addressing chronic budgetary shortfalls and financial pressures, identifying a permanent source of funds for contributing
to government-wide reallocation and generating financial flexibility to address new priorities. The Department will ensure
the decisions made in the coming years consistently reflect these aims. ... DFO will realize additional corporate savings
and efficiencies and position the Department to continue to support services to Canadians. Within this context, DFO will undertake
a number of initiatives to ensure that ongoing operations are sustainable. The Department will develop a strategic management
plan for information management and technology, which includes a focus on renewed governance, within DFO and with stakeholders,
to ensure program sustainability. DFO will also develop a business case for information technology infrastructure rationalization
that will capitalize on potential to streamline and achieve future and ongoing savings in the management of DFO's information
technology infrastructure.DFO has also been working on possible new directions for the Small Craft Harbours Program. A new
direction is intended to place the Program on a more sustainable basis, while addressing evolving program requirements and
client needs. These development efforts will continue to be a priority. Possible program adjustments will be pursued, in collaboration
with clients, on an opportunity basis.
