In 2007, the first year of the Strategic Review process, 17 federal organizations (including departments, agencies and Crown corporations) undertook strategic reviews of 100 percent of their direct program spending. In total, $13.6 billion, or approximately 15 percent, of all government program spending was examined.

Savings of $386 million were redirected to fund new initiatives, both within review organizations and to other government priorities announced in Budget 2008 (Table A3.1).

Results by federal organizations are detailed in Annex 3 of Budget 2008.
