MINISTER'S MESSAGE"Allow me to single out the people in the Department of Public Works and Government Services for their ERC work. They rose to the challenge and made an exceptional contribution to the success of this exercise. I applaud their innovation and their professionalism." - The Hon. Ralph Goodale, Minister of Finance, Budget 2005 speech
I am pleased to present this year's Report on Plans and Priorities (2005-2006), outlining the key priorities and challenges Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) faces in the year ahead. The Government of Canada has changed the way it manages taxpayers' dollars by asking departments to continuously look for ways to save and to reallocate resources from lower priority spending to help fund important programs and services such as health care, early childhood development, a new deal for communities and the environment. My department's chief contribution to this effort is to lead a fundamental change in how the Government manages some of its core operations. Our strategic vision, The Way Forward, focuses our efforts on buying smarter, exploring savings in real estate, taking full advantage of information technology systems and providing leadership in the greening of government operations. There are two interrelated objectives at the core of our strategy: to achieve government-wide savings of $3.4 billion over the coming five years by maximizing efficiencies and taking advantage of economies of scale; and, to do this in an open, transparent way to preserve the confidence of Canadians in the integrity and fairness of the Government of Canada. I am proud of the progress and leadership demonstrated by PWGSC in taking on this agenda. As we move forward, we will work more closely than ever with colleague departments, reinforce our new rigorous management structure, pursue excellence in providing service and look to expand our work related to sustainable development. While change is never easy, my department is committed to delivering on the rising expectations of Canadians and on our promise of greater value for money.
The Honourable Scott Brison P.C.
