This table presents planned Full-time Equivalents (FTEs) by Program. This table also aligns planned FTEs with the Whole-of-Government by linking each Program line with its corresponding Government of Canada Spending Area and Activity. Notes:

• Planned FTEs is a measure of the extent to which an employee represents a full person-year charge against the departmental budget for future spending years. Full-time equivalents are calculated as a ratio of assigned hours of work to scheduled hours of work.

Departmental Results Reports (DRRs) – previously named Departmental Performance Reports (DPR) – are individual department and agency accounts of actual accomplishments against plans, priorities and results set out in their respective Departmental Plans (DPs). DPs and DRRs make up Part III (the Departmental Expenditure Plans) of the Estimates publications.

Through DRRs, individual departments and agencies provide information on how they are progressing toward their strategic goals. DRRs cover the most recently completed fiscal year and are normally tabled in the fall.

Part III of the Estimates consists of two documents: Departmental Plans (DPs) and Departmental Results Reports (DRRs). Departmental Plans are forward-looking documents that provide plans for each department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). Departmental Results Reports are individual department and agency accounts of actual accomplishments against plans, priorities and results set out in their respective Departmental Plans. In the 2017-18 fiscal year, a new reporting format consisting of a Departmental Results Framework and Program Inventory was adopted by the following 8 organizations, per the TBS Policy on Results.

Departmental Plans are forward-looking documents that provide plans for each department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). Departmental Results Reports are individual department and agency accounts of actual accomplishments against plans, priorities and results set out in their respective Departmental Plans. As per the TBS Policy on Results, a new reporting format—consisting of a Departmental Results Framework and Program Inventory—was adopted in the 2018-19 fiscal year by all organizations.

Departmental Plan (DPs) are forward-looking documents that provide plans for each department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). They describe departmental priorities, expected results and associated resource requirements covering three fiscal years.

DPs are normally tabled by the President of the Treasury Board on behalf of the Government of Canada, on or before March 31 each year. They are a component of Part III (Departmental Expenditure Plans) of the Estimates process, along with the Departmental Result Reports.

This table presents results, targets (numeric – maximum and minimum - and non-numeric) as well as dates to achieve these targets by Program.

For organizations still using the Program Alignment Architecture, the information included in this table will align with their Departmental Plan tabled in Parliament. For the 7 departments reporting under the new Policy on Results, this table includes additional data to supplement information contained in Departmental Plans tabled in Parliament.

The data entries with “.” are intentional to distinguish no recorded value for a cell as opposed to an actual recorded value of zero.

This table presents planned spending by Program based on Departmental Plans. This table also aligns planned spending with the Whole-of-Government framework by linking each Program spending line with its corresponding Government of Canada Spending and Activity Areas. In order to provide a more complete picture of the government’s overall planned spending, this table also contains planned spending information for organizations that are not required to provide a Departmental Plan, notably: Crown corporations; Parliamentary entities; the International Joint Commission (Canadian Section); the Office of the Governor General’s Secretary; the Canadian Security Intelligence Service; and the Communication Security Establishment. For these organizations, this table reproduces the planned spending information found in the Main Estimates.

2017–18 Departmental Plan provides parliamentarians and Canadians with information on what we do and the results we are trying to achieve during the upcoming year.

The financial, people management and results data presented in the GC InfoBase are periodically updated as new information becomes available. Due to the nature of varying datasets, not all datasets are updated at the same time or on the same periodic schedule. For example, the Public Accounts of Canada is published every fall, while Departmental Plans, are published on or before March 31 each year. Once published, the data must be prepared in an appropriate format to be integrated into the GC InfoBase.

Departmental Performance Reports (DPRs) are individual department and agency accounts of results achieved against planned performance expectations as set out in respective Reports on Plans and Priorities (RPP). These Performance Reports, which cover the most recently completed fiscal year, are tabled in Parliament in the fall by the President of the Treasury Board on behalf of the ministers who preside over the appropriation dependent departments and agencies identified in Schedules I, I.1 and II of the Financial Administration Act.
