Long accused of systemic secrecy and reluctance to disclose information on issues ranging from food safety to drug approval, the federal government began to crack open the data gate by unveiling very modest transparency initiatives, primarily for datasets like ones on the number of dairy cows in Canada and soldiers of World War I. Datasets from Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada were not included.
