Departmental Planning and Performance Reports

Each spring, Environment Canada produces an annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) that provides parliamentarians and Canadians with a high-level summary of the department's plans and priorities for the next three years. Each fall, the Department produces an annual Departmental Performance Report (DPR) that provides parliamentarians and Canadians with a strategic overview of the Department's performance and achievements in the past fiscal year.

Reports on Plans and Priorities

Reports on Plans and Priorities (RPPs) are primary instruments of accountability to Parliament. They are annual expenditure plans that provide information on departmental strategic outcomes and program activities, plans and priorities, expected results, performance indicators and resource requirements on a three-year basis. Reports on Plans and Priorities (RPPs) are tabled in Parliament each spring by the President of the Treasury Board on behalf of the responsible ministers.

Departmental Performance Reports

Departmental Performance Reports (DPRs) are primary instruments of accountability to Parliament. They are individual departmental and agency accounts of the results that they achieved against the expected results that they identified in their corresponding Report on Plans and Priorities (RPPs). DPRs are tabled each fall by the President of the Treasury Board on behalf of the responsible ministers.

Departmental Unaudited Financial Statements

Environment Canada's unaudited financial statements are a key public financial report, and are published yearly in the fall as part of the Departmental Performance Report. They are produced on a basis consistent with the department's annual Public Accounts Volume II submissions, which are consolidated with the Government of Canada Public Accounts.

Quarterly Financial Reports

The Canadian federal government uses financial information as a strategic business resource to support decision-making and management activities, policy development, program and service delivery, evidential needs and for historical purposes.

Parliament and Canadians expect the federal government to be well managed including decision-making based on reporting which is supported by integrated financial and related non-financial information. They also expect timely and reliable reporting that provides transparency and accountability as to how government spends public funds to achieve results for Canadians.

The Treasury Board Secretariat Policy on Financial Resource Management, Information and Reporting requires that departments, agencies and Crown corporations publish a quarterly financial report for the first three quarters of each fiscal year, starting April 1, 2011.
