Environment Canada's Technology Role
Environment Canada's Technology Role: A Supplement to Environment Canada's Science Plan (2007) describes the Department's technology and technological activities and how this work enables delivery of the Department's mandate, including those activities that are critical to meeting its legislated obligations. The Department's technology role is comprised of three functions:
1. Access and/or develop the technology needed to monitor and comprehend the environment;
2. Understand the environmental impacts of technology use; and
3. Generate and maintain the technical knowledge and foresight needed to develop environmentally sound regulations, programs, and policies.
Publication of this supplement is the first step towards delivering on the commitment made in the 2008-2009 Departmental Reports on Plans and Priorities, and in the Science Plan itself, to integrate a departmental technology plan with the Science Plan. Full integration of EC's technology plan into the Science Plan will occur during a comprehensive five-year review scheduled for 2012, with the Science Plan being renamed Environment Canada's Science and Technology Plan at that time.
