Canada's governments need to be much more open

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."
