The public and government need assurance that the desired outcomes and results are being achieved. Performance measures will be used to assess whether or not established outcomes (provincial and local) and policies have been met, and the relative success of government initiatives and programs. Goals, objectives, and performance targets will be jointly developed and continuously improved with other ministries, levels of government, the regulated community, NGO’s, aboriginal groups and the general public and will be enshrined in legislated government wide plans. The pulp and paper sector is one of the largest sources of industrial wastewater.
