Section II: Analysis by Strategic Outcome
2.1 Reporting Using Program Activity Architecture (PAA)
The NRTEE has elected to report its performance using its new Program Activity Architecture (PAA). Since the RPP 2004-2005, the NRTEE has modified its overarching strategic outcome. As well, the priorities identified in the RPP 2004-2005 now closely correspond to the agency’s activities in the PAA. Figure 1 illustrates the trajectory of these changes.

The NRTEE is not yet in a position to report on all the performance indicators identified in the new PAA (as explained in more detail below). Furthermore, based on a recent assessment of its evaluation process (see Section 2.2 below), the NRTEE is reconsidering whether the indicators in the PAA are the most appropriate for its organization. For this DPR, we have used a combination of the PAA indicators and those applied in past reporting periods, as illustrated in the expanded crosswalks in Section 2.4 below.
Figure 2 shows how the NRTEE results chain has been adjusted to reflect the PAA and the associated modified strategic outcome and activities.
