Economics, Statistics and Federal Fiscal Relations
WHAT WE DO
The section is responsible for fiscal, tax, statistical and economic policy advice and provides liaison with the federal government and the provinces on federal/provincial fiscal arrangements. The most prominent aspects of federal/provincial fiscal arrangements are Equalization, Canada Health and Social Transfer, Income Tax Collection Agreements, Reciprocal Taxation Agreement and Fiscal Stabilization. The section maintains the function of statistical focal point for PEI, actively participating with Statistics Canada on statistical matters and responding to inquiries for statistical information.
The primary role of the Program Evaluation Section is to support departments in promoting a corporate approach to program evaluation and increased accountability within the Public Sector. This includes evaluating progress toward goals and improving program performance through the collection of information, statistical analysis and on-going monitoring of program results and outcomes. Program evaluation staff also promote the importance of evaluation as an integrated part of the management process.
