Proactive Disclosure

The Government of Canada has implemented a series of measures to strengthen public sector management by enhancing transparency and oversight of public resources in the federal government.

One of these measures includes the proactive disclosure of financial- and human resources-related information by departments and agencies. By making this information readily available on departmental web sites, Canadians and Parliament are better able to hold the Government and public sector officials to account.

To this end, the Government announced the mandatory publication on departmental Web sites of travel and hospitality expenses for selected government officials; contracts entered into by the Government of Canada for amounts over $10,000 (with only limited exceptions such as national security); and the reclassification of positions.

Information and communications technology alone does not offer a complete solution to information management problems. If computerisation is to provide the basis for informed decision making, greater transparency and effective service delivery, the information generated or held must be reliable and trustworthy over time. Well managed records, paper and electronic, document the policies, transactions and activities of governments and provide a trusted source of information to support accountability. They are the foundation for good governance and for meeting development goals.

The IRMT assists governments and organisations in moving safely from a paper to an electronic environment through building reliable, trustworthy records systems as the basis for data integrity to support:

Financial management
Human resource management
Land administration
Health care management
Justice and courts administration
Services for citizens
Anti-corruption strategies
Access to information
Protection of rights and entitlements
