If I understand correctly, there is quite a difference in solididy of license
from groups like Wikidata who import data from various sources vs a government
agencies that produce their own data.

"License terms are compatible, but the licenser does not guarantee for it.
4c of the license explicitly states: "Affirmer disclaims responsibility for
clearing rights of other persons that may apply to the Work or any use thereof,
including without limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the
Work.
Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary
consents,
permissions or other rights required for any use of the Work.""
For example Wikidata is CC0 but mostly copyright incompatible with OSM
and unusable for imports in general.

Government of Quebec has added the licence CC0 1.0 to his
https://www.donneesquebec.ca Data portal for import of datasets and never
returned requests to add specific authorisation for OSM.
Looking at the history of discussions, it is not clear for me if the CC0 Public
license is compatible with OSM.
Then my question : Does CC0 1.0 license make the data compatible with
OpenStreeMap Odbl llicense ?
If so, we will have access to datasets of high quality such as route,
hydrography, address.

In order to promote collaboration, exchange and sharing, as well as the use of
open data by all, the Government of Quebec and several municipalities have
adopted a common licence, Creative Commons 4.0 (CC), which comes in six
variants.
This licence is recognized as one of the least restrictive in terms of the
rights to use open data, while protecting copyright.
The universal Creative Commons 1.0 licence (CC0 1.0) can also be used, in
particular to encourage the integration of data into a larger set of open and
linked data, in which the origin of each piece of data can sometimes be more
complex to recognise.
