Élaborer le quatrième Plan du Canada pour un gouvernement ouvert 2018-2020

First off, it is fantastic to be able to see and comment on the 4th Plan on Open Government. This collaboration and transparency is refreshing.

It was interesting to find limited to no mention of blockchain and distributed ledger technology.

With a heightened importance of data collection from IOT and acting upon that data from AI systems, there is little in the way of preventing the garbage in-garbage out phenomena. Essentially, there is no gatekeeper to ensure that the data collected is valid.

Blockchain provides a solution to this problem where consensus is used to determine the validity and accuracy of data collected with a tamper proof audit trail.

This value, coupled with its ability to promote cross-jurisdictional collaboration make it an essential technology to include in any strategic roadmap.

As someone who has been following Canada's OG progress since 2014 - the key issue that appears is the lack of continuity between each plan - how does the 2014-2016 plan translate to the 2016-2018 and then onto the 2018-2020. Where is the vision? Where are the common themes? In reporting back, sometimes GC reports against the OG plans from 2014-2016 and sometimes its from 2016-2018.

In addition, the mid-session report clearly referred to the need for findability- the open government portal needed to make it easier to find content. There is no context provided but a loose collection of random datasets and documentation not related to Gov's mandate. Surely - information on portal should be directly relatable to the Gov's mandate, and even to 'top tasks'. However the key performance measure seems to have been quantity, rather than quality. The result is that the site is one of 'open washing' and there does not appear to be anything in the 2018-2020 plan to address this.

Elections are an essential part of a healthy democracy. The Canadian election system needs to be changed to better reflect today's realities and make room for true people representatives. The current government had promised to change the election system, to make it more democratic. We are still waiting for this to happen.

Good to see this. I hope it opens this heretofore untouchable subject and exposes the damage done by almost all aspects of neoliberalism, certainly public services. Universities have had to beg for money from the private sector after the feds severely cut funds and the likes of Goldcorp has wormed its way into higher education. Health services have suffered equally and questionable corporate money is influencing such as curriculum and hospital facilities. Governments have aggressively withheld our tax money for our social services for the past 25 years without ever telling us of their intentions or the tenets they were practicing: deregulation and privatization, while rerouting these funds to big business until now big business owns government...and we let them do it to us. Had any politician of any stripe ever said out loud that they were a practicing neoliberalist they would never have been elected because we are and have always intended to be a welfare state. No one ever asked us if we wanted to radically change to a non-democractic system, they lied by omission and just did it, and we let politicians and big business have their way with us. So the more this is talked about, written about, broadcast, and exposed, the better.

How much Indigenous input or perspective is involved in regards to designing, implementing and evaluating policies in Canada?
Indigenous people are the original inhabitants of Canada. It is crucial for their input and perspectives to be included. This would be a great way to begin promoting and fostering reconciliation as past policies were designed to control and dampen the goals and aspirations of Indigenous peoples.

In my experience the CRA part of the government is anything but open. I have searched for several hours today for someone to ask about my tax payment. In April I paid the full amount, but CRA has not indicated that they have received it. I have not one visible avenue to use to contact CRA. It is a well hidden secret. From another office in the Canadian government I get a response filled with telephone numbers. Telephone calls involve hours of empty time waiting.
Good luck in your venture to create open government. I would say that communication obtuseness is common in must big private business as well today.
My hours long search has

GOV.IS FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE US PEOPLE.WE HAVE ALL
RESPONSIBLETIES .

It was truly surprising to me to go into the Open Data web portal and discover how many of the datasets provided are actually historical data - many from prior to 1979. How is this then open, and transparent government if the information provided is not current?

I want to know why government cut public transit tax credit.We all know that one person who use transit to get to work there and back every day they do not make much money and bus pus is not cheap. In alberta it cost $100 per month.It is a big expense in the budget. They cant afford the car yet the government cut that much needed service, and for what?Wen I call tax office I was told that there was no money in the budget for it. So for what we have money. Social services getting depleted, waiting lines in medical services getting longer poverty and homelessness showing in the places where before was prosperity.I think we should give our prime minister and his cabinet minimum wage to live on, and see how they manage.People are tired to have less and less money in the pocket.

As a D7 country that is chairing the OGP, it is clear that we need to make real advancements in adopting both open standards & open source. How can Canada be a serious contender in collaborating with other members of the D7 when there is still so little understanding of open source ecosystems?

This document needs to put forward a plan that makes it clear the strategy that the Open Government team intends to take to change this and the role that TBS will play in seeing it propagate across the GC.

The discussion should not even exist. A government should be open and transparent and accountable by definition. It serves people who appointed it, and this is how you serve: by being accountable and transparent and by working for the people who appointed you, and not against them.

