3.3 Whole of Government Framework

The Whole of Government Framework was introduced in Canada's Performance 2002, and has evolved through departmental consultations over the years.

The framework provides a structural "logic model" for the Government of Canada - mapping the contributions of departments, agencies and Crown corporations that receive appropriations to a set of high-level Government of Canada outcome areas.

To achieve its strategic outcome, the Tribunal identified three strategic priorities in its Report on Plans and Priorities. The following table outlines the Tribunal's strategic outcome and alignment to Government of Canada outcomes.

Strategic Outcome: To provide the Canadian transportation community with the opportunity to have administrative or enforcement actions under federal transportation Acts reviewed by an independent body.

Program Activity: Review and appeal hearings

Government of Canada outcome: Safe and secure communities
