What is highly questionable about two levels of Government reaching out to the community to help them with complying/importing authoritative data? US has tiger data(I'm aware it's not the greatest example), Canada has (CanVec). Now we are down to a municipal level and the data(especially addresses that they maintain a database of for emergency services, etc) is incorrect and doesnt match real life. As for the building footprints I have addressed this already: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Canada:Ontario:Ottawa/Import/Plan#Data_quality
We seem to be turning in a circle around "building source data is not publicly available", it's not because of it's held up by bureaucracy which is non-constructive. The source data was handed to StatsCan which we use as our source(I linked you the geojson that has 2 attributes added to it so JOSM wouldn't render a bunch of tagless ways and could make sense of it, if you want the original data: remove both tags). I completely understand that you don't want a bunch of garbage data added to OSM that will take years to clean up, neither do we, hell it's where we live and we'd be only punishing ourselves! The thing you have to understand is this preparation has been going for over a year now (see: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Canada:Ontario:Ottawa/Import&action=history (documentation started)). Even though we had an incompatible license, the data was still available to play with and analyse I get your concerns of problems that may arise during this import, this is what this process is for is it not? To address concerns people may have.
