News release

March 2, 2022 – Ottawa, Ontario – Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

The Government of Canada is committed to transparency and accountability so Canadians and parliamentarians have the information they need to assess government plans, priorities and results.

Today, the Honourable Mona Fortier, President of the Treasury Board, tabled in the House of Commons the Government of Canada’s 2022-23 Departmental Plans on behalf of departments and agencies.

Departmental Plans provide details on an organization's mandate, commitments, and priorities for the coming fiscal year, and form the baseline against which organizations will track and report on their year-end performance through Departmental Results Reports.

Tabling these plans in Parliament allows parliamentarians and Canadians to track progress towards stated priorities and better hold government to account in how it uses resources to achieve results.