Regarding your recent inquiry, I would like to share my ideas with you as a medical doctor who has been working in the health system for 20 years. I have done many studies, researches and best practices. I have studied about Canadian health system from last six months, simultaneously with my arrival to Canada. What I have done about Canadian health system can be mentioned as a non-systematic review.
First of all, achievements of the Canadian government are admirable in providing such an easy and comprehensive access to the most important, valid, and reliable information of the country. The transparency of your policies is completely visible on your websites.
Now let me share the results of my assessment, the most important goals are:
1. Reviewing the challenges of the Canadian Health System
2. Finding appropriate strategies to resolve concerns.
Also referring to some of the reports –submitted by various sections of Canada health system— is necessary in order to reach to the goals.
Despite all of the high academic standards, it seems that some of the indicators lack an acceptable level, including:
1. Emergency room waits continue to increase. Click here
2. Inadequate coverage of primary health care in Canada. Click here
3. Low level of health literacy in Canada. Click here
4. Limitation of Human resources and budget. (especially Nurses)
5." the increasing patient demand for a greater role in decisions affecting their care and treatment.
6. the increasing complexity of the healthcare system.
7. the growing perception that patients need to be active health care “consumers.” Click here
8. Patients waited 4 weeks or longer to see a specialist. Click here"
9. Change in the pattern of diseases and the shift of diseases from communicable to non- communicable (increased of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, addiction, weight gain, pulmonary disease, etc.)
It seems the health management model in Canada needs to be reconsidered in the following areas:
1. More emphasis on primary health care and services in accordance with health problems and concerns.
2. Further development of active services against passive care and services, as well as increasing prevention services against hospital services.
3. In addition to providing patients with good quality services, paying more attention to maintain health in sound people (such as implementing health literacy promotion programs and ...).
At the end, regarding scientific and statistical findings, the current management model needs fundamental changes to satisfy more people and increase the percentage of people satisfaction. And in the new model, the role of people in guiding health plans should be emphasized more and more.

Pourquoi un délai aussi court pour recevoir des prestations d'assurances chômage (3mois) Vous etes capable de pouvoir en 3 mois retrouver un emploi ?
Le délai des traitements des demandes peuvent-ils être moins long???
Les prestations d'assurance maladie ou chômage peuvent-elles êtres plus longues ???
Les taux que vous nous donnez correspond juste au salaire minimum et encore...
De toutes façons le contribuables n'est jamais écouter... il est juste bon a payer et se taire.
Merci bonne journee.

Justin Trudeau should resign before he ruins our country. The llegalization of cannabis will ruin the next generation. Just the talk of this subject has already increased crime in Ottawa. He is not fit to ruin a country because he is so rapped up with his own ego. He does not have the background and does not understand that the middle class really works hard, because he has never had to do so.

In addition to generic "contact us" email addresses, I think it would be great if there was an easily accessible contact list for government of Canada employees (or alternatively, just job descriptions of people within each department), which would include; name, work email, telephone #, office address, job title, and perhaps a short description of each person's mandate, purpose, responsibility, what-have-you .. so that people seeking support, advice or help could easily discern who they should potentially be contacting, or even learn about support persons that outsiders (or maybe even government of Canada employees) didn't even know existed. The Government of Canada is vast and employs so many people, there is no one contact person within the government who is aware of all potential avenues a person seeking help may take, and so creating and making available such a list of employees and/or job descriptions to the public could help those seeking services or help to direct their inquiries appropriately. A public that is aware of who is employed by the government and how those people might help them, will be empowered to reach out and perhaps pursue more collaborative efforts. It could even be helpful for employees of Canada, to know about their colleagues' work.

My vision may be a bit radical, but I believe that transparency will require our Financial Management databases to be accessible by the public. The public should be able to see every dollar spent by each department. Instead of having ATIP teams, organize all government actions in such a way as to facilitate the information accessibility directly by the public.

Your open data site is a great step forward. Moving forward there is an opportunity to have more consistency with the formats available, particularly with geospatial data. For example, some datasets just have static shape files while others have published map services. To consume the data from your site it would be great if there were some consistent standards - preferably including Esri Rest Map Services.

Thank you.

Bonjour. Serait-il possible que lorsque vous faites un hyperlien du titre d'une conférence, ce-dit hyperlien mène à une page donnant l'information à laquelle on s'attend à trouver au lieu du formulaire d'inscription ? D'autre part, serait-il également possible que vous cessiez d'insérer des pages blablatant à propos des renseignements personnels qu'on va (peut-être) transmettre et dont vous vous engagez (dans une certaine limite pas claire) à protéger ? Enfin, allez-vous enfin embaucher quelqu'un pour relire ce que vous écrivez dans vos communications avec le public ?

C'est un plan et j'aimerais solliciter ma participation. Mon plan se développe à la réduction du taux de scolarité dans les pays les plus pauvres du monde entier.

I am very worried about the health and social service programs which are severely depleted in the area I live and in Toronto where my son lives. I am worried about services for our Native Canadians, Indian and French English descendants of early settlers. These families made Canada great with their religious and moral values. Now their descendants have less access to these services and their familial ideals are not being upheld. Please don"t allow so many refugees in that we can"t look after our own family. Why not put our aid into the countries where they are fleeing from. Talk to the homeless in Toronto on the streets who cant get housing but say the refugees get priority. Talk to my neighbors who can't get into hospital because the beds are full. First we take care of our own and then we give aid to those hurting around the world who are mostly happier in their own culture. We have a real problem in Canada.

Pls why do you hide your website for Canada visa lottery

Excellent strategic planning and always happy to participate,

Happy to assist

I'm happy with the progress so far, particularly with the development of an open data toolkit and the 4th Plan on Open Government. I think we need to move away from where we began this journey in rowing boats to where we could so easily sail flagships, not in isolation, but as a fleet ;o)

Great work team!
I would be happy to assist you in any way - co-lead a session, help you facilitate, whatever it may be!
Let me know, happy to help!
You know how to reach me :)

I'm completely interesting in being part of this process.

Happy to contribute in any way I can.

The digital divide is alive and well; how can it be overcome or otherwise neutralized.

Gender analysis is similarly important.if the world Open Government seeks to support gives equal care and attention to the dignity of all persons, including Indian, Innu, Metis and all Indigenous Peoples.
