Evidence of progress:

TBS met with the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS) to discuss the development of a targeted learning series on open data. CSPS is supportive of the initiative and expressed interest in moving forward collaboratively. However, both organizations may be facing capacity constraints that could affect timelines and delivery.
