The results-based planning process is linked to the budget and priorities of the government. This planning process is focused on rationalizing government policies, programs and services based on the priorities of Ontarians and measuring outcomes. This marks a real change from the ad-hoc and input-driven planning process of the past. Ministries are developing four-year results-based plans that identify how they will contribute to the achievement of the government's key priorities. Ministries' infrastructure strategies will be consistent with the infrastructure component of their results-based plans.
