Open Government Scan of Canada
Designing and Implementing an Open Government Strategy
The Open Government Scan of Canada provides an evidence-based assessment of the governance of Canada’s efforts to foster transparency, accountability and citizen participation against key provisions of the OECD Recommendation of the Council on Open Government. The Scan seeks to support Canada in its ambition to design the country’s first holistic and integrated Open Government Strategy. It includes recommendations for strengthening the governance of Canada's open government agenda in the short, medium and long term. OECD Open Government Scans are short, tailored policy reviews that focus on specific key priorities of the commissioning government.
Setting the scene
This Chapter starts by introducing the OECD’s approach to open government and by explaining the process used for the collection of data and the elaboration of the Review’s policy recommendations. It then discusses what an Open Government Strategy represents in the Canadian context, including its key elements. The final part of this Chapter situates Canada’s open government agenda in the wider context, analysing the main achievements and identifying areas of opportunity moving ahead.
