	Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited)

	Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada

	1. Authority and objectives
	The Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada (PSEPC) was created in 2003 to ensure coordination across all federal departments and agencies responsible for national security and the safety of Canadians. The department operates under the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Act (2005, c.10) that received Royal assent on March 23, 2005. PSEPC contributes to the public safety of Canadians through the promotion and maintenance of a just, peaceful and safe society; it has three main core activities:
	Community Safety and Partnerships: providing national public safety leadership, protecting the security of Canadians, enhancing the role of Canadians in community safety and security; Emergency Management and National Security: delivering a broad range of national emergency preparedness, and critical infrastructure protection; and Policing and Law Enforcement: providing leadership and strategic policy advice with respect to policing policy and public safety interoperability.

	2. Significant accounting policies
	The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies which are consistent with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector. Significant accounting policies are as follows: *(a) Parliamentary appropriations* PSEPC is financed by the Government of Canada through Parliamentary appropriations. Appropriations provided to the department do not parallel financial reporting according to generally accepted accounting principles since appropriations are primarily based on cash flow requirements. Consequently, items recognized in the statement of operations and the statement of financial position are not necessarily the same as those provided through appropriations from Parliament. Note 3 provides a high-level reconciliation between the bases of reporting. *(b) Net Cash Provided by Government* PSEPC operates within the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), which is administered by the Receiver General for Canada. All cash received by the department is deposited to the CRF and all cash disbursements made by the department are paid from the CRF. The net cash provided by Government is the difference between all cash receipts and all cash disbursements including transactions between departments of the federal government.

	Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited)

	Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada
	2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
	*(c) Change in net position in the Consolidated Revenue Fund* The change in net position in the Consolidated Revenue Fund is the difference between the net cash provided by Government and appropriations used in a year, excluding the amount of non respendable revenue recorded by the department. It results from timing differences between when a transaction affects appropriations and when it is processed through the CRF. *(d) Revenues* Revenues are accounted for in the period in which the underlying transaction or event occurred that gave rise to the revenues. Revenues include access to information program (ATIP) fees, employees' parking fees etc. *(e) Expenses* Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis:
	Grants are recognized in the year in which the conditions for payment are met. In the case of grants which do not form part of an existing program, the expense is recognized when the Government announces a decision to make a non-recurring transfer, provided the enabling legislation or authorization for payment receives parliamentary approval prior to the completion of the financial statements; Contributions are recognized in the year in which the recipient has met the eligibility criteria or fulfilled the terms of a contractual transfer agreement; Vacation pay and compensatory leave are expensed as the benefits accrue to employees under their respective terms of employment. Services provided without charge by other government departments for accommodation, the employer's contribution to the health and dental insurance plans and legal services are recorded as operating expenses at their estimated cost.
	*(f) Employee future benefits*
	*Pension benefits:* Eligible employees participate in the Public Service Pension Plan, a multiemployer plan administered by the Government of Canada. The department's contributions to the Plan are charged to expenses in the year incurred and represent the total departmental obligation to the Plan. Current legislation does not require the department to make contributions for any actuarial deficiencies of the Plan.
	*Severance benefits:* Employees are entitled to severance benefits under labour contracts or conditions of employment. These benefits are accrued as employees render the services necessary to earn them. The obligation relating to the benefits earned by employees is calculated using information derived from the results of the actuarially determined liability for employee severance benefits for the Government as a whole.

	Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada

	2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
	*(g) Receivables* Accounts receivables are stated at amounts expected to be ultimately realized; a provision is made for receivables where recovery is considered uncertain.
	*(h) Tangible capital assets* All tangible capital assets and leasehold improvements having an initial cost of $10,000 or more are recorded at their acquisition cost. The department does not capitalize intangibles, works of art and historical treasures that have cultural, aesthetic or historical value, assets located on Indian Reserves and museum collections. Amortization of tangible capital assets is done on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
	Asset Class	Amortization Period
	Informatics hardware Informatics software Motor Vehicles Leasehold improvements	4 years 3 years 3 years remaining term of the lease or useful life of the improvement
	*(i) Measurement uncertainty* The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies which are consistent with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the financial statements. At the time of preparation of these statements, management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable. The most significant items where estimates are used are the liability for employee severance benefits and the useful life of tangible capital assets. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimated. Management's estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are recorded in the financial statements in the year they become known.

