2 | Performance Our non-financial performance framework is the basis for measuring and assessing department and program performance in contributing to government policy objectives. Each year we will report performance criteria for key results areas across two tiers of program and cross-program outcome indicators for each Purpose Statement (see Table 1). Details of the program measurement information we will use to report the outcome indicators can be found on our website. We will supplement this reporting by evaluations, reviews and additional analysis. We do not have targets as contributing payments and services are demand driven. We will report actual performance in our 2016-17 Annual Report. Results for previous years are available in those years’ Annual Reports. Performance criteria and outcome indicators described in this Corporate Plan should be read along with program financial, performance and target information published in our 201617 Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS) to provide our complete performance story. Both the Corporate Plan purpose performance criteria and PBS program performance criteria will be reported in our 201617 Annual Performance Statement.
