This section presents key financial information for the 2007-2010 period, as well as information on other reporting requirements. The financial information presented typically includes forecast spending for 2006-2007 and planned spending for each of the three years in the planning period.
The information in the table Resources by Program Activity, 2007-2008 through to the table Resource Requirements by Agency, Branch or Sector, 2007-2008 reflect the proration of Program Enabler resources across program activities. These financial and human resources are separately managed by individual Program Enablers. For further information on Program Enablers, see the section Other Items of Interest.
Note: The figures in the following tables have been rounded to the nearest millions of dollars. Figures that cannot be listed in millions are shown as 0.0, and the value 0 is shown as a dash (—).
The table Resources by Program Activity, 2007-2008 presents the 2007-2008 Main Estimates by program activity and by vote.
Some program activities do not have their own capital budget. In such cases, the capital resources shown are allocations from planned capital spending that are of benefit to individual program activities.

The table Sources of Respendable and Non-Respendable Revenue presents the forecast revenues for 2006-2007 and planned revenue for the three planning years by program activity.
Respendable revenue refers to funds collected for the recovery of the cost of services. These are collected by the Canadian Coast Guard in regard to Marine Navigation Services, Icebreaking Services and the management of the maintenance dredging program for the St. Lawrence Shipping Channel on behalf of industry. The Department is permitted to spend the sums received as respendable revenue.
Non-respendable revenue refers to funds collected for fishing licences, hydrographic charts and various other departmental products and services. The Department is not allowed to respend these revenues.

In 2004, DFO established the External Charging Review. The Review was established to provide the Department with a consistent and coherent approach to revenue management, something that has long been recognized as a priority. This has been achieved, in part, by:
The review of the Department's external charging practices and the resulting analysis are essential underpinnings of the integrated revenue management framework being sought. By establishing a thorough understanding of all aspects of DFO's current external charges, the Department will both move toward implementing a corporate approach to external charging but also be ensured a solid foundation upon which to meet the requirements of the User Fees Act and Treasury Board external charging policies.
As a first step of the review, a framework, including vision and principles, has been developed. This framework provides the necessary foundation for all subsequent analysis and deliverables of the review and the establishment of DFO's corporate approach to external charging. This year, the Department will start implementing the framework by, among other things, preparing a guide to external charging for all DFO personnel.

*The projects outlined above exceed the Department's delegated approval authority for Informatics projects. As part of the Department's Program Enabler function, Informatics projects are conducted on behalf of all program activities. We have listed the Informatics project separately instead of allocating the annual costs of the project across all nine program activities which would dilute and create repetition in the information presented.
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans currently has one designated Major Crown Project, for the acquisition of Mid-Shore Patrol Vessels.
For further information on the above-mentioned project, see http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/est-pre/20062007/p3a-eng.asp.
Description: The Mid-Shore Patrol Vessels project will acquire a total of eight (8) Mid-Shore Patrol Vessels (MSPV) for the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) Fleet — four (4) for Fisheries Conservation and Protection (C&P) duties and four (4) for Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Maritime Security duties. This project serves two purposes: 1) Fleet Renewal — the acquisition of the four (4) C&P patrol vessels represents the first step in modernization of the CCG fleet, is vital to ensure the integrity of the fishery monitoring program and will provide the capacity for DFO to support the strategic role in conservation and protection; 2) Maritime Security — the acquisition of the four (4) Maritime Security vessels will allow CCG in conjunction with the RCMP to respond to the Government's commitment to enhance the security of the nation's coasts and waterways.
Project Phase: The MSPV Project is currently in the Implementation phase.

The Canadian Coast Guard's Aids to Navigation of the 21st Century (AToN 21) strategy and the former Marine Aids Modernization project share the goal of providing the most cost-effective and environmentally responsible aids to navigation service to users while maintaining the Coast Guard's core objective to promote marine safety. Future Alternative Service Delivery of aids to navigation remains possible under the Agency's broader AToN21 strategy but only as the result of individual decisions made based on sound business cases focusing on both cost savings and quality of service.
Horizontal initiatives are programs or initiatives in which partners from two or more organizations have agreed under a formal funding agreement to work toward the achievement of shared outcomes. DFO is a partner on nine horizontal initiatives led by other government departments:
Further information on these horizontal initiatives can be found at http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/est-pre/20062007/p3a-eng.asp.
http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/sds-sdd/2007-2009/index-eng.htm |
In response to the recommendations of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, DFO's Sustainable Development Strategies are developed as companion documents to the Departmental Strategic Plan. DFO clearly links sustainable development commitments to the Department's strategic outcomes, and continues to make significant progress in ensuring that environmental, social and economic aspects are systematically considered in planning and policy development documents. The Department's vision effectively entrenches sustainable development into long-term direction setting and business planning, as DFO works in partnership to derive economic and social benefits from Canada's oceans and freshwater resources while conserving the ecological integrity of those resources.
Sustainable development is central to DFO's vision and priorities, and the Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) constitutes a core element of departmental planning. It outlines objectives and commitments for incorporating sustainable development into daily work, while offering DFO employees a practical working document that will help them attain the results the Department has committed to achieving as part of its regulatory, operational and natural-resource management roles.
DFO's SDS approach is consistent and integrated with other corporate planning documents, presents a selection of national initiatives, complemented by tangible regional case studies, and strikes a balance between visionary goals and achievability.
In the interest of greater integration, DFO based the 2007-2009 SDS Action Plan on the three departmental outcomes used in the corporate planning framework and the current departmental strategic plan:
DFO is the custodian of a significant number of office and special-purpose buildings such as CCG bases, lightstations, small craft harbours, laboratories, and a large fleet of vessels and vehicles. The use of these assets has a direct and significant impact on the environment. For the purpose of the SDS, DFO has added a fourth goal specific to corporate operations and culture and focused on the need to raise awareness and to manage the impacts of departmental operations on the environment.
The 2007-2009 SDS was built on the major elements of DFO's policy and program agenda as set out in the Strategic Plan, including the oceans agenda, the fisheries management and legislative renewal, the renewal of our science program, and the Environmental Process Modernization Plan.
SDS Departmental Goal On behalf of the Government of Canada, DFO is responsible for developing and implementing policies and programs that support Canada's scientific, ecological, social, and economic interests in oceans and fresh waters. As a department committed to sustainable development, DFO works to protect and conserve Canada's aquatic resources, while supporting the development and use of these resources. |
