The purpose of reporting on the Sustainable Development Strategies (SDSs) is
to apprise parliamentarians of progress made against commitments contained in
the SDSs tabled in February 2001.
Departments should report progress against their commitments clearly and
explicitly. For this purpose, the Commissioner of the Environment and
Sustainable Development (CESD) has developed an inventory of the goals,
objectives, targets and actions contained in the most recent SDS (http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/domino/cesd_cedd.nsf/html/deptsd_e.html). Departments may wish to present highlights of their achievements in the DPR and provide a reference to a more detailed progress report. Since the CESD has stated that departmental progress will be audited against the inventory,
departments may find it more efficient to use the inventory as the basis of
their detailed progress report. If further information is required related to
the reporting/monitoring of progress on SDS commitments, please contact the
Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development.
Departments and agencies should address the following points in their summary
report in the DPR:
