On September 1, 2010, the
Federal/Provincial/Territorial Commissioners and Ombudsmen, currently
meeting in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, released a joint resolution
about the importance of governments sharing information with the public
in more accessible, open formats. The Commissioners and Ombudsmen are
asking governments to transform their traditional, reactive information
dissemination methods into a mode that facilitates proactive disclosure.
The statement is available for review and to view in
