NUPEG: Canada's governments need to be much more open (
http://www.nupge.ca/content/3539/canadas-governments-need-be-much-more-open)
Their message was contained in a joint resolution released this week
by commissioners representing the federal, provincial and territorial
governments.
The statement says governments are under increasing pressure to
transform the "traditional" practice of releasing information only when
asked to do so and take a more "proactive" approach that releases
information automatically to the public.
In particular, the commissioners called on politicians and bureaucrats to embrace the principle of "open government."
