7. Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement)

The Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative (APGCI) aims to strengthen Canada’s competitive position in global commerce. It is an integrated package of investment and policy measures that will advance the capacity and efficiency of the Asia‑Pacific Gateway and Corridor and Canada’s ability to take advantage of it.  It reflects the Government of Canada’s undertaking to work in partnership with provincial governments, private sector leaders and other stakeholders to further develop and exploit the Gateway. The Initiative seeks to establish Canada’s Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor as the best transportation network facilitating global supply chains between North America and Asia, and received additional funding through Budget 2007, bringing total federal commitment to over $1 billion.  

8. Shared Outcome(s)

The following are planned shared outcomes and activities for the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative.

Key areas include: 

  • Gateway’s capacity – strategic infrastructure investments and network improvements.
  • Competitiveness – increase Canada’s share of Asia-Pacific commerce.
  • Efficiency and reliability – improve goods movement throughout the supply chains
  • Security and border efficiency – advance a secure and efficient transportation network between Asia-Pacific region and Canada/North America.
  • 21st century governance & policy renewal – integrative policy frameworks and regulations that better support competitiveness.

Ultimate Outcome:

  • Boost Canada’s commerce with Asia-Pacific region.
  • Increase the Gateway’s share of North American bound container imports from Asia.
  • Improve the efficiency and reliability of the Gateway for Canadian and North American exports.
9. Governance Structure(s)

Two Ministers are jointly responsible for the APGCI.  The Minister for the Pacific Gateway is the political lead, with support in this effort provided by Transport Canada.  As of June 2008, a Secretary of State has been appointed with responsibility for Asia‑Pacific Gateway. The Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities is accountable for the management of the Asia‑Pacific Gateway and Corridor Transportation Infrastructure Fund.

The APGCI is a horizontal initiative and its development and implementation involves a number of other key federal departments/agencies.  An overall Horizontal Performance Framework was provided to the Treasury Board Secretariat as part of the 2006 APGCI Treasury Board submission, and will be amended to include the components of the APGCI Non‑infrastructure Competitiveness Funds. The Horizontal Performance Framework was prepared in collaboration with all the departments /agencies involved in the APGCI. The Framework has been put in place to provide a sound, coordinated and ongoing performance measurement and evaluation strategy to assess the overall process in implementing the initiative.

While each is ultimately accountable for its own programs/activities and associated resources from the APGCI funding, the implicated federal departments/agencies are also responsible for contributing to the overarching objectives of the APGCI.  All federal partners in this initiative are accountable for the day-to-day management of their respective component of the APGCI.  Furthermore, each department/agency is expected to provide regular updates to the Secretary of State and to the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, via the DG-level Interdepartmental Steering Committee on the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative, which is chaired by Transport Canada.  Partner departments and their role in the Initiative are as follow:

TRANSPORT CANADA

Transport Canada (TC), as the lead department, reports to the Secretary of State and to the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.  TC’s Pacific Gateway Coordination Branch (ACKD) is responsible for the on-going coordination, management, integration, and strategic development and implementation of the Initiative overall.  TC is the chair for the internal steering group as well as for the Interdepartmental Steering Committee on the APGCI, with the ACKD branch as the secretariat for both.  Other federal departments and agencies, the four western provinces, and stakeholders from the private sector are consulted and involved in building consensus on issues related to the Initiative.

TC is responsible for the development and implementation of the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Transportation Infrastructure Fund (TIF), whose primary objective is to address capacity challenges facing the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor.  The projects funded under TIF will enhance the competitiveness, efficiency and capacity of Canada’s multi-modal transportation network and will be focused specifically on the movement of international commerce between the Asia-Pacific region and North America.

While transportation infrastructure is at the core, the Initiative also focuses on interconnected issues that impact on the further development and exploitation of the Asia‑Pacific Gateway and Corridor.  A number of non‑infrastructure/competitiveness measures announced at the October 2006 launch of the initiative have been completed or are ongoing, including:

  • The May 2007 International Conference on Gateways and Corridors to advance understanding of the long-term challenges and opportunities of the gateway by tapping into Canadian and international academic expertise;
  • Amalgamation of the three major ports in British Columbia Lower Mainland as part of efforts to foster new approaches to governance;
  • Establishment of the Lower Mainland Trucking Forum to reach recommendations, on a consensus basis, on methods for improving the efficiency of trucking operations at Vancouver ports; and
  • Studies directly related to the Gateway operations and efficiency, to better understand and improve the multi-modal infrastructure network and increase the productivity of the full supply chain.

As approved by Cabinet in December 2007, TC will also be focusing on non-infrastructure measures under the following thematic categories:  A Smarter Gateway and Corridor (including system analysis and performance measurement, expert outreach, international partnerships) and Pro-active Public Engagement.  A third non-infrastructure theme is Skills and Labour Pressures, for which Human Resources and Social Development Canada will be establishing the APGC Skills Table.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE

Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade(DFAIT) Pacific Gateway and 2010 Winter Olympic Games Co-ordinating Group is responsible for the ongoing development and implementation of an international marketing strategy in co‑ordination with all stakeholders.  The objective is to promote greater use of the Gateway as Asia-Pacific travel and supply chain route of choice for North American and Asia-Pacific importers, exporters, investors and transportation companies.

