Three Key Strategies

This graphic illustrates that Industry Canada delivers its mandate through three interdependent and mutually reinforcing key strategies: advancing the marketplace; fostering the knowledge-based economy; and supporting business.


How Industry Canada Fulfills its Mandate

This chart illustrates the relationship between Government of Canada outcomes and Industry Canada’s three strategic outcomes, three key strategies, various program activities and strategic enablers. Industry Canada has established three strategic outcomes — the Canadian marketplace is efficient and competitive; science and technology, knowledge, and innovation are effective drivers of a strong Canadian economy; and competitive businesses are drivers of sustainable wealth creation — which are driven by and contribute to the Government of Canada’s outcomes in the areas of economic and international affairs, such as a fair and secure marketplace; an innovative and knowledge-based economy; strong economic growth; and a strong and mutually beneficial North America. Industry Canada uses three key strategies — advancing the marketplace; fostering the knowledge-based economy; and supporting business — to achieve its strategic outcomes, which enable the Department to fulfill its mandate to help make Canadian industry more productive and competitive in the global economy, thus improving the economic and social well-being of Canadians. Industry Canada undertakes a variety of program activities to deliver its key strategies and contribute to achieving the Department’s strategic outcomes. Industry Canada’s strategic enablers — people management, stewardship, management of information and technology, and communications and engagement — support delivery of the Department’s program activities and key strategies, and serve as the foundation for achieving its strategic outcomes.


Government of Canada Outcome: A fair and secure marketplace

This chart illustrates the linkage between the Government of Canada Outcome “A fair and secure marketplace” and Industry Canada’s Strategic Outcome “The Canadian marketplace is efficient and competitive.” The chart also shows that Industry Canada’s key strategy “Advancing the Marketplace through Economic Framework Policies” — which states that Industry Canada develops and administers economic framework policies that promote competition and innovation, and instill confidence among consumers, investors and business — helps to achieve the Department’s strategic outcome and, in turn, advances the Government of Canada outcome.


Human Resources by Program Activity (2940.6 full-time equivalents)

This pie chart shows that human resources allocated to the key strategy "advancing the marketplace" are distributed among four program activities: 61 percent for marketplace frameworks and regulations (1779.6 full-time equivalents); 23 percent for marketplace frameworks and regulations for spectrum, telecommunications and the online economy (686 full-time equivalents); 1 percent for the consumer affairs program (23 full-time equivalents); and 15 percent for competition law enforcement and advocacy (452 full-time equivalents).


Departmental Spending by Program Activity ($206.2 million)

This pie chart shows that departmental spending under the key strategy "advancing the marketplace" is distributed among four program activities: 32 percent for marketplace frameworks and regulations ($66.1 million); 42 percent for marketplace frameworks and regulations for spectrum, telecommunications and the online economy ($87.2 million); 3 percent for the consumer affairs program ($6.0 million); and 23 percent for competition law enforcement and advocacy ($46.7 million).


Government of Canada Outcome: An innovative and knowledge-based economy

This chart illustrates the linkage between the Government of Canada Outcome “An innovative and knowledge-based economy” and Industry Canada’s Strategic Outcome “Science and technology, knowledge and innovation are effective drivers of a strong Canadian economy.” The chart also shows that Industry Canada’s key strategy “Fostering the Knowledge-Based Economy through Enhanced Research, Innovation, Training and Skills” — which advocates strategic investment in science and technology to create new knowledge and equip Canadians with the skills and training they need to compete in the global knowledge-based economy — helps to achieve the Department’s strategic outcome and, in turn, advances the Government of Canada outcome.

Government of Canada Outcome: Strong economic growth and a strong and mutually beneficial North American partnership

This chart illustrates the linkage between the Government of Canada Outcome “Strong economic growth and a strong and mutually beneficial North American Partnership” and Industry Canada’s Strategic Outcome “Competitive businesses are drivers of sustainable wealth creation.” The chart also shows that Industry Canada’s key strategy “Supporting Businesses through Policies and Program that Promote Competitiveness and Productivity” — which advocates promotion of business innovation and productivity to create wealth and generate jobs — helps to achieve the Department’s strategic outcome and, in turn, advances the Government of Canada outcome.


Human Resources by Program Activity (575.9 full-time equivalents)
