“Achievement of the goals and objectives in the Strategic Plan will be one of my top priorities between now and 2021, and implementation is already underway. Robust structures have been established to assist implementation, such as the establishment of a Strategic Implementation Committee which will meet regularly to monitor the creation and implementation of operational plans set by those with lead responsibility for delivering the various objectives.”
