Appendix 3: Table of Changes — 2005/06 Update Compared to 2006/07

The 2006/07 Service Plan was substantially reworked from the September 2005/06 Update. The 2006/07 plan is now more focused, strategic and reflective of the Ministry's mandate. In order to reflect this change in emphasis, the Ministry refocused its vision mission and values during the 2006/07 planning cycle. It departed from selecting goals by core business area and included corporate goals for which all areas of the Ministry are accountable. New performance measures were developed to show how these goals will be supported.

The following table shows the differences between the vision, mission and values from the 2005/06 Service Plan Update and the 2006/07 Service Plan:

  • The left side reflects the 05/06 – 07/08 Service Plan Update (September 2005) vision, mission and values.
  • The right side reflects the 06/07 – 08/09 Service Plan (February 2006) vision, mission and values.
