Financial Pressures
In the RPP, the Service highlighted financial requirements for which no permanent source of funding had been secured. These relate to salary and travel expenses for prothonotaries, expenditures related to deputy judges, certain lengthy trials and expenses related to positions created following the establishment of the Service in 2003. These funding issues remain unresolved at present. In addition, several key initiatives in the areas of Security, Information Management and consolidation of NCR accommodation require funding to go forward.
The Service is working closely with Privy Council Office, Treasury Board Secretariat and the Department of Finance in view of resolving these important financial issues.
The Service is subject to ongoing and increasing reference level reductions as a result of the procurement reform initiative; however, it does not enjoy the anticipated savings. Forty-five percent (45%) of its operating funds relate to translation, commissionaire services, court reporting and library expenditures – for which no savings are generated through procurement reform. This net reduction of funding contributes significantly to the financial pressures outlined above.
Facilities
In December 2008, Registry employees were successfully moved from the Lorne Building to the Thomas D’Arcy McGee Building at 90 Sparks in Ottawa. The latter has been identified as the long-term accommodation solution for the Service in the NCR. The project was on time and budget, with the Service absorbing some $300,000 of the project costs. The result has been increased satisfaction of staff, a single registry counter for three of the Courts and the provision of more efficient services to the judges.
Consolidation of the Courts and the Service in the Thomas D’Arcy McGee Building will continue over the course of the next several years as leases expire and space becomes available.
