Tabling of the 2007-2008 Departmental Performance Reports and Canada's Performance Report

The 2007-2008 Departmental Performance Reports (DPR)and the 2007-08 Canada's Performance Report were tabled on February 5, 2009.

Departmental Performance Reports are reports written by departments and agencies at the end of the fiscal year. They describe what the organization has achieved (it's performance) and how it performed compared to its plans and goals.

Canada's Performance Report is basically a chapeau piece to the Departmental Performance Reports, and tries to combine the performance of all the departments and agencies to create a performance report for the government as a whole. Where DPRs are historically based mostly around what the department achieved, Canada's Performance Report gives a much more social perspective to the results of government spending.
