1. Under the First Nations Policing Policy (FNPP), PSEPC 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. The Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada Research Fellowship Program in Honour of Stuart Nesbitt White seeks to encourage Ph.D. research in two key areas:
9. The Departmental Contributions Program supports policy development through allocations to public not-for-profit organizations in support of PSEPC priorities under the following categories:
10. 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.
In February of 2004, the Department tabled its last Sustainable Development Strategy, covering the years 2003-2006. This report was tabled under the Department’s previous organization as the Solicitor General; shortly after the tabling, the Department underwent a significant organizational change, to become the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. The 2003-2006 strategy was comprised of corporate greening initiatives (e.g. waste reductions) and some policy initiatives intended to promote sustainable Aboriginal policing.
In 2006, the Department will be developing a Sustainable Development Strategy to cover the fiscal years from 2007-2010. The Sustainable Development Strategy for the Department will be based on a foundation that Canada’s quality of life and well-being is determined by several interdependent factors – such as income, health, education, the quality of the environment, and the safety of communities.
The Department is committed to developing an integrated approach to planning and decision-making, in order to ensure that the three main dimensions of a sound sustainable development strategy – namely, the social, economic, and environmental – are recognized and considered in policy development and implementation.
For the upcoming fiscal year, the Department will:
SD principles and values will be addressed through the DG policy committee, which will oversee the creation and implementation of the SDS at the policy, operational, and corporate levels.
Previous SDS targets were focused on two areas – waste reduction and Aboriginal policing. With respect to waste reduction, measuring for the new fiscal year will prove to be a challenge because the Department will be moving into a new building from several separate locations around the city. Thus, basing future targets in this area on past models will not be feasible, although such alternatives as benchmarking against organizations of a similar size may prove to be feasible. We will be building on past accomplishments in such areas as First Nations Policing, and continue to build on the social dimension of sustainable development particularly at the community level.