This strategy, developed in consultation with stakeholders, include targeted communication products, outgoing and incoming missions and showcase the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor’s advantages at key trade, investment and technology shows, conferences and seminars in Canada, Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. 

Key DFAIT missions abroad are actively engaged in advancing Canada as the gateway and corridor of choice through dialogue with transportation companies, producers, exporters and/or importers in each of their respective regions to showcase the strengths of the Canadian transportation network, encouraging investment and technology transfer, playing an advocacy role on key APGCI issues such as security and border efficiency, providing intelligence back to Canada to support policy development and help determine what messages resonate in their markets.

DFAIT has established a core group of Trade Commissioners from Asia-Pacific, North American and European missions who have been provided with orientation sessions to ensure their understanding of the gateway and the opportunities it presents for Canada's economy and are, thereby, able to support the government's objective of establishing Canada as the gateway and corridor of choice between North America and Asia-Pacific. 

CANADA BORDER SERVICES AGENCY

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is responsible for the implementation of a marine container inspection operation located at the Port of Prince Rupert, which became operational in Fall 2007.  The marine container inspection operation allows CBSA to develop operations to ensure containers arriving from other countries are properly inspected by means of effective processes and state of the art technology.  

CBSA’s marine container inspection operation plays a vital and strategic role, integrated within the overall Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative.

PARKS CANADA AGENCY

Parks Canada is responsible for the maintenance and recapitalization of highways that pass through national parks, including the Trans Canada Highway (TCH).  The TCH is a major pan-Canadian highway that connects the west coast and its Asia-Pacific linkages to the rest of Canada, especially markets in the western provinces.

Parks Canada is completing process of four-laning (twinning) a 10 km section of the congested TCH through the Banff National Park of Canada that will result in improved capacity and efficiency.  The funding provided by the APGCI has contributed to the timely completion of this section of highway upgrading and hence supports the initiative’s objective of improving the movement of goods through the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor.

WESTERN ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION

The Western Economic Diversification (WD) is responsible for two elements of the APGCI; a business opportunities and awareness‑raising initiative entitled “Seizing the Gateway Opportunity:  Western Canada and the Asia Pacific Challenge”, and funding dredging work on the Fraser River to maintain a competitive shipping channel. 

As part of “Seizing the Gateway Opportunity”, WD is consulting with provincial governments, business and other stakeholders and sponsoring research on the impacts, challenges and opportunities of Asia-Pacific commerce on Western Canada in areas such as business practices and labour.

To support the APGCI, WD has undertaken a range of activities such as workshops, studies and partnerships to explore topics such as Asian market opportunities by industry sector and an assessment of the needs of western small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to effectively compete against Asian firms.

WD has provided a $4 million grant over two years to the Fraser River Port Authority to support dredging activities on the Fraser River shipping channel.  This funding provided the Fraser River Port Authority with the capacity to maintain its existing business and position itself to attract new business, thereby taking advantage of the Asia‑Pacific Gateway opportunities.  This one‑time only measure will enable the port to accommodate the increasingly large shipping vessels, until a long-term solution is developed that would provide for self-sustaining access to port facilities.

  • Safeguarding – Includes clearance programs for marine sector employees working in restricted areas and new detection equipment in Canadian ports to monitor containers; and,
  • Collaboration – Improved coordination and consultation on marine security.

Ultimate Outcome:

  • To improve marine security at Canadian ports, inland waterways and territorial waters.
9. Governance Structure(s)

The Government of Canada created the Interdepartmental Marine Security Working Group (IMSWG), chaired by Transport Canada, to identify and coordinate federal government actions in support of Canada’s objectives concerning public security and anti-terrorism in the marine realm, as well as its international marine security obligations.  Under the guidance of the IMSWG, key departments are responsible for the following:

TRANSPORT CANADA

Leads the Government’s initiatives in marine security enhancements, including:

  • Policy coordination;
  • Chairing the Interdepartmental Marine Security Working Group (IMSWG);
  • Regulatory development in support of marine security initiatives;
  • Marine Security Oversight and Enforcement Program;
  • Marine Transportation Security Clearance Program;
  • Marine Security Contribution Program; and,
  • Participates in the Marine Security Operations Centres (MSOCs).

DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES AND OCEANS/CANADIAN COAST GUARD

DFO/CCG contributes to the enhancement of domain awareness within the Canadian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) through surveillance activities and vessel identification and tracking capabilities. DFO/CCG has increased its airborne surveillance activities, implemented shore-based Automatic Identification System (AIS) infrastructure, and is leading the development of Canada’s Long-Range Vessel Identification and Tracking (LRIT) capability.

