Through CODEX, Canadians will be able to see the measurable economic benefits of open data in the form of job creation, investment in data-driven companies, and the establishment of a national hub for the commercialization of open data.” People have until Oct. 20 to comment on the proposals. The final plan will be released at the end of this month.
