Introduction

This section presents key financial information for the 2008-2011 period, as well as information on other reporting requirements. The financial information presented typically includes forecast spending for 2007-2008 and planned spending for each of the three years in the planning period.

Note that figures are rounded to the nearest millions of dollars. Figures that cannot be listed in millions are shown as 0.0, and the value 0 is shown as a dash (-).

Alignment to Government of Canada Outcomes

Canada's Performance, the annual report to Parliament on the federal government's contribution to Canada's performance as a nation, as well as each department's Report on Plans and Priorities, are linked to the Whole of Government Framework used for government-wide reporting. This framework groups departmental strategic outcomes and program activities into 13 broad Government of Canada outcomes within four broad spending areas: Economic Affairs, Social Affairs, International Affairs and Government Affairs.

Each of these areas is associated with a number of outcomes that the federal government is working to achieve. The following table shows the relationship between the Government of Canada outcomes, as established in the Whole of Government Framework, and DFO's strategic outcomes and program activities.

Sustainable Development Strategy

Sustainable Development Goal
On behalf of the Government of Canada, DFO is responsible for developing and implementing policies and programs that support Canada's scientific, ecological, social and economic interests in oceans and fresh waters. As a department committed to sustainable development, DFO works to protect and conserve Canada's aquatic resources, while supporting the development and use of these resources.