In addition, DFO/CCG provides on-water assets and expertise to assist in responding to security incidents in the marine environment, and has increased its level of on-water capacity for this purpose.

DFO/CCG also participates in the Marine Security Operations Centres(MSOCs), contributing departmental data and expertise to enhance domain awareness, and improve coordination and consultation within the marine security community.

PUBLIC SAFETY AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS CANADA

The mandate of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada (PSEPC) is to keep Canadians safe from a range of risks such as natural disasters, crime and terrorism.  To do this, the Department coordinates and supports the efforts of federal organizations ensuring national security and the safety of Canadians.  PSEPC also works with other levels of government, first responders, community groups, the private sector and other countries.

As Canada's lead department for public safety, PSEPC works with five agencies, including the RCMP and CBSA, and three review bodies.  They are united in a single portfolio and report to the same minister.  The result is better integration among federal organizations dealing with national security, emergency management, law enforcement, corrections, crime prevention and border services/enforcement.

CANADA BORDER SERVICES AGENCY

CBSA’s mandate is to manage the country’s borders at ports of entry by administering and enforcing the domestic laws that govern trade and travel, as well as international agreements and conventions.  The work of the CBSA includes identifying and interdicting high-risk individuals and goods, working with law enforcement agencies to maintain border integrity, and engaging in enforcement activities, including seizure of goods, arrests, detentions, investigations, hearings and removals.  Participates in the MSOCs.

ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE

The RCMP is responsible for enforcing federal statutes, leading national security and organized crime investigations across Canada, both on land and water, and for maintaining border integrity between ports of entry.    Leads the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway MSOC and participates in the coastal MSOC.

DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE

Contributes to enhance domain awareness of Canada’s strategic coastal area.  Leads the MSOC on the coasts and participates in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway MSOC.

18. Comments on Variances :

Marine Security Coordination Fund: $2,674K reprofiled from FY 06/07, increasing funding available for redistribution to $4,674K, most of which ($3,130K) was spent by Transport Canada Marine Safety on a project approved by the IMSWG.

Regulatory Oversight: Variances are TC internal reallocation of approximately $900K to address the high priorities requirements such as Program Delivery and Tracking, Crisis Management, which are not adequately funded. 

Policy Coordination: Begun with only five FTEs, Marine Security had to risk manage a greater number of personnel to accommodate the increased workload to coordinate Canada's marine security policy efforts - both domestically and internationally - with further work continuously evolving.  Additional resources were also required to deliver such activities as the implementation of the ADM-level Marine Security Committee and the Marine Security Gaps Analysis, which explains the overall variance ($70K).

Marine Security Contribution Program: This program was supposed to begin sunsetting in FY 07/08 and began the FY with only three FTEs (plus related salary and other operating allocations).  TC had to reallocate $1M to support the management of this program, which had been extended for another two years in November 2006.  The additional resources were required to maintain the management and control tools already in place to track and deliver the contribution, and other exceptional activities such as the successful completion of the project files for 17 Canada Port Authorities that terminated November 30, 2007, disbursing over $22M to them in 2007-08.

Marine Transportation Security Clearance Program (MTSCP): The scope of the MTSCP changed in that originally the program was funded for 3 major ports, one implementation date, a simple model covering all employees at the ports and the program to be implemented over a 5-year period.  The decision was made to expand the program geographically and implement over 2 years as well as to have two very different regimes for container and cruise ship terminals.  This modification made the project much more complex and more sensitive, increasing the need for national consistency, thus requiring an HQ lead to provide the coordination and oversight for this complex implementation.  As a result, additional funding was required in this new complex program through internal TC reallocation of approximately $800K.

18. Comments on Variances
  1. Additional Fleet Operations: N/A
  2. AIS & LRIT:
  1. Variance between TB Sub and planned spending: International specifications and standards were approved much later than anticipated at the outset of the Project.
  2. Variance between planned and actual spending: Re-baselining of the project was required due to the amalgamation of Phases 1 and 2.
  1. Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway Marine Security Operations Centre: N/A
  2. Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway Marine Security Enforcement Teams:
  1. Variance between planned and actual spending: Additional $570,000 was received from the RCMP. There were additional refit costs on the CCGS Isle Rouge and CCGS Louis M. Lauzier and additional vessel operating costs for the Lauzier, Cape Hurd and Simmonds.
  1. Acquisition of Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway Mid-Shore Patrol Vessels
  1. Variance between TB Sub and planned spending: PWGSC cancelled the original RFP, causing a 6-9 month project delay and a revised Contract Award date of April, 2008. Because the contract was not awarded during FY 2007/08, the cash profile must be reduced from $19.829M to $4.2M. $15.629M will be re-profiled to 2011/12 to reflect the extended delivery dates and closeout of Phase 1 of the project.
  2. Variance between planned and actual spending: The MSPV project forecasted expenditures for travel, consultations, professional services and the hiring of new employees have been deferred to the new FY.
