Framework for the Management of Information (FMI) in the Government of Canada
Managing information is a crucial element of all Government of Canada
activities and a part of every GoC employees' responsibilities.
The Framework for the Management of Information (FMI) in the Government of
Canada provides strategic direction and practical guidance. It describes why and
how to integrate the management of information with a wide range of GoC
activities to improve business delivery, legal and policy compliance, citizen
access and accountability. FMI guidance may be used "as is" or
modified to meet specific institutional requirements.
We are moving forward!
Effective July 1, 2007 the Policy on Information Management 2007 replaced
the Policy on Management of Government Information 2003 (MGI).
The documents available from this
site were developed to support implementation of the Policy on Management of
Government Information. As instruments are developed or updated to support the
new policy, they will be added to this site. During the transition, be assured
that the general guidance published on IM topics has not changed, however
references to specific policy statements or clauses may no longer be current.

Making the Distinction
- Information Management is a discipline that directs and
supports effective and efficient management of information in an
organization from planning and systems development to disposal and/or
long-term preservation.
- Management of Information is an element of every job function
in the GoC that has to do with treating the information used or
produced in the course of performing the job duties as a strategic
business resource and in line with legal and policy requirements.
