Strategies / Comments

Approach: The DG, Finance and Contracting for the Courts Administration Service (the Service) will play a co-ordination role for initiatives related to green procurement in collaboration with key internal stakeholders in the Judicial, Registry and Corporate Services Branches. The Service will enhance its efforts with respect to green procurement in 2011‑12, and will set out specific targets for green procurement in its 2012‑13 Report on Plans and Priorities.

Management Processes and Controls: Contracting documents will include a clause addressing environmental considerations in the performance of the work required. Contracting and Materiel Management will ensure that environmental performance specifications are incorporated in the initial bid documentation. Additional statistics will be collected to track environmental considerations.

Training: The Service will require all existing functional specialists take CSPS Course 215 on Green Procurement by the end of fiscal year 2011‑12. New functional specialists will be required to take the course within 6 months of being hired. Training on Green Procurement will also be provided to key acquisition cardholders, key players involved with acquisitions, as well as the members of the Contract Review Committee of the Service.

Preliminary Objectives:

Ensure paper with at least 30% recycled content is purchased.
Increase use of bulk buys where appropriate to reduce packaging.
Ensure duplexing functionality is considered in the acquisition of printers and photocopying equipment.
Ensure toner cartridges purchased are, and can be, recycled.

Other Related Initiatives :

Reduce paper consumption through the implementation of e-filing and digital recording solutions (this initiative requires a substantial investment of resources to implement which is not currently available to the Service).
Reduce carbon emissions of mail deliveries through the planned move of the corporate support functions of the Service in the National Capital Region to the Federal Judicial Building at 90 Sparks Street (this initiative requires a substantial investment of resources to implement which is not currently available to the Service).
Reduce paper acquisition through examination of the possibility that the default setting for all printers and photocopiers be set to double-sided format.
Reduce carbon emissions through increased use of videoconferencing.

Performance Evaluations: All functional specialists are expected to include environmental considerations in the performance agreements.

Notes:

5 Alternatively, departments and agencies bound by the Policy on Green Procurement but not the Federal Sustainable Development Act (FSDA) can follow the approach required of FSDA departments for green procurement by setting and reporting on green procurement targets as specified in the "Green Procurement Targets" section in the above table.

Sources of Respendable and Non-Respendable Revenue

Non-Respendable Revenue
($ millions)
Program Activity	Forecast Revenue 2010–11	Planned Revenue 2011–12	Planned Revenue 2012–13	Planned Revenue 2013–14
Provide Registry Services
Services Fees	1.6	1.6	1.6	1.6
Court Fines	5.0	5.2	5.2	5.2
Miscellaneous Non-tax Revenues	1.7	2.0	2.0	2.0

Total Non-respendable Revenue	8.3	8.8	8.8	8.8

(1) At the Courts Administration Service (the Service), non-respendable revenues consist primarily of fees levied for filing documents within the registries and for sales of photocopies of judgments and other revenues such as fines imposed by the Courts (i.e. contempt of Court, criminal conviction, etc.).

(2) Fine revenues are impossible to forecast and vary significantly in amount from year to year. As a result, actual amounts collected from fines from year to year could vary considerably from these estimates. These revenues are forecasted on a three (3) year average.

(3) Miscellaneous non-tax revenues consist primarily of other revenues, but mainly come from the Employment Insurance (EI) Account of Canada. At the end of each fiscal year, the Service determines the cost associated with the administration of Employment Insurance cases. The total cost allocated by the Service for handling EI cases is attributed to against Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC), the department responsible for the EI account.

As such, HRSDC would show an EI expense and the Service would show an equivalent, non-respendable revenue item. The purpose of this accounting exercise is to more accurately reflect the total cost of running the federal government's EI program and it is strictly internal to the government.
