The committee noted that since the previous business plan, the Department of the Executive has made changes in direction within its business plans. The vision statement has changed to:
"Our vision is to contribute to governance within the Northwest Territories by providing superior service to Cabinet, sound advice to departments and innovative, results-oriented leadership within the territorial public service."
Previously, the vision was:
"A healthy population served by a stable, effective, and efficient government that is consistent with Canadian democratic traditions and is respectful of the needs, potential, and aspirations of all residents."
Members indicated that they perceived the change in vision as a shift in focus from people towards a departmental job description.
