Development of the strategic plan (2007-2012) and the operational plan (2007-2008) for management of data on the Québec Region's fish habitat and coastal zone
The objective of the project is to develop a five-year strategic plan and an annual business plan. Numerous changes have taken place at Fisheries and Oceans Canada in recent years, making the development of such documents a priority for the organization.
Geomatics is already an integral part of the department. However, because of numerous changes, the various processes must be reviewed. Once the existing structure of the ministry is defined, development of the strategic plan will make it possible to characterize the mission, the vision and the various objectives for the next five years. On the basis of this work, a business plan will be developed for 2007-2008. In this way, the Regional Oceans and Habitat Branch will be able to review the strategic plan annually, adjusting it accordingly.
To ensure that the strategic plan meets interoperability objectives, the Fish Habitat and Coastal Zone Data Management section will be responsible for aligning the development of its geospatial infrastructure with CGDI standards. The strategic plan will focus on the aspects of content, service and technology.
