History and lineage

First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2018-19. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).

Bars: spending by fiscal year (dark: actual; light: actual restated on the 2017-18 program structure; outlined: the latest plan's forecast; grey: related programs). Bands: each program in the lineage over the years it has data.

Trade, Investment and International Economic Policy	This program	2018-19 – 2020-21	$21.5M

Success criteria

The program's indicators from its department's Departmental Results Framework: the target set in each year's plan, and the result reported the following year. Source: GC InfoBase.

Historical: targets against results

Average number of stakeholders (internal and external) that were formally consulted in the development of significant economic policies, initiatives, and advice.

Expected result: Increased coordination, integration, and consultation (including with external stakeholders) in development of policies, programming, initiatives, and advice.

Report year	Target	Due	Result	Status
2018-19	To be determined	—	133 Establishing a target for this indicator is not appropriate as the need for, and type of, consultations is variable.	No result reported

Current: the 2026-27 plan's targets

No indicators in the 2026-27 plan.

Future goals: targets due after 2026-27

No targets with a later due date.
