[1] The purpose of this framework is to map the financial and non-financial contributions of federal organizations by aligning their program activities with a set of high-level outcome areas defined for the government as a whole.

[2] The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974 was adopted by the International Maritime Organization and applies to vessels of 500 gross tonnage or more travelling in international waters.

[3] The survey was conducted by StrategYX, a team established in 2009 to provide senior management with strategic advice on how to engage young and new employees within Transport Canada.

[4] Environment Canada, "Canada’s Emissions Trends".

[5] Airport Authorities lease payments were first deposited directly into the Consolidated Revenue Fund in 2010-2011, instead of being credited to vote-netting revenue. In compensation for this change, Transport Canada received a permanent increase to its reference level.

[6] An expected result is an outcome towards which Transport Canada is contributing through various activities in its Program Activity Architecture.

[7] A performance indicator is a statistic or parameter that, tracked over time, provides information on trends in the status of an activity.

[8] A target is a specific performance goal tied to a performance indicator against which actual performance will be compared.

[9] Marine Atlantic Inc., a federal Crown corporation, delivers the only constitutional ferry service in Canada. The company also operates a non-constitutional, seasonal service from June to September between North Sydney, Nova Scotia, and Argentia, Newfoundland and Labrador.

[10] This indicator was modified within the reporting year to reflect new measures adopted for improved performance analysis.

[11] Comprehensive Energy Use Database — Energy-Efficiency Trends Analysis (tables 1 and 8), Natural Resources Canada, 2011.

[12] An "invasive species" is defined as a species that is non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem under consideration and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health.

[13] This indicator was modified within the reporting year to reflect new measures adopted for improved performance analysis.

[14] The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act applies to all activities under the jurisdiction of Parliament. Enforcement is conducted and compliance is ensured under the oversight sub activity, which is a shared responsibility with other federal departments, and provincial and territorial authorities.

[15] Category 1 operators are the 11 operators from the six major urban centres (Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, the National Capital Region and Montreal). Category 2 operators are those from smaller municipalities and communities outside major urban areas.

[16] Commencing with the 2009-2010 Estimates cycle, the resources for the Internal Services program activity are displayed separately from other program activities; they are no longer distributed among the remaining program activities, as was the case in previous Main Estimates. This has affected the comparability of spending and FTE information by program activity across fiscal years.

[17] Management and Oversight Services include the following service groupings: Strategic Policy and Economic Analysis, Government Relations, Executive Services, Corporate Planning and Reporting, Programs and Services Management, Internal Audit, Evaluation and Crown Corporation Governance.
