Section II: Management Representation Statement

Management Representation Statement

I submit, for tabling in Parliament, the 2003-2004 Departmental Performance Report for Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC).

This report has been prepared based on the reporting principles and other requirements in the 2003—2004 Departmental Performance Reports Preparation Guide. Financial performance information is based on the Main Estimates and Public Accounts of Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC). HRDC authorities were divided between HRSDC and Social Development Canada (SDC) on December 12, 2003. Financial information related to the transferred authorities was used to determine amounts to be included in the financial tables as if they were part of HRSDC as of April 1, 2003.

This report represents, to the best of my knowledge, a comprehensive, balanced, and transparent picture of the HRSDC's performance for fiscal year 2003-2004.
