Note 1: While the Program Activity Architecture in use in 2010–2011 allocated all LAC program activities to the Social Affairs outcome, effective recordkeeping establishes an essential administrative and business foundation within government for services to Canadians. It is an essential element in supporting ministerial and managerial accountability within Canada’s democratic process. Therefore, LAC traditionally noted that Program Activity 1.1 aligned better to the Government Affairs outcome.
