<p class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"TEXT-ALIGN: justify">As a vital national in=
stitution and a key component to Canada's competitive advantage in a po=
st-recession world, an innovative public service is more important now than=
ever. Today's complex challenges require a public service that recogni=
zes and acts upon new ideas, new operating methods, and new ways of deliver=
ing services. Canada's public service has undergone and continues to un=
dergo important reforms that make it more open, citizen-centred, collaborat=
ive and innovative.</p>
<p style=3D"TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In the quest for public service innovation=
, one movement in particular is gaining momentum - that of open government.=
Today, <strong>open government</strong> goes beyond mere citizens' acc=
ess to information. It is about enabling citizens and stakeholders=A0to sha=
re this information, add value, and participate in our democracy in a more =
meaningful way. It also means improving communication internally and harnes=
sing technologies to share and collaborate. In order to generate novel, equ=
itable, and sustainable solutions for the future, the federal public servic=
e will have to continue to innovate in many areas. David Eaves argues that =
creating a culture and practice of open government at all levels is an impo=
rtant first step.</p>
<p style=3D"TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><strong>David Eaves</strong>, an open gove=
rnment activist and public service sector thought leader, who has advised g=
overnments and written extensively on the subject, will explore and offer i=
nsight into how <strong>open government</strong> is an important driver of =
and essential to creating a culture of public service innovation.</p>
<p style=3D"TEXT-ALIGN: justify">As the discussant, <strong>Chuck Henry</st=
rong>, former Chief Technology Officer of the Government of Canada, will hi=
ghlight some of the recent trends and initiatives toward collaboration, tec=
hnology incorporation, and open government. In addition, he will share his =
perspective on what are some of the opportunities, barriers and obstacles, =
and some of the influencing factors of open government.</p>
