摘要

摘要本文考察了加拿大联邦信息获取(ATI)制度的现状。根据有关政府透明度的文献，我们将C-58号法案及其提出的问题概念化为政策不协调的一种形式。我们通过分析请求放弃、记录豁免以及各部门变化的数据，评估加拿大ATI最近的数字化。在这样做的过程中，我们发现了“开放、诚实、政府”的战略叙述与最近通过立法修正案带来的变化之间的紧张关系。最后，我们对目前在加拿大联邦背景下提倡的主动披露、开放政府和透明度的概念提出了质疑。

Governing through transparency: Investigating the new access to information regime in Canada

Abstract This paper examines the state of Canada’s federal access to information (ATI) regime. Drawing from literature on government transparency, we conceptualize Bill C-58 and the problems it proposes to address as a form of policy discordance. We assess the recent digitization of ATI in Canada by analyzing data on request abandonment, record exemptions, as well as variation by ministry. In so doing, we identify tensions between strategic narratives of “open, honest, government” and recent changes brought about through legislative amendments. We conclude by problematizing notions of proactive disclosure, open government, and transparency as currently promoted in the Canadian federal context.
