加拿大政府增透明度 新一代信息查询系统启用

新一代政府公开信息查询网站及工具，移民部长康尼昨日在素里宣布启用。他表示，与移民相关的资料库，佔最多人下载利用的联邦资料第六位，以后透过加强版的政府公开资料网站data.gc.ca，全球移民申请人可以查询包括永久居民申请轮候时间等重要资料，而政府部门也能够透过移民部提供的统计，提前对移民到来作完善规划。

康尼说，与移民部有关的资料例如移民来自国家统计、移民对移民服务需求优先顺序的调查、永久居民申请时间、以及各类移民申请的积压，以及申请轮候时间等。

新一代政府公开信息查询网站及工具，所容纳的信息来自20个联邦政府部门，涵盖的信息项目更多，从移民、房屋、医疗及环境信息，其中较受欢迎，较多人搜寻的资料包括永久居民申请时间、边境过关轮候时间、一次世界大战的士兵资料等。

康尼说，新系统的资料全部涵盖在「公开政府使用证」(Open Government Licence)之下，市民不必为取得某些统计，另外再申请使用证，增加政府公开信息的透明度。
