5. Results-based Framework
Speaker Notes: Welcome
Results-based Framework
Government (“the Minister”)
Range Act Agreement Holders
Range Act Agreement
Objectives and Issues Set By Government
Plan Actions & Strategies (RUP/RSP)
Conduct Activities (Range Practices)
Compliance & Enforcement
Monitor
To give you a general idea, here is the framework for our workshop:
The cycle for all Range Act Agreements consists of the following key steps:
Objectives and issues are set by Government to conserve the FRPA values – this will be covered in the FRPA Overview topic.
Actions and Strategies are set by Range agreement holders in their plans to meet those objectives and issues– this will be covered in the Range Planning topic. RSP holders must set up a process to monitor practices. (Ref. Sec. 14(3) of RPPR)
Range agreement holders conduct their activities to achieve the results and strategies contained in their approved plan, as well as follow the practice requirements contained in the Act and regulation – this will be covered in the Range Practices topics.
Monitoring is conducted to ensure that the practices are achieving the results and strategies of the plan. Compliance & enforcement activities are conducted to ensure the plan and the requirements of the regulation and the Act are followed– this will be covered in the Compliance & Enforcement topic.
Throughout the workshop we will be reviewing each of these aspects of this Range Cycle in detail.
