Following this table is a chart of four immediate outcomes (key results):

Prevention Early Detection Response Planning Engagement
Entry of new invasive plants and plant pests is managed in a risk-based manner. 1 New invasive plants and plant pests and the spread of domestic alien plants and plant pests are detected within Canada Response to new invasive plants and plant pests is planned Increased stakeholder awareness and access to information on plant pests/diseases and prevention control strategies

Following this table is a chart of three intermediate outcomes (strategic outcomes) for:
