Help Develop Canada’s 2025–2029 National Action Plan on Open Government

About Open Government

Open government means the government is transparent with information and accountable for decisions. It also means people are involved in making decisions. To do this, the government works with people, communities, businesses, and civil society.

Open government is based on the principles of transparency, accountability and public participation. Transparency means sharing the government’s data and information and making it easier for people to access them. Accountability means holding government responsible for their actions and decisions. Public participation means involving people in decisions about government policies and programs.

The Government of Canada is committed to being open.
