Insights into Public’s acceptance of Government Use of Data
The use of data to improve service delivery within and across levels of government in Canada raises issues such as responsible use of data and analytics, and the protection of the personal information of citizens. Is not so much whether citizen’s personal information can be legally used and shared by government, but more so whether citizens think government should be using and sharing their information. This report was developed for a better understanding of public acceptance for the use and sharing of data for the improvement of public services within and across levels of government. It is intended to inform the future direction of intergovernmental use of data in Canada, as well as to guide future research on barriers to data sharing for public services across government.

May 2021
Service matters. The experience people have when they are accessing government services forms their impression – positive or negative – about the effectiveness of public institutions and the level of confidence they have in them. The Maturity Model is a tool that will help assess the current effectiveness of a service experience from a citizen perspective. It will also assist in determining what changes need to be made to improve that experience.
