Government Letters of Expectations

Every year, the ministry communicates with the public post-secondary institutions to outline the operating budget allocations, service delivery targets and priority issues for the coming fiscal year. The letters are a component of ministry planning and accountability, as identified in the accountability framework. Overall goals and objectives for the Ministry are identified in the annual ministry service plan. Each institution helps achieve those goals and objectives through specific accountabilities set out in the government letters of expectation (GLE).

For fiscal 2009/10, official GLEs were not drafted due to the timing of the provincial election, however informal budget letters were distributed to each post secondary institution.  The Ministry is taking this opportunity to consult with the post secondary institutions in creating the 2010/11 GLE.  The 2009/10 budget documents detailing each institution’s FTE targets and operating transfers are available for 2009/10 and can be found below.

All letters are provided in PDF format. PDF files are viewable with Adobe Acrobat Reader software.
