Details on Transfer Payment Programs

First Nations Policing Program (FNPP)

Start Date: 1991-92

End Date: Ongoing

Strategic Outcome: A safe and resilient Canada

Program Activity: Law Enforcement

Description: The First Nations Policing Program provides contribution funding for dedicated and culturally appropriate policing services in First Nation and Inuit communities, through cost‐shared agreements in which 52% of the funding is provided by the federal government and 48% by the provincial or territorial government.

Results Achieved: In 2009-10, Public Safety Canada managed 167 agreements under the First Nation Policing Program, which covered 398 communities across Canada. Public Safety Canada, First Nation and Inuit partners and provinces and territories continue to collaborate in the negotiation of tripartite agreements that fund dedicated police presence in First Nation and Inuit communities.

$20,139,742

Comment(s) on Variance(s): The actual lapse for this Program (FNPP) is $0.6M and is represented by the difference between the Total Authorities and the Actual Spending.  The variance of $20M in Program spending is due to the following: from Planned Spending, $40.4M was transferred to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) through Supplementary Estimates and is therefore not represented as Actual Spending.  As well, for 2009-10, additional funding was received in Supplementary Estimates to sustain existing policing agreements ($8.3M) while a comprehensive review is being conducted, and to address critical policing infrastructure needs ($12.6M).  This increase in spending offset the variance caused by the budget transfer to the RCMP.

Audit planned: Follow-up of the 2007 audit of the First Nations Policing Program underway

Expected completion date: May 2010

Evaluation planned: Evaluation planned

Expected completion date: September 2010

Start Date: 1998-99

Comments on Variances

Justice Canada: Due to the complexity and length of investigations, and due to the limited number of cases that have proceeded to trial, the Reserve Fund was not accessed to its full capacity.

Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions:  The under expenditure is due to lower than anticipated prosecutorial workloads at the federal level.

Green Procurement


Green Procurement Targets

Has the department established green procurement targets?

  Yes  

Activities

 

Energy efficient office equipment procurement policy

Target: 100% of new office equipment purchases with Energy Star accreditation when feasible and available on PWGSC Standing Offers

Benefit: Reduced energy use in offices

Results: Public Safety Canada ensured all computers and photocopiers, whether purchased or leased, were acquired with Energy Star certification.

Green procurement training

Target: 50% of materiel managers, procurement officers and acquisition cardholders have taken the Canada School of Public Service's Green Procurement training course by the end of 2010-11

Benefit: Ensure that the Department takes advantage of “Green Procurement” opportunities

Results: As of March 31, 2010, 100% of Procurement Officers and 50 % of all Acquisition Cardholders had completed the Green Procurement course.

Toner cartridges replacement policy

Target: 100% purchase and use of remanufactured or recycled toner cartridges when feasible and available

Benefit: All toner cartridges used are remanufactured or recycled when feasible

Results: The Department returned 100% of used cartridges for recycling and 95% of toner purchased were recycled printer cartridges. The remaining five per cent were new model printers, which do not have recycled cartridges until enough units are sold to permit recycling.

Recycling expansion initiative

Target: Ensure that the total volume of recyclable materials (e.g., paper, metals, glass, batteries and plastics) is increased by 2010-11

Benefit: Maximize the volume of recyclable materials diverted to recycling programs. Will be measured through a waste audit that PWGSC will conduct

Results: All offices and shared spaces are equipped with recycling bins and all material wastes were sent to the recycling program

  • to coordinate the emergency management activities among federal government institutions along with those of the provinces and territories;
  • to promote a common approach to emergency management, including the adoption of standards and best practices; and
  • to coordinate the protection of Canada’s critical infrastructure.

The AG made five recommendations with which Public Safety Canada agreed. A Management Action Plan has been implemented that regularly tracks progress against the recommendations. Progress updates are provided to the AG as significant achievements are realized.

Comments: Public Safety Canada undertook the development of a rolling five-year risk-based evaluation plan in 2009-10. The Public Safety Canada Departmental Evaluation Plan for 2010-11 to 2014-15 was completed and provided to the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat in April 2010.

[1] A decision was made to cancel these proposed evaluation engagements as part of the risk-based evaluation planning exercise. The projects and programs of these proposed engagements have either terminated, or the activities are part of a larger program and it is not possible to disassociate them to report on their relevance and performance.
