President's Message
I am pleased to present Canada's Performance 2008–09. As a companion document to the 92 departmental performance reports for 2008–09, this report provides an overview of the Government of Canada's contribution to Canada's growth and performance in key areas.
This past year was marked by the global economic recession. In response, the Government introduced Budget 2009: Canada's Economic Action Plan and took new measures to stimulate the economy and to protect the jobs, savings and economic security of Canadians. Our Government continues to build on initiatives that will secure Canada's long-term growth and prosperity. Many of the measures taken to implement the Economic Action Plan are reflected in Canada's Performance 2008–09.
As part of the Government's strong commitment to accountability, Canada's Performance 2008–09 details results achieved through federal government programs and initiatives.
We continue to strive for excellence in our departments and agencies. I encourage all Canadians to read this report to learn more about the Government's progress toward building a stronger and better Canada.
The paper version was signed by
Vic Toews
The Honourable Vic Toews, P.C., Q.C., MP.
President of the Treasury Board
