Figure 2 (see page 12) illustrates those connections, outlining the
relationships between the Program’s overarching objectives, or desired
results, and the key areas of activity required to achieve those results. The
logic model accommodates the full spectrum of activities undertaken by all
federal institutions and includes: transferring funds; negotiating and signing
agreements; developing partnerships; developing communications messages and
tools; developing policies and guidelines; developing rules and regulations;
and coordinating, monitoring and reporting.
The model describes the Program’s sectoral and
government-wide results as follows:
·
Ultimate
Result (10 to 20 years) — The
ultimate result focuses on the benefits of linguistic duality; opportunities
for Canadians to live and work in communities that reflect Canadian values
with respect to the use of English and French; and access to government
services in the language of choice.
·
Intermediate Results (7 to 10 years) — There are two
horizontal intermediate results. One addresses the capacity of Canadians to
live and work in vibrant communities in their official language of choice and
the other addresses Canadians’ increased awareness and enjoyment of the
benefits of linguistic duality, including access to the services that support
it.
·
Immediate
Results (5 to 7 years) — The
Program’s desired short-term results include:
►
improved access to justice in both
official languages;
►
increased participation in and
improved access to education and learning in support of linguistic duality;
►
improved access to health and
social services in the language of choice;
►
enhanced cultural activities in
support of Canadian identity;
►
strengthened community economic
development and language industries;
►
enhanced community vitality;
►
linguistic duality is reinforced in
the institutions of Canadian society and reflected abroad; and
►
federal institutions’ respect for
and compliance with the Official Languages Act and the Constitution.
