 24 to October 20, 2014, the Government of Canada conducted public consultations in support of developing Canada’s Action Plan on Open Government 2014-2016.

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.

In November 2020, the Minister of Natural Resources Canada launched an inclusive engagement process to modernize Canada’s policy for the management of radioactive waste. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) officials led the six-month engagement process with the support of other federal government departments with responsibilities for the management of radioactive waste. Our goal is to inform a modernized policy that continues to reflect international practices in the area of radioactive waste management, the best available science, and the values and principles of Canadians and Indigenous Peoples. Interested individuals and groups submitted their comments and ideas about radioactive waste management in Canada, which are captured in this document.
