3.3 Response to Parliamentary Committees, Audits and Evaluations


Responses to the Auditor General (including to the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development)
Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development – Petitions

The environmental petitions process is a formal way for Canadians to bring concerns about the environment and sustainable development to the attention of federal ministers and obtain a timely response.

The environmental petitions process was created as a result of a 1995 amendment to the Auditor General Act. On behalf of the Auditor General of Canada, the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development manages the petitions process and monitors responses by making sure that the questions and issues that Canadians raise are answered by federal ministers.

The Minister responded to the following petitions in 2006-07:

Petition No. 167 – Alternative Fuels Act
Petition No. 170 – Friends to the Earth
Petition No. 171 – Bio Vectra, Targeted Biopharmaceutical Solutions

3.4 Sustainable Development Strategy


Details of Industry Canada's Sustainable Development Strategy
1. What are the key goals, objectives, and/or long-term targets of the SDS? Industry Canada tabled its fourth Sustainable Development Strategy 2006-2009 (SDS IV) in December 2006. SDS IV supports a competitive economy and aims to position Industry Canada as a leader in supporting sustainable development technologies and practices for business and consumers. To achieve these objectives, SDS IV aims to achieve three strategic outcomes: sustainability-driven technologies and commercialization; sustainability tools, practices, research and awareness; and sustainability practices and operations within Industry Canada. The strategic outcomes represent the long-term benefits to stakeholders that can be derived from the implementation of the Department's Sustainable Development Strategy.
2. How do your key goals, objectives, and/or long-term targets help achieve your department's strategic outcomes? SDS IV's strategic outcomes are aligned with the Department's strategic outcomes. The Department is committed to establishing a fair, efficient and competitive marketplace, which helps to establish a robust business environment that encourages R&D investment and entrepreneurship. SDS IV's strategic outcome of "sustainability tools, practices, research and awareness" supports the implementation of business sustainability strategies designed to reduce risk, manage liabilities, improve productivity performance, and respond to consumer demands for sustainable products and services.

The Department is committed to promoting an innovative economy, which drives science and technology progress and ensures that discoveries made in Canada contribute to the quality of life of Canadians. SDS IV's strategic outcome of "sustainability-driven technologies and commercialization" supports investment in the generation and commercialization of knowledge, in support of the development of environmental and enabling technologies.

The Department is committed to supporting the development of competitive industry and sustainable communities, which promotes business investment and development, long-term growth and sustainable development. SDS IV's strategic outcome of "sustainability tools, practices, research and awareness" supports the adoption of sustainability-enhancing business-process-improvement tools and practices, and responds to heightened consumer demands for products and services that are more sustainable.

The third strategic outcome of SDS IV, "implementing sustainability practices and operations within Industry Canada," contributes to the Department's corporate management function by promoting sustainability management systems and processes, greening operations programming, and training and capacity-building initiatives.
3. What were your targets for the reporting period? SDS IV is a three-year Department-wide plan for progressing toward sustainable development. Work will take place on 26 action items on an ongoing basis throughout the three-year period (2006-2009) to achieve the planned outcomes. Each of the three strategic outcomes has a specific target. Target 1: Work in partnership with industry and others to increase development, commercialization, adoption and diffusion of environmental, energy and bio-based technologies. By December 2009, Industry Canada will complete the implementation of nine action plan items. Target 2: Work in partnership with industry, consumers and others to increase use by firms, industries and institutions of sustainability and corporate social responsibility practices, and increased consumer awareness of sustainability issues. By December 2009, 11 action plan items will be completed. Target 3: Enhance the capacity of Industry Canada's management systems by increasing implementation of sustainable operations and practices, and integration of sustainable development principles into departmental planning, performance measurement and evaluation frameworks. By December 2009, six action plan items will be implemented.
4. What is your progress to date? Industry Canada has made progress over the past 10 years in achieving its targets set out in previous SDSs, and it is the Department's goal to continue to improve its work in this area over the period of SDS IV. These efforts will continue to focus on supporting long-term competitiveness through the dissemination of information, tools and practices to Canadian industry and consumers. Industry Canada will also continue to improve the integration of sustainability principles into its planning, performance measurement and evaluation frameworks, and improve its greening operations performance.

SDS IV contains 26 action items, which are designed to deliver on the three strategic outcomes. A total of 11 branches from across Industry Canada are responsible for the implementation of these action items. Highlights from the first reporting period (December 2006–March 31, 2007) include: Biorefineries: Life Sciences Branch developed a Technology Roadmap focusing on technology to enable production of value-added chemicals from under-used materials in the forest sector. Computers for Schools (CFS): Information Highway Applications Branch (IHAB) reported that its program diverted approximately 1,505 tonnes (1,659 imperial tons), of CPUs from landfill through re-use. Greening Operations: The Facilities Management Branch (Environmental Steward) increased employee awareness and promoted green operations by initiating a weekly online article "Environmental Practices." Renewed Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA): Strategic Policy Branch (SPB) launched a renewed SEA guidance document, and a publicly accessible website, including a public statements page. SPB also held a sustainable development training course for 17 departmental employees.
5. What adjustments have you made, if any? (To better set the context for this information, discuss how lessons learned have influenced your adjustments.) Industry Canada's SDS IV contains 26 action items, which will be delivered over the three-year life of the Strategy. Many of the ongoing initiatives of the SDS have been modified to reflect changes in individual branch priorities and resources, and views expressed by stakeholders at consultations. As well, new initiatives have been developed to take into account issues raised by stakeholders and evaluations of past strategies. These adjustments are reported through the Department's monitoring and reporting system. As well, semi-annual Strategy progress reports are submitted to both the Director General Policy Committee and to the Deputy Minister, and highlights are posted online. To date, one round of SDS IV progress reports has been completed.
