Commitment 1.4: Records
Open Government of Canada Records. Other Information:
Opening Government of Canada Records: The Government of Canada archives contain a wealth of documentary heritage, and it is
important that Canadians have access to this information. In Year 1 of our Action Plan, we will increase access to archived
federal documents held by Library and Archives Canada by removing restrictions on this information wherever possible, thereby
ensuring ongoing access to the preserved historical record of the Government of Canada. Additionally, in Year 1, we will issue
new mandatory policy to drive consistent document classification practices across the federal government to reduce the volume
of classified documents in the future. In Years 2 and 3, we will work with departments to progressively make the classified
documentation already held within the archives of the Government of Canada available online through Web 2.0 platforms and
in formats accessible on mobile devices where possible.
