Treasury Board is very much in the wheelhouse of establishing metrics with departments and agencies and measuring milestones and results. This is something we can do better, and we want to do better, and we will do better, in working closely with departments.
In government, typically we focus 90% of the effort on getting a policy right, and we assume that the results will just happen. The reality is that if you get the policy right, that may represent about 10% of success, but the 90% is actually execution. We know that at Treasury Board. These kinds of investments are designed to increase our capacity to deliver results, working with departments and agencies.
We are committed, and our Prime Minister is very committed, to ensuring that all the investments made by government, and particularly new investments consistent with our mandate letters as ministers, will be honoured and that we will deliver results. Treasury Board is central to that. These are the kinds of investments required to actually do this sort of analysis and put in place the kind of results-focused milestones and structures to ensure results.
