This Strategy document contains much that is relevant to open access, particularly Challege 3: Maximizing Access and Use. In particular, let us applaud and support:
3.3 Provide timely and open online access to Canada's public information and publicly-funded research information and data.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
