About Government of Canada
In 2011, Canada joined government leaders and civil society advocates from around the world to create the Open Government Partnership. The goal is for governments to become more transparent, accountable and responsive to their citizens to improve the quality of governance, as well as the quality of services that citizens receive. Canada’s own Open Government initiative is committed to giving Canadians open access to government data and promoting meaningful and honest dialogue between citizens and government.
