Table 1.2: Financial Performance Overview

The following explains the significant changes between planned spending, total authorities and actual spending in the Department for 2006-2007.
(In millions of dollars)
	PLANNED SPENDING (2006-2007 Report on Plans and Priorities)	$2,916.4
	Secure Channel Project	94.2
	Operating Budget Carry Forward	40.4
	Statutory Adjustments (including EBP)	29.4

	Earmarked items not called or reprofiled	(302.8)
	TOTAL AUTHORITIES	$2,816.3
	Special Purpose Allotments Budget Lapse
	Real Property Services	81.5
	Receiver General Services	6.2
	Capital Funding Lapse	41.2
	Conversion Factor	40.2
	Operating Budget Lapse	27.1
	Frozen Allotments at year-end	9.0
	Other Adjustments	7.7
	ACTUAL SPENDING	$2,603.4
In 2006-2007 the PWGSC managed, within its approved spending authorities, to deliver quality services and pursue efficiencies in all its operations. The Department maintained ongoing operations while implementing the transformation agenda and giving constant attention to client engagement on the Way Forward initiative. The variance between total authorities and actual spending in the Votes is attributable to delays in staffing and project deliveries as well as deferral of capital purchases. The frozen allotment at year-end for the Shared Travel Services Initiative, along with a forced lapse to cover the conversion factor for Employee Benefit Plans and Health Care insurance costs in the Federal Accommodation and Holdings Special Purpose Allotment, are other factors of the year-end variance. Five of the six revolving funds broke even or made profits in 2006-2007, with the exception of the Translation Bureau Revolving Fund which closed the year with a deficit, as pre-authorized by Treasury Board. Although the Consulting and Audit Canada Revolving Fund made a profit, a transfer from the operating budget was required in order to achieve its targets.

Subject to a departmental legal assessment, the Canada Gazette Directorate is reporting annually on the Subscription Fees charged to external/private sector clients as the User Fees Act does not apply to internal clients, i.e. other government departments or agencies. Therefore, although Canada Gazette subscription and insertion fees were included in the 2005-2006 Departmental Performance Report, information on insertion fees will no longer be included in this table as they fall under the contracting authority of the Minister of PWGSC. 2. These figures are only the direct costs of producing the documents. 3. These figures forecast only the direct costs of producing the documents.

Table 9.1 User Fees - Licensing and Certification

The departmental performance reports for 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 reported licensing and certification fees charged to external/private sector clients by the Canadian General Standards Board. A recent legal opinion found that these fees are not subject to the reporting requirements of the User Fees Act, and for this reason they are no longer reported in the Departmental Performance Report. Information on external service fees charged by the Canadian General Standards Board can be found at: http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/cgsb/home/index-e.html.

Table 12: Status Report on Major Crown Projects

a. Long Term Vision and Plan for the Parliamentary Precinct

The Long-Term Vision and Plan (LTVP) for the Parliamentary Precinct was originally approved in 2001. In May 2005, Cabinet instructed the Minister of PWGS to return by December 2006 with options to reorganize the LTVP and its associated costs. The revised LTVP was completed by PWGSC in a consultation process with the Parliamentary Partners: the Senate, the House of Commons and the Library of Parliament. The LTVP was completed and approved in June 2007. The plan is a framework that provides direction for the renewal of Canada's seat of government - the Parliamentary Precinct. The revised LTVP builds on the strengths of the original LTVP and reconfirms the original vision of balancing the evolving functional needs of parliamentarians and other users with the overriding commitment to preserve the historic, environmental and symbolic primacy of the site.

The new implementation framework is focused on achieving the long-term vision through five-year programs of work that have three components:

• The major capital component of the first five-year program of work will focus on advancing the critical West Block Renovation Program. The West Block Renovation Program includes the renovations of the La Promenade, the Wellington Building and the Bank of Montreal Building;
• The recapitalization component is aimed at rehabilitating the Centre Block roof and towers and refurbishing the exterior masonry of the East Block (1867 wing) as well as the Confederation Building to address the most serious deterioration. This will extend the life cycle of the buildings and make future restoration projects less complicated, faster and less expensive, and:
• The planning component will focus on developing more refined plans and cost estimates for projects in later phases, including the restoration of the East and Centre Block buildings, a new committee/office building  – West Terrace Pavilion, a new Security and Visitor Services facility and use of 100 Wellington Street.

In addition to a new implementation framework that enables us to set both long-term direction and achieve immediate priorities, the revised LTVP has strong new oversight and accountability measures that will ensure effective management of the costing, planning and scheduling of the LTVP. This requires new government approvals every five years, annual reports to the Treasury Board Secretariat and quarterly report cards to the Minister of PWGSC and the Parliamentary Precinct Oversight Advisory Committee.

