The solution for Quebec: adopting open governance

By decree on 21 February, France launched Etalab, an open portal of raw data. Yesterday, I described the project in this post .

@ LiberTIC told me this morning on Twitter, " host their data, it is not exactly the accompanying . This non-profit organization that develops and promotes open government and open data in Nantes in France, means Etalab that is a partial solution, a first step, but this does not mean that France is an open government, because there is no question of participation or cooperation. Sake of transparency has been demonstrated by the desire to "put freely available raw data into a usable format " relates 01Net. It lacks the two other components that one can speak of a true open governance in France.

The Quebec government has not yet embarked on an adventure of Open Government.

- Prime Minister Jean Charest keeps saying that Quebec is the right place at the right time. He said at the first conference of a series of four Liberal Party of Quebec, in front of 600 delegates gathered at Three Rivers. He also says in the opening speech of the second session of the 39th Legislature. "Quebec will never been in this position to stand out ."

- In the opening speech Jean Charest argued that it has completed the economic mission for which he was elected 2008 and it intends to focus the second half of his mandate on the "revival . The Prime Minister reiterated the commitment of his administration to stay the course of a balanced budget. But the Auditor General has recently filed a report indicating that there may have been overspending planned.

- The unpopularity of Charest breaks records in polls . The team deploys an operation to regain the public trust.

- Prime Minister also asked members of the National Assembly to exercise good citizenship, in the work of the Assembly. Lucien Bouchard said this week that end: " Understand me, I empathize with politicians, they work all the time, they have sleepless nights, they get attacked for every decision and what they do is simply not valued. It is necessary to upgrade the political . "

solution that would satisfy each of the items listed above, would transform the current machinery of government in Open Government:

- No nation and no country has yet adopted French philosophy of open government. The cities of Nantes, Rennes and Paris have opened their data. Republic French launched Etalab. But Quebec can position the leader in French: by example by becoming the first nation to implement a French Open Government, and by encouraging other countries of the Francophonie in his footsteps.

- The value for money and maintaining a balanced budget can be done through innovation and co-production "with citizens and communities. The positive effects of open governance include the efficiency and cost reduction.

- By focusing on governance, transparency, participation and collaboration, the government Quebec would get on the needs of citizens. It would consolidate its relationship with them and be a catalyst for creativity. The profusion of ideas, combined with the wisdom of crowds, could ensure sound management.

- To achieve success in establishing a new type of governance - it is not a snap, it must divest itself of old habits to embrace change - leaders of the current administration will leave behind their old way of governing. They must learn to think differently. They must learn to behave differently to enhance the other, but also develop a new form of governance.
