Government On-Line Public Report
Western Economic Diversification Canada’s (WD) Government On-Line (GOL)
vision is to provide products and services to western Canadians through all
service delivery channels: in person, correspondence, fax, telephone, video-conferencing
and the Internet. The on-line products and services complement existing methods
of interacting with external clients. On-line services are developed when there
is a demand from clients and they are deemed cost-effective.
WD initiated two key department-wide changes in 2003/04 to enable more effective
service transformation and the delivery of GOL client services: the redesign
of departmental programs to focus on informational services and partnership
developments; and, a new emphasis on service transformation through the establishment
of an Information Management and Technology Section to align WD’s strategic
objectives with electronic service delivery solutions.
Sustainable Development Strategy
Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. As a department concerned
with economic diversification, we recognize that sustainable economic development
requires consideration of environmental impacts and the health and well being
of Canadians. For Western Economic Diversification Canada, sustainable development
means giving full consideration to economic development, the preservation of
the environment and the social well being of Canadians.
