[CivicAccess-discuss] CivicAccess-discuss Digest, Vol 82, Issue 13

[Claire Woodside]

Some of you may have heard about Canada's commitment to require the
mandatory disclosure of payments to governments both in Canada and abroad by
Canadian mining oil and gas companies. Recently, the Canadian government,
led by NRCAN. concluded a round of consultations that included written
submissions. This consultation process involved the treasury board as they
are going to be proposing to include mandatory payment reporting as an
action plan commitment in Canada's Action Plan 2.0. Unfortunately of the 46
written submissions, only 8 have been made public. Which is disappointing
and which we believe contravenes the spirit and guidelines of the OGP.

Interestingly, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers is not really
opposing the disclosure of payments to foreign countries, but does not want
to disclose payments to sub-federal jurisdictions in Canada - in addition to
a host of other concerns.

If you have thoughts on why Canada's needs sub-federal disclosure of
payments by mining, oil, and gas companies to governments. It would be great
if you could express those as a comment in the post we have made on
data.gc.ca's idea dialogue
http://data.gc.ca/eng/Transparency_Mining_Oil_Gas_Sectors. 

CAPP's submission can be found here:

fantastic discovery of how disciplining and punishing changed overtime and
how a liking for state based violence declined.
