When it comes to all the initiatives, the challenge is to collect information and be able to make a report afterwards. If there are delays, it is more difficult for the department to make a report. In the context of the entry/exit initiative, I believe that departments and agencies have already reported on the indicators I mentioned. It remains to be seen whether, once the initiative has been implemented, the department will be able to develop those indicators and collect the required information.
Concerning all the initiatives, the biggest challenge consists in collecting information beyond activities and deliverables. Departments often tend to say that they held a meeting and developed a policy. Those are not really long-term performance measurements used to show the benefits of the beyond the border initiative.
