Environment Canada and Industry are currently behind schedule on this
commitment: "Maximize access to federally funded scientific research to
encourage greater collaboration and engagement with the scientific community,
the private sector, and the public". This needs to be a priority. Canada does
not currently have a culture of open access to government science. There is a
need for considerable discussion and preparation for change. The June 2016
consultation should be heavily promoted and deadlines extended if necessary
to get it right. [Disclosure: I am an advocate of open access and a
university professor / researcher with a research interest in this area].
