Consultation via Twitter is perhaps not the best platform. Other social medias platforms would generate better results.

Consult with citizens, businesses, agencies, and institutions by taking a "Think Tank" approach. Allow them to conceptualize how the government should best consult with Canadians and how best to understand the changing landscape of Open Government.

Use tools like Twitter / Facebook. Follow the Engineers without borders example where they had 25,000 Canadians petition CIDA to use the IATI format.
