There are several reasons why the Privy Council Office engages in coordination activities involving several departments. Sometimes it is to reduce overlap. As I explained, the Privy Council Office has designed a website in which all the information is integrated. This way, it is not spread over many websites, which makes it more difficult to find. Consequently, any Canadian, an entrepreneur or an association would not have to look through the website of many departments to find out which program or project could be useful under the economic action plan.
Further, everything is coordinated to make it easier for Canadians to access information more quickly. Indeed, we wanted there to be two main aspects to coordination, namely to ensure that projects and initiatives are launched quickly and to ensure that Canadians are informed about these initiatives.
As you mentioned, there is a third mechanism, which consists in ensuring that the presentation and identity of the federal image is respected within all of the communication activities. In the case of initiatives which span all of government, this coordination is the responsibility of the Privy Council Office, more specifically the Treasury Board Secretariat. We want to make sure that the use of official symbols is respected.
