Annex B: Whole of Government Perspective
The electronic version of Canada's Performance 2004
The electronic version of Canada's Performance 2004 allows the reader to drill down to
specific information on departmental plans, performance, expenditures and programs that can be found
in the Reports on Plans and Priorities and Departmental Performance Reports.
The figure below illustrates the framework used by Canada's Performance 2004 to report on
a whole of government perspective.
In addition to the departments and agencies supporting the Government of Canada outcomes in each
theme, the electronic version also links the planning, results and resource information of federal
organizations that provide support to all departments and agencies (i.e. the Treasury Board of
Canada Secretariat, the Public Service Commission of Canada, Statistics Canada, and Public Works and
Government Services Canada).
The electronic version of the report can be found at: http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/report/govrev/04/cp-rc_e.asp
1. For notes on how these numbers are calculated refer to the
Statistics Canada site: Provincial Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by industry. [Return]
2. The 2001 Census collected data that is based on four different
definitions: ethnic origin (ancestry), Aboriginal Identity, Registered Indian, and Band membership.
In the 2001 Census release of Aboriginal data, the concept of Aboriginal Identity was used to
provide a demographic profile of the Aboriginal population. [Return]
3. Affordability cannot be assessed for on-reserve dwellings, since shelter
costs are not collected by the census for on-reserve households, whose housing costs are paid
through band housing arrangements. [Return]
4. Unlike CMHC's definition of suitability as enough bedrooms for the
size and make-up of resident households, Statistics Canada defines crowding as one or more
people per room, i.e. three people in a one-bedroom apartment would be considered crowded. [Return]
5. BMI is a single number that evaluates an individual's weight status in
relation to his or her height. [Return]
6. Health services are broken down as follows: overall health care services;
hospital care; physician care; community-based care; and telephone health line or tele-health
services. [Return]
7. In general, direct comparisons between the results from the 2001 and 2003
Access to Health Care Services in Canada survey should be made with caution because of changes in
the manner in which the data were collected. [Return]
8. There are three different levels of wastewater treatment available:
primary, secondary and tertiary. Primary treatment removes debris and suspended solids by
screening and settling processes. Secondary treatment breaks down organic material and
removes additional suspended solids using biological processes. Tertiary treatment removes
specific compounds or materials that remain after secondary treatment, using additional filtering,
chemical or biological processes. (Environment Canada, Tracking Key Environmental Issues, 2001) [Return]
9. The following are status definitions as determined by COSEWIC: extinct (X)
- a wildlife species that no longer exists; extirpated (XT) - a wildlife species no longer
existing in the wild in Canada but occurring elsewhere; endangered (E) - a wildlife species
facing imminent extirpation or extinction; threatened (T) - a wildlife species likely to
become endangered if limiting factors are not reversed; special concern (SC) - a wildlife
species that may become a threatened or an endangered species because of a combination of biological
characteristics and identified threats; not at risk (NAR) - a species that has been evaluated
and found to be not at risk of extinction given the current circumstances. (Source: COSEWIC, May
