The table below describes how the organization’s main program activity aligns to the Strategic Outcome, and how the organization plans to measure success and ultimately benefit Canadians.

The assumptions found in this Report on Plans and Priorities stem from an ongoing strategic planning exercise in which a review of investigative procedures and practices is being completed with a view to confirming the organization’s alignment with its mandate. From this exercise, five corporate priorities - mental health issues, Aboriginal issues, preventable deaths in custody, program
access and conditions of confinement were identified as investigative priorities and a focal point for the organization. In addition, the Office will continue its work as it relates to federally sentenced women.
Going into the first year of this Plan, the organization will house a full complement of investigative staff that will contribute to the delivery of the mandate, bolster systemic investigations and continue to effectively respond to individual offender complaints. It is expected that turnover may begin to occur in year two of this Plan as this will coincide with the third and fourth year of
employment for several individuals hired since 2009-2010. In preparation for this possibility, the organization will rely on the ongoing establishment of pools of qualified candidates at every level within the investigative stream.
The Office of the Correctional Investigator provides Canadians with timely, independent, thorough and objective investigations into problems of offenders to ensure a safe, secure, fair, equitable, humane, reasonable and effective correctional environment. By the very nature of the organization’s mandate, Canadians benefit when an offender’s human rights are upheld and correctional programs contribute towards his/her timely and effective reintegration into society. The Office and the work performed by staff contribute toward this positive outcome.