Further information on this subject may be found on the PWGSC website at:
http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/reports/text/dpr_2006-2007/rpe-cpt-e.html

b. Conservation, Rehabilitation and Upgrade of the Library of Parliament

The scope includes the rehabilitation of the main library building on Parliament Hill, fit-up of swing space locations, and building components and connectivity for all locations. The project is the first in the 2001 Long-Term Vision and Plan for the Parliamentary Precinct, although the project has been under way since 1995. The objective is to renew the main library building for at least another 50 years so that it may continue as a functioning library and significant tourist attraction. The work involves full rehabilitation from the weathervane to the foundation, including the excavation of three new basement levels. The total approved budget is $127.9 million.

Further information on this subject may be found on the PWGSC website at:
http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/reports/text/dpr_2006-2007/rpe-cpt-e.html

c. Bank Street Building (New Parliamentary Precinct Building)

The purpose of this project was to construct a new Parliamentary Precinct building of about 20,500 square metres, to include 39 offices for Senators, 12 modern committee rooms and support spaces for the House of Commons, plus an additional 10,000 square metres for a 300-car underground parking garage. This building was identified as a priority in the Long-Term Vision and Plan for the Parliamentary Precinct. It would allow parliamentary functions to be located within the Parliamentary Precinct while other parliamentary buildings badly in need of renovations are vacated.

This project was put on hold in December 2003 while the government conducted an expenditure review. In May 2005, the West Block Renovation Program, which was originally scheduled within Phase 2 of the LTVP, was advanced to Phase 1 due to the accelerated deterioration of the masonry and health and safety concerns related to asbestos. As a result of the rescheduling of the West Block project, the architectural design competition for the Bank Street Building was cancelled in June 2005, and the Bank Street Building and Site Infrastructure projects were suspended pending a review of the overall LTVP. The cost estimate at the time the project was put on hold was $325.1 million.

Further information on this subject may be found on the PWGSC website at:
http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/reports/text/dpr_2006-2007/rpe-cpt-e.html

d. Wellington Building Renovation Project

The Wellington Building is a classified heritage building that is located at 180 Wellington Street, across from Parliament Hill. It is a six-storey structure built in 1925. Metropolitan Life Insurance Company completed the last major renovation in 1959. The House of Commons has been the major tenant since the Crown expropriated the building in 1973.

Renovations are required for health and safety reasons, to replace obsolete building systems and to meet current building code requirements. The planned start of construction is in December 2009, with completion of the committee rooms scheduled for July 2013. The building will be completely vacated during the renovations. The current cost estimate is $279.1 million.

The work will be completed in two phases to expedite project delivery.

This project is a key enabler of the West Block Building Renovation Program, because during renovations the Wellington building will provide interim accommodations for the West Block committee rooms.

e. West Block Renovation Project

The West Block is a classified heritage building that is located on Parliament Hill. It is the oldest of the parliamentary buildings forming a triad with the Centre Block and the East Block. It provides accommodation for Members of Parliament and for parliamentary functions. The building requires major renovations for health and safety and asset integrity reasons.

The renovation project was initiated in 1992 under the Parliamentary Precinct Long-Term Construction Program and received EPA in February 1997. In 1998, the project was put on hold and was subsequently placed under Phase 2 of the June 2001 Long-Term Vision and Plan (LTVP) for the Parliamentary Precinct. However, due to the accelerated deterioration of the masonry walls and the high risk of friable asbestos in the ceiling plenum, in May 2005, Cabinet approved advancing the major renovations to Phase 1 of the LTVP.

Construction will be undertaken in phases. Emergency stabilization will involve the erection of scaffolding around the towers to eliminate the risk of collapse. Engineered stabilization work, as well as repairs and conservation of the masonry, will follow.

Implementation of the subsequent Program will be carried out in two phases. Stage 1 will focus primarily on the provision of interim space that will allow the progressive vacating of the West Block Building, as well as a limited amount of exterior masonry repairs. The building will be vacated during phase 2. Occupants will be relocated to swing space during Stage 1 and for the duration of Stage 2 work.

In June 2005, Treasury Board granted Revised PPA in the amount $769.2 million (indicative estimate, current dollars, excluding GST) including swing space. In December 2006 and February 2007, an EPA of $235 million (excluding GST) for the Stage 1 projects as well as $17.2 million spending authority to advance the planning and design of the Stage 2 projects were also approved.

f. Pension Modernization Project

The Government of Canada Pension Modernization Project (GCPMP) is a major component of PWGSC's Transformation of Pension Administration agenda. The purpose of this project is to renew PWGSC's pension administration systems and services, and transform its business processes. This will allow PWGSC to provide industry standard pension administration services to employees, employers and pensioners.

PWGSC's approximately 40-year-old systems and business-process infrastructure for pension administration is in grave need of renewal. The limited capabilities of existing processes and the archaic technology of the legacy systems severely compromise PWGSC's ability to sustain current service levels. As well, they severely limit PWGSC's ability to offer future services that are comparable to the delivery performance and cost-effectiveness of industry leaders.

Employers are looking to provide better and broader services to their employees. Demographic trends indicate that by 2016, approximately 40% of the current public service will have become eligible for retirement. As a result, increasingly large numbers of employees are seeking retirement counselling and want access to capabilities that allow them to analyze their pension benefit options. Similarly, demands for enrolment services are increasing as new employees are hired to replace retirees. At the same time, pension administration business units face significant losses of experienced, trained personnel, as approximately 42% of the compensation trainers, supervisors, managers and coaches will be eligible to retire by the fall of 2009.

