4.1 Details of Summary of Performance Results and Spending
Included in Section 1.3 — Summary information is Table 1.3.3 — Summary of Performance Results and Spending. According to Treasury Board guidelines, Table 1.3.3 is part of an overall summary of the Agency’s performance in relation to the targets it set for itself. The table presents the performance results for groupings of individual targets, which have been “rolled-up” for the sake of the summary. The breakdown of the individual targets and associated performance results is detailed in Table 4.1.1a and the breakdown of spending by Program Sub-Activities is detailed in Table 4.1.1b.
4.2 Notes on Reporting Against the Report on Plans and Priorities
As discussed in Section 2.1 — How the Agency Plans and Reports — the Agency is required to report on its performance against the 2006–07 Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP). The 2006–07 Performance Report has also been structured to reflect the Agency’s performance over the reporting year in the most accurate manner possible. While more effort has been placed on providing a clear link between the Report on Plans and Priorities and the Performance Report, discrepancies may exist between the two documents. Continued improvements on linking between Plans and Performance will continue over future reporting periods.
Reporting by Strategic Outcome: The complexity of the CFIA ’s business demands that the CFIA engage in a number of ongoing activities that contribute to the achievement of expected results (as outlined in the RPP). The Performance Report reflects the Strategic Outcomes, program activities, program sub-activities and expected results around which the RPP is structured. In this sense, there is a linear correlation between the RPP and the Performance Report.
Reporting on Special Initiatives: As discussed in Section 1.3, the Agency’s 2006–07 Report on Plans and Priorities reports on its key risks and challenges and sets out a plan to address these issues, namely through the work of Special Initiatives. As these are longer term in nature and do not immediately support the ongoing activities of the Agency, Special Initiatives are reported on separately in Section 3.1.
Reporting on Regulatory Research: Regulatory Research is an integral part of the CFIA’s work and is reflected throughout all of the Strategic Outcomes. In order to highlight the CFIA’s important contribution to Regulatory Research, the CFIA’s performance has been highlighted in Section 3.3.
Sound Agency Management: The RPP presents its plan for sound agency management in Section 3.4. The CFIA places a high priority on management excellence. Excellent management is a cornerstone to the CFIA ’s ability to fulfill its mandate.
