In the second year of the Strategic Review process, 14 federal organizations (including departments, agencies and Crown corporations) undertook the assessment of 100 percent of their direct program spending. Also, six other organizations undertook a horizontal review of the government's human resources function. In total, $25 billion, or approximately 27 percent of all government program spending was examined.

Savings of $586 million were redirected to fund new initiatives as part of the Economic Action Plan, both within review organizations and to broader spending areas announced in Budget 2009.

Results by federal organizations are detailed in Annex 3 of Budget 2009.
