The Long Term Vision and Plan Annual Report 2014–15

Our commitment to transparency and accountability

The Long Term Vision and Plan Annual Report for the 2014–15 fiscal year documents the significant work that has been undertaken and the major milestones that have been achieved in advancing the Long Term Vision and Plan (LTVP).

The LTVP was developed as a long-term strategy composed of a vision, a set of principles and a demonstration plan that serve as a tool to help guide future development proposals and address changing priorities. As a guidance document it is reviewed and updated regularly and is supported by a comprehensive implementation framework comprised of rolling five-year programs of work and government approved projects. Only projects in the current five-year program of work are approved and funded. Remaining elements of the plan are subject to adjustment and are not approved or funded.

This annual report is a component of the Parliamentary Precinct Branch's commitment to transparency and accountability in achieving the objectives of the LTVP. It details progress overall, outlines project accomplishments, provides a full picture of how the funds invested in the LTVP have been spent, and demonstrates that this investment has provided good value for money in achieving the objectives that are important to Canadians.

Section 1 outlines the LTVP—what it is, why it is important, and how it is delivered.

Section 2 provides an overview of LTVP progress and outlines the work that has been undertaken in fiscal year 2014–15. Two specific projects are showcased to demonstrate the complexities of this work and highlight the exceptional results.

Section 3 provides detailed LTVP financial information for fiscal year 2014–15.

Section 4 is a series of annexes, including project sheets for six major capital projects and an LTVP risk management assessment and strategies.
