NRTEE - 2004-2005 Estimates: Part III - Report on Plans and Priorities
SECTION 2: RAISON D'ÊTRE
Economic growth and prosperity are of central importance to Canadians. However, economic activity is placing increasing pressure on the health of the Canadian and global environments. There is an ongoing need to confront this dilemma by channelling rigorous research, stakeholder views and the resulting new knowledge into policy making.
The NRTEE responds to this need by identifying and promoting ways to encourage economic prosperity for all Canadians, while preserving the environment for current and future generations.
The agency's contribution corresponds to two of the four themes set out in Canada's Performance, the President of Treasury Board's annual report to Parliament. These two themes are (1) economic opportunities and innovation in Canada and (2) the Canadian environment.
