[1] Source: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat – Whole-of-Government Framework.

[2] Marketplace framework is the legislative and regulatory environment within which transportation service providers operate.

[3] Gateways link Canada to its international trading partners. Corridors, in turn, link gateways to each other and to major North American markets.

[4] A Program is defined as a group of related resource inputs and activities that are designed and managed to address specific needs, achieve intended results, and are treated as a budgetary unit. The Program Activity represents the largest identifiable program(s) that the Department manages.

[5] The Productivity Index measures the annual percent change in the quantity of output as a ratio of the quantity of various inputs including labour, capital, fuel and overhead. Transport Canada uses this index to measure the productivity of various modes of transport. Measuring the productivity of the sector enable us to measure the efficiency progress of transportation policies and regulatory controls under the strategic outcome Efficient Transportation System. The assumption is that increases in the efficiency of the transportation system will increase productivity.

[6] The main greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, which contribute to global warming.

[7] CO2 equivalent is a measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based on their global warming potential relative to that of carbon dioxide.

[8] Operational priorities improve Transport Canada’s ability to achieve better results for Canadians through improvements to how programs are delivered.

[9] Management priorities focus on improving Transport Canada’s management practices, controls or systems in such areas as human resources, risk management, real property management.

[10] Corporate Risk Profile helps Transport Canada establish a direction for managing departmental risks. The profile presents a snapshot of the Department’s risk status at a particular point in time.

[11] Performance Measurement Framework is a program tool, which helps managers focus on measuring and reporting on departmental outcomes and expected results.

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

[13] Performance indicator is a statistic or parameter that, tracked over time, provides information on trends in the condition of an activity.

[14] Target is a specific performance goal tied to a performance indicator against which actual performance will be compared.

[15] The description of this Program Activity will be revised in the near future.

[16] Gross capital stock is the value of all fixed assets still in use, at the actual or estimated current purchasers’ prices for new assets of the same type, irrespective of the age of the assets.

[17] Emission intensity is the amount of a pollutant emitted per unit of activity.

[18] Air issues such as smog and acid rain result from the presence of, and interactions between, a group of pollutants known as criteria air contaminants and some related pollutants. Criteria air contaminants refer to a group of pollutants that include sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide and ammonia.

[19] Ballast is defined as any solid or liquid that is brought on board a vessel to increase the draft, change the trim, regulate the stability or maintain stress loads within acceptable limits.

[20] Composite index usually has a large number of factors, which are averaged together to form a product representative of an overall market or sector.

[21] Gazette II: The Canada Gazette is one of the vehicles that Canadians can use to access the laws and regulations that govern their daily lives. Government departments and agencies as well as stakeholders from the private sector are required by law to publish certain information in the Canada Gazette. Gazette II refers to official regulations.

[22] 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.
