About Canada's Performance 2005
This is the fifth Canada's Performance report tabled in
Parliament by the President of the Treasury Board. Canada's
Performance 2005 tracks the federal government's contribution
to Canada's performance as a nation in three comprehensive policy
areas-sustainable economy, Canada's social foundations, and Canada's place
in the world. It also includes a special cross-cutting chapter on
Aboriginal peoples. The report provides a whole-of-government perspective
from which to view the plans, results, and resources of individual federal
departments and agencies as presented in their spring planning and fall
performance reports.

Sound public sector management matters. The objective of
the government's pursuit of management excellence is to provide more
responsive, more innovative, and more accountable service to Canadians.
That's why reports like
Canada's Performance are so important.
Canada's Performance 2005 provides a
government-wide overview that enables spending and performance information
to be presented in a comprehensible format, easily accessible to
parliamentarians and Canadians. |
Through Canada's Performance 2005, Canadians will be able to see how their government
contributes to Canada's performance as a nation. This report helps Canadians
understand how their tax dollars are spent.
This year's report is structured around three key policy
areas-sustainable economy, Canada's social foundations, and Canada's place in
the world. This structure reflects other government documents, such as Budget
2005, in order to assess the federal government's effort to improve the quality
of life for Canadians.
Canada's Performance 2005 also includes a special
chapter on Aboriginal Peoples that discloses all federal spending on Aboriginal
programs. In order to improve outcomes for Aboriginal people in Canada, we need
to know how much money is allocated by the federal government and how those
funds are spent. By disclosing federal spending, we can work together with
Aboriginal people in Canada to improve programs and their results.
Overall, Canada's performance on key economic, social and
international outcomes ranks well compared to other countries, but that does not
mean we should be complacent. We recognize that many players-other levels of
government, the private sector, community groups and individuals-have an
important contribution to make. We will continue to develop these partnerships
to enhance the quality of life for Canadians. Together, we can move Canada
forward.
The paper version was signed by Reg Alcock
President of the Treasury Board and
Minister responsible for the Canadian Wheat Board
