The Central & Arctic region faces unique challenges because of its geographical positioning and size (bounded by 71% of Canada's coast line and encompassing 64% of Canada). In addition, there are unique challenges associated with the Arctic clients who are highly dependent on marine based transportation systems for re-supply. In addition, consultations with aboriginal clients are ongoing regarding fisheries resources, settlement of land claims and the impact of self-government. These too will have an impact on the Coast Guard. The position of the region relative to the United States also presents unique operational context in that many of the services delivered must be done so in concert with the United States Coast Guard. The Region is entering a new era with respect to relationships with its' clients. An extensive consultation process is evolving simultaneously with a dramatic increase in the organization's reliance on cost recovery to fund the programs. Occurring at the same time is the implementation of a new management and resource delegation model both of which have a significant impact on the assignment of regional resources, and the reporting & accountabilities structures. The coming year will also be the most difficult from a funding perspective, in that there will be a $6 million reduction in available refunds as a result of Program Review. Core to the regions strategy for the next year is the development of a financial and performance management strategy that will provide a basis for dealing with cost recovery, resource allocation, and the business planning process. This document outlines the management framework and the operating environment of the Central & Arctic Region. This sets the context for providing an overview of the fundamental issues & strategies in the region, as well as a description of each of the business lines and the main issues within those business lines. Attached as an Appendix is a matrix that details for each service line, the priorities, issues & challenges; and performance measurement criteria for each of the specific objectives. This is the culmination of the first comprehensive business planning process to take place within the region. It represents the first step towards the development of a strategic management system that will act as a vehicle for resource allocation, performance management and strategic evaluation. It is expected that an update to this plan will be issued sometime during the summer of 1997. (Au)"--ASTIS [online] database.
