After the agency completes and assesses the IA (steps 2 and 3), the IA is provided to the decision‑maker to inform the key decision.
Key decisions are not limited to Cabinet decisions. They may also arise through other processes, including where a minister (or delegate) makes a decision that gives effect to, or implements, an in-scope proposal. Key decisions may include decisions to proceed with a preferred policy option, narrow the range of policy options under consideration, or authorise significant policy or regulatory action.
