The Government of Canada is improving transparency by increasing the release of information so that Canadians are better able to hold Parliament, their Government, and public sector officials to account. To that end, the government of Canada added requirements under the ''Access to Information Act'' (ATIA) mandating the proactive publication of specific information.

For example, Canadians can now find the titles of briefing notes to ministers and deputy ministers, Question Period notes for ministers, briefing packages prepared for incoming deputies and ministers, and materials prepared for appearances at Parliamentary Committees online at the Open Government Portal. The Portal is easy to use, allowing users to search for the type of record they wish to access, the institution it comes from, or subject matters of interest.
