The Government On-line (GOL) was the Government of Canada's initiative to make the 130 most commonly used services available on-line, anywhere, anytime, and in both official languages by 2005. The goal of this initiative was to use information and communication technology to provide Canadians with enhanced access to improved citizen-centered, integrated services.
Western Economic Diversification Canada’s Government On-Line (GOL) vision was to provide products and services to western Canadians through all service delivery channels: in person, correspondence, fax, telephone, video-conferencing and the Internet. The on-line products and services complement existing methods of interacting with external clients. On-line services are developed when there is a demand from clients and they are deemed cost-effective.
