3 Performance indicators for the National Security program activity were developed after the tabling of the Department’s 2008-09 Report on Plans and Priorities.

return

4 Performance indicators for the Emergency Management program activity were developed after the tabling of the Department’s 2008-09 Report on Plans and Priorities.

return

5 Total program authorities are lower than planned spending mainly due to a budget transfer of $39.8M to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for First Nations community policing services.

return

6 Actual spending is greater than total program authorities because of unforeseen contribution spending for the Security Cost Framework (Francophonie Summit and President Obama’s visit). Program spending, however, remained within the total departmental authorities

return

7 Performance indicators for the Law Enforcement program activity were developed after the tabling of the Department’s 2008-09 Report on Plans and Priorities.

return

8 The Department is currently developing options with respect to Public Opinion Research in order to inform its performance indicators. Data will be available for the 2009-10 reporting period. These will be developed in time for next year’s Department Performance Report (DPR).

return

9 Performance indicators for the Corrections program activity were developed after the tabling of the Department’s 2008-09 Report on Plans and Priorities.

return

10 Due to the recent development of this performance indicator, the Department has yet to establish a baseline against which to gauge performance. The success rates identified in 2008-09 will form the baseline for future comparisons.

return

13 The transitional nature of 2008-09 led to a variance between the planned and actual spending for this program activity. As $30M of the National Crime Prevention Centre (NCPC) funding was set to end in March 2008, the NCPC slowed down its project development activities in 2007-08. Also, the renewed National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS) required an increase in project development work, resulting in fewer projects ready for funding in 2008-09.

return

14 The variance between planned and actual FTEs is attributable to completing the human resources planning based on the NCPS’$30M funds scheduled to sunset at the end of FY 2007-08. Through Budget 2008, these funds were added to the ongoing base this fiscal year. Hence, the number of actual FTEs is significantly greater than originally planned.

return

15 As the NCPS’ new logic model and indicators were in development during the first part of FY 2008-09, the Department was not in a position to establish baseline data for performance target development. The issue is currently being addressed through the collection of the baseline data necessary to establish performance targets. Ultimately, it improves the Department’s ability to report the program activity’s performance status.
