Annex 2 - Delivering Results for Canadians
In November 2015, the Government set out to achieve 289 commitments as set out in mandate letters sent from the Prime Minister to each Cabinet Minister, each of which was focused on delivering real results for Canadians. These commitments have been openly shared with Canadians, and their progress has been tracked regularly and reported to Canadians through the website.
Over the last three years, the Government has worked hard to take action and ensure progress against each of its commitments, making real change in the lives of middle class Canadians and those working hard to join it. Of the commitments made in 2015, ninety-seven have been successfully completed, including, for example, the new Canada Child Benefit and the middle class tax cut, while 189 more have had action taken and progress made.
Building on its original commitments in 2015, the Government has also released a number of new commitments, bringing the total made since 2015 to 427. This Fall Economic Statement will enable further progress on 33 of the 427 commitments. A full breakdown of progress against each of these commitments is included below.
Further information on the specific actions taken on each of the 427 commitments can be found by visiting the website.
