The Canadian federal government is way ahead of most provinces on that
front.  One can see the commitments of organizations like the Centre for
Topographic Information - Sherbrooke (federal agency) where some folks
are actively collaborating on projects like OpenStreetMap as part of
their duties.  

Open source in provinces is way behind, especially in my own province :
Québec :-(. I don't know what it will take for government organizations
to see the virtues of collaboration ...
