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.

I've given up on this happening in the near term. It seems to me that if change does happen, it will be in spite of the bureaucracy and not with help from it. We have seen more results from YouTube vigilantism than with these establishment efforts, at least in terms of "the" public posting videos of misbehaving civil servants such as bus drivers or police officers.
