What is Proactive Publication?
The government is committed to raising the bar for openness and transparency and is taking steps to become “open by default,” by sharing an ever increasing amount of government data and information with Canadians.
To support that commitment, a new part of the Access to Information Act requires institutions to proactively publish specific information known to be of interest to the public, to provide greater transparency and accountability for the use of public funds. These changes put into law proactive disclosure practices previously only covered by federal policy, and introduce important new publication requirements that apply the Access to Information Act to a wider range of organizations.
What are the requirements for Crown corporations?
| Legislative Requirement | Proposed Deadline in Bill C-58 |
|---|---|
| Travel expenses of senior officers or employees | within 30 days after the end of the month of reimbursement |
| Hospitality expenses of senior officers or employees | within 30 days after the end of the month of reimbursement |
| Reports tabled in Parliament | within 30 days after tabling |
In addition, Crown corporations and wholly-owned subsidiaries listed in Schedule IV of the Financial Administration Act, including the Canadian Dairy Commission, must publish position reclassifications within 30 days after the end of the quarter.
