Related Initiatives and Planning Processes

Deregulation and Regulatory Reform

Any future legislation, regulations or policy developed by the ministry will continue to build on the foundation of deregulation and will be developed using the regulatory reform policy. This approach will also be balanced against the need to ensure that the information privacy and access rights of the public are safeguarded.

Information Resource Management Plan (IRMP)

Like all ministries, Management Services prepares for the IRMP by establishing strategic directions for the next three years. The ministry has three roles in relation to IRMPs. The ministry is a provider of IM/IT services, a consumer of IM/IT services, and a leader in the area of IM/IT strategic planning, standards and governance.

In its IM/IT leadership role, the Office of the Chief Information Officer issues the IRMP instructions, outlines the government's IM/IT strategic directions and plays a cross-government coordination role. A committee, which includes representatives from the Ministry of Management Services, reviews all IRMPs to ensure that "whole of government" strategies are developed and integrated and that dollars directed to information technology initiatives are allocated appropriately. Activities related to this overarching role are captured under Goal 4.
