In 2010–11, Industry Canada underwent a strategic review of its program expenditures as part of the government’s commitment to delivering programs and services that are efficient and effective, aligned with the priorities of Canadians and financially sustainable over the long term. Results of the strategic review were unavailable at the time this report was produced; however, an overview of the results is included in Budget 2011. Industry Canada’s 2011–12 Departmental Performance Report will elaborate on the results of the strategic review.
