1  Elections Canada's PAA was recently revised to report agency performance at the program activity level. However, this 2010–2011 Departmental Performance Report reports results at the sub-activity level to be consistent with the 2010–2011 Report on Plans and Priorities, which was based on the old PAA.

2 Percentage of the expected level of performance, for each priority identified in the 2010–2011 Report on Plans and Priorities, that was achieved during the fiscal year.

3 Beginning with the 2009–2010 Estimates cycle, Internal services is displayed separately from other program activities; resources are no longer distributed among the remaining program activities, as was the case in previous Main Estimates. This change affects the comparability of spending and FTE information by program activity between fiscal years.

4 This 2010–2011 Departmental Performance Report is reporting the agency's performance at the sub-activity level to be consistent with the PAA set out in the 2010–2011 Main Estimates. Elections Canada's PAA has recently been revised, with Treasury Board approval, and thus, beginning with the 2011–2012 Main Estimates, the key programs we provide for Canadians will be reported at the program activity level.

5 In on-campus student residences, in seniors' residences and long-term care facilities, and on Aboriginal reserves.

6  Participants included indeterminate, term and casual employees.
