President's Message
I am pleased to introduce Canada's Performance 2007–08. This report provides an overview of the government's contribution to Canada's performance in key areas. Serving as a companion piece to the 91 Departmental Performance Reports for 2007–08, linkages are made between our commitments and the steps we've taken to deliver on them.
Our Government is committed to accountability, high standards of management and focussed, prudent spending. We continue to strive for excellence in our departments and agencies.
As part of this commitment, our Government has put in place a number of new measures, including a new expenditure management system, to ensure that parliamentarians receive improved information through increased transparency and accountability.
This improved approach to informing parliamentarians—and through them, all Canadians—is evident throughout Canada's Performance 2007–08.
I encourage Canadians to read this report. In doing so, they will see our Government's commitment to delivering real results and building a stronger, better Canada.
The paper version was signed by
Vic Toews
President of the Treasury Board
