- Due to the size of the Department and its adaptation capacity, the specified targets will apply to the entirety of the organization, regardless of building occupancy levels, space configurations, and percentage of office employees' considerations, where security considerations allow.
- Method for Tracking Printing Units: A mix of both network inventory and physical count will enable the target lead to track the number of printing units.
- Method for Tracking Office Employees: Annual Departmental Performance Report. As of March 31st, 2012, there are approximately 4,252 employees – excluding Justice Employees working in other Federal Departments and Agencies.
- Implementation Strategies:
- FY 2010-11: In the spring of 2010, Justice Canada completed Phase I of a Print Management Strategy, which was an independent reporting and auditing of, and recommendations for, all print-capable devices within the NCR. The NCR was chosen for the initial audit as it represents approximately 50% of the Department's staff nationally.
- FY 2011-12: Phase 2 of the strategy will be the continuation of the audit and analysis in the other regional sites, as well as the implementation of recommendations of Phase I.
