This section presents key financial information for the 2008-2011 period, as well as information on other reporting requirements. The financial information presented typically includes forecast spending for 2007-2008 and planned spending for each of the three years in the planning period.
Note that figures are rounded to the nearest millions of dollars. Figures that cannot be listed in millions are shown as 0.0, and the value 0 is shown as a dash (-).
Each of these areas is associated with a number of outcomes that the federal government is working to achieve. The following table shows the relationship between the Government of Canada outcomes, as established in the Whole of Government Framework, and DFO's strategic outcomes and program activities.