3. Parliamentary appropriations
PSEPC receives its funding through annual Parliamentary appropriations. Items recognized in the statement of operations and the statement of financial position in one year may be funded through Parliamentary appropriations in prior, current or future years. Accordingly, PSEPC has different net results of operations for the year on a government funding basis than on an accrual accounting basis. The differences are reconciled in the following tables:

Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited)

Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada

7. Employee benefits
*a) Pension benefits* PSEPC's employees participate in the Public Service Pension Plan, which is sponsored and administered by the Government of Canada. Pension benefits accrue up to a maximum period of 35 years at a rate of 2 percent per year of pensionable service, times the average of the best five consecutive years of earnings. The benefits are integrated with Canada/Qu�bec Pension Plans benefits and they are indexed to inflation. Both the employees and the department contribute to the cost of the Plan. The 2006-07 expense amounts to $7,538,416 ($7,918,355 in 2005-06), which represents approximately 2.2 times (2.6 in 2005-06) the contributions by employees.
PSEPC's responsibility with regard to the Plan is limited to its contributions. Actuarial surpluses or deficiencies are recognized in the financial statements of the Government of Canada, as the Plan's sponsor. *(b) Severance benefits* PSEPC provides severance benefits to its employees based on eligibility, years of service and final salary. The accrued benefit obligation at the end of the year is calculated by multiplying a ratio (23.20% for 2006 and 23.64% for 2007) to the department's annual gross payroll at year end subject to severance pay, which is the payroll related to indeterminate employees. The ratios are determined by Treasury Board Secretariat. These severance benefits are not pre-funded. Benefits will be paid from future appropriations. Information about the severance benefits, measured as at March 31, is as follows:

(in dollars)	2007	2006
Accrued benefit obligation, beginning of year Expense for the year Benefits paid during the year	10,329,989 1,943,591 (827,649)	8,741,140 3,200,413 (1,611,564)
Accrued benefit obligation, end of year	11,445,931	10,329,989

8. Related party transactions
The department is related as a result of common ownership to all Government of Canada departments, agencies, and Crown corporations. The department enters into transactions with these entities in the normal course of business and on normal trade terms. Also, during the year, the department received services which were obtained without charge from other Government departments as presented in part (a). *(a) Services received without charge from other government departments* During the year the department received without charge from other departments. These services have been recognized in the department's Statement of Operations as follows:
(in dollars)	2007	See note 11 2006
Accommodation Employer's contribution to the health and dental insurance plans Worker's compensation coverage Legal services provided by Justice Canada without charges	7,680,133 4,907,479 7,550 917,861	7,023,948 4,780,227 7,517 1,058,140
	13,513,023	12,869,832
The Government has structured some of its administrative activities for efficiency and cost-effectiveness purposes so that one department performs these on behalf of all without charge. The costs of these services, which include payroll and cheque issuance services provided by Public Works and Government Services Canada, are not included as an expense in the department's Statement of Operations. *(b) Payables and receivables outstanding at year-end with related parties:*
(in dollars)	2007	2006
Accounts receivable with other government departments and agencies Accounts payable to other government departments and agencies	3,278,031 11,223,722	3,722,652 4,602,821

9. Capitalization of Assets purchased in Fiscal year 2005-06
In fiscal year 2006-07, a leasehold improvement to the PSEPC's Head Office building at 269 Laurier Avenue, Ottawa, that should have been capitalized in fiscal year 2005-06, was identified. A decision has been made to complete a post capitalization of the leasehold improvement during fiscal year 2006-07. The related cost is $7,551,000.

10. Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements Program (DFAA)
In the event of a natural disaster in Canada, the federal government provides financial assistance to provincial and territorial governments through the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements Program to help meet the basic costs of response and recovery when such expenditures exceed what an individual province or territory could reasonably be expected to bear on its own. The current outstanding liabilities of $575M is the estimated cost of 41 natural disaster events for which the Federal Government has agreed to share the costs and final payments have not yet been made.
(in dollars)	2007	2006
Opening balance Disbursements Accrued expenses for the year	559,390,034 (31,679,253) 47,815,058	529,109,170 (125,347,879) 155,628,743
Closing balance	575,525,839	559,390,034

11. Comparative information
Comparative figures have been restated to conform to the current year's presentation. The services provided without charge included in the financial statements of fiscal year 2005-06 have been restated to reflect the actual costs. The effect is an increase in salaries and employee benefits, professional and special services and accommodation costs on the statement of operations. The restatements are also reflected on the statement of cash flow but do not affect the net cash provided by the government, the appropriation used or the equity of Canada.

