Highlights of the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat’s results

• Worked on creating a new Treasury Board Policy on Communications and Federal Identity, which took effect May 11, 2016. The new policy gives government departments more options for engaging with Canadians in today’s digital environment.
• Laid the groundwork for public consultations on Open Government and access to information.
• Developed a strategy to improve cost estimating in the federal government, which will help make cost information more transparent and of a high quality to better support decision making.
• Laid the groundwork for a new Treasury Board Policy on Results, which took effect July 1, 2016. The new policy will strengthen the federal government’s ability to deliver results and to demonstrate how tax dollars contribute to outcomes for Canadians.
• Demonstrated commitment to good‑faith bargaining by introducing legislation on February 2, 2016, to repeal Bill C-59, which had provided the government with the authority to unilaterally override the collective bargaining process and impose a new sick leave system on the public service.
