Performance Summary and Analysis of Program Activity

The Tribunal pursues one strategic outcome: order remedial and disciplinary actions that ensure complainants to the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner are protected against reprisals. The Reprisal Hearings Program is the only program activity that contributes to this strategic outcome. Three indicators have been established to measure the Tribunal's performance: the number of decisions and/or orders issued within 250 calendar days from the start of a proceeding, the degree to which the evidence and the written communication filed are shared with all parties and the extent to which the parties have the information needed to exercise their rights. The Tribunal will be in a position to assess its performance against these indicators once it begins hearing cases.

Lessons Learned

The Registry will be better able to draw lessons from its experience once it has handled a few cases.