Grant and Contribution Programs Administered by Public Safety Canada

Under the First Nations Policing Policy (FNPP), Public Safety negotiates, implements, administers and monitors tripartite agreements for First Nations policing services. The First Nations policing services are culturally appropriate and responsive to the particular needs of First Nations and Inuit communities and are cost-shared 52% by Canada and 48% by the province/territory.
The Joint Emergency Preparedness Program (JEPP) was established to enhance the national capability to manage all types of emergencies and convey a reasonably uniform emergency response and recovery capacity across Canada. National capabilities are enhanced through training activities, the purchase of emergency response equipment and joint emergency planning.
The National Crime Prevention Centre provides national leadership on effective and cost-effective ways to prevent and reduce crime and victimization by addressing known risk factors in high risk populations and places. Under the National Crime Prevention Strategy, there are three funds:
1. The Crime Prevention Action Fund (CPAF) supports the development and implementation of crime prevention initiatives aimed at reducing crime and victimization in communities large and small. It promotes cross-sector collaboration in crime prevention, engaging sectors such as policing, community health, voluntary and private sectors. It is a federal program that is delivered regionally in partnerships with provincial and territorial governments, and nationally for those projects involving more than one jurisdiction. This fund will also support projects that were previously funded under the Policing, Corrections and Communities Fund.
2. The Research and Knowledge Development Fund (RKDF) supports innovative and promising interventions with at-risk populations and in specific communities to contribute to the development of the knowledge base of effective and successful practices. It also supports robust evaluations of pilot and demonstration projects and knowledge transfer activities to foster the application of good practices across the country.
3. The Youth Gang Prevention Fund (YGPF) provides time-limited funding for anti-gang initiatives in communities where youth gangs are an existing or emerging threat. It supports the development and implementation of tailored interventions aimed at youth who are in gangs or at risk of joining gangs to improve community safety and prevention of crime and victimization; it will also support the knowledge and evidence-based community interventions that target gun violence and gang-related issues by tackling its root causes.
Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements (DFAA) assist provinces and territories to offset the costs of response and of returning infrastructure and personal property to pre-disaster condition.
The Joint Infrastructure Interdependencies Research Program (JIIRP) is jointly funded with the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). The ultimate outcome of the JIIRP is to produce new science-based knowledge and practices to better assess, manage and mitigate risks to Canadians from critical infrastructure interdependencies by funding innovative research projects with an emphasis on cross-disciplinary research.
The Policy Development Contributions Program (formerly known as the Departmental Contributions Program) supports policy development through allocations to public not-for-profit organizations in support of Public Safety priorities under the following categories:
1. communication / information exchange projects;
2. innovation and research projects that support innovative approaches and the acquisition of knowledge and the ability to translate knowledge into action for communities and community-based organizations; and
3. training and skills development projects.
The Public Safety Canada Research Fellowship Program in Honour of Stuart Nesbitt White seeks to encourage Ph.D. research in two key areas:
1. cyber security relating to critical infrastructure protection, preferably in disciplines such as computer/software/electrical/mechanical engineering, computer science, and/or areas such as systems science, and risk modeling and management; and
2. disaster and emergency management, and physical critical infrastructure studies, preferably in disciplines such as urban and regional planning, geography, sociology, economics, engineering, environmental sciences, and/or areas such as risk assessment and modeling.
The Workers Compensation Program provides funding to provinces and territories, based on a 75% federal and 25% provincial/territorial cost sharing ratio, to compensate volunteer emergency service workers injured or killed in the course of emergency service training or work.
The Sustaining Funding Program (SFP) for National Voluntary Organizations (NVOs) provides grants to thirteen NVOs in order to cover core operating expenses and to maintain a national structure. These organizations provide policy advice to the Department and Portfolio agencies, and also provide public education activities and participate in community public safety initiatives.
