Yup - for that reason, I will be asking the LWG about the licences for
Ontario, Toronto and Toronto Public library (yup, all different).

For the record:

 1) LWG's decision on Ottawa doesn't immediately open up all Canadian
    open data to be imported into OSM. The LWG, for now at least, plans
    to review them on a case by case base.

 2) If you're wishing to get a new licence approved, the timeline from
    approaching the LWG to getting approval was about two months.
    Please build that delay into any critical path

And belated happy Open Data Day! The reason I was late posting this (LWG
gave me access to the draft minutes mid-afternoon) that I was in an
all-day session with Government of Ontario open data people in Toronto.
Government of Ontario has some very committed open data people.

cheers,
 Stewart
