Collection, Storage and Analysis of Data Is Widely Dispersed Across Multiple Branches, Program Areas and Regions ()

•	The collection, storage and analysis of data is widely dispersed across multiple branches, program areas and regions within the department.  This has many consequences:
o	Employees face barriers to accessing information they need to perform analysis that will benefit Canadians and the department
o	Privacy controls and transparency of use of data for citizens is inconsistent across data holding and business lines
o	Data from different program areas cannot be linked to accurately and efficiently support necessary, authorized policy insights requested by government
o	Performance reporting, forecasting and workload management are limited and inconsistent across programs.  There are inadequate performance measures that focus on outcomes.