The GCPMP has completed its Project Definition Phase. A Requirements Mapping and Gap Analysis for the business and technical requirements and a proposed solution were completed in the spring of 2006. This exercise included the mapping of the future business processes as well as the core processes built into the solution’s commercial products. The project team also completed the preliminary system design and implementation planning, developed substantive estimates, and submitted a Treasury Board submission seeking effective project approval, which was received in June 2007. The project is now beginning its Implementation Phase activities, which are expected to take 4½ years to complete.

Table 15: Financial Statements of Departments and Agencies

Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accrual accounting principles. The unaudited supplementary information presented in the financial tables in the DPR is prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting in order to be consistent with appropriations-based reporting. Note 3 on page 111 of the financial statements reconciles these two accounting methods.

Consistent with our commitment to deliver a more robust financial management framework, PWGSC is moving towards the implementation of the government-wide Audited Departmental Financial Statements Initiative (ADFSI). The readiness assessment exercise and the implementation action plan for this initiative are both completed. At the same time, PWGSC is implementing a new integrated financial and materiel management system. This system is on schedule to be implemented in fiscal year 2008-2009. Given that system control documentation and assessment are important contributors to the success of the ADFSI, PWGSC will experience some delays in obtaining an audit opinion on its financial statements.

Table 17: Sustainable Development

Points to Address	Departmental Input
What are the key goals, objectives, and/or long-term targets of the Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS)?	The PWGSC Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) 2003 was tabled in Parliament in February 2004. SDS 2003 contained departmental commitments relating to four goals: Greening PWGSC’s operations as a custodian and provider of facilities and common-use office space to federal departments; Greening PWGSC’s services to federal departments and agencies; Greening PWGSC's internal operations; and Providing national and international leadership in the greening of government operations More information on SDS 2003 is available at: http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/sd-env/sds2003/strategy/toc-e.html.
How do your key goals, objectives and/or long-term targets help achieve your department’s strategic outcomes?	Overall, experience gained throughout the previous SDSs has led to smarter target development, improved management processes and enhanced results monitoring systems. PWGSC is well positioned to build on its successes with the implementation of its Sustainable Development Strategy 2003 and the continuation of the more comprehensive, streamlined and transparent approach taken in its SDS 2007-2009. More information on SDS 2007-2009 may be found at: http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/sd-env/sds2007/strategy/sdd-sds2007-tc-e.html.
What were your targets for the reporting period?	For a list of the Targets and Objectives and Targets in the PWGSC SDS 2003, please see http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/sd-env/sds2003/strategy/toc-e.html.
What is your progress to date?	For the reporting period, PWGSC continued to make progress on its four overarching goals and respective objectives. Detailed progress is provided in the PWGSC Sustainable Development Performance Report. This report is available on the internet at: http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/sd-env/text/performance-report-e.html.
What adjustments have you made, if any?	Fiscal year 2006-2007 was the last year of implementation for SDS 2003. The transition to the department’s new SDS 2007-2009 is described in the Sustainable Development Performance Report 2006-2007 available at the following link: http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/sd-env/text/performance-report-e.html. Furthermore, for SDS 2007-2009, PWGSC is integrating SDS planning and reporting in the corporate dashboard as a part of overall business planning processes. The SDS is to be included in 2007-2008 mid-year review and year-end review processes.

Table 20: Horizontal Initiatives

a. Government of Canada Marketplace

The GoCM is an on-line tool that provides Government of Canada (GC) employees with access to an electronic catalogue of pre-approved goods and services available through Standing Offers (SOs) and Supply Arrangements (SAs). The current scope of GoCM allows users to search for standing offers and supply arrangements; browse, search and compare goods and services that are available in on-line catalogues; select goods and services from on-line catalogues to add to a "shopping cart;" save "shopping cart(s)" for re-use; create and print orders; and run detailed reports on what was selected for order, by whom, for whom and at what price.

These anticipated and quantifiable benefits are derived from the contribution of electronic tools to facilitate compliance with mandatory procurement instruments, achieve efficiencies due to automated business processes and facilitate lower prices through accurate and timely purchasing information needed to leverage the buying power across government spending.

Further information on this subject may be found on the PWGSC website located at:
http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/reports/text/dpr_2006-2007/ih-hi-e.html

b. Shared Travel Services Initiative

The STSI is a Government of Canada initiative, jointly led by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) and the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS). STSI is delivering value to the Government of Canada and savings to Canadian taxpayers. Its objective is to improve services to employees; increase direct savings on government-wide travel; reduce and streamline administrative costs and processes; improve management of information for negotiations and informed decision-making; and provide high quality travel services within an integrated, "end-to-end" travel management system that enables departments and agencies to realize savings.

STSI has successfully developed and deployed the following services:

• Travel Call Centre
• Travel Portal
• Designated Travel Card (DTC)
• On-line Booking Tool (OBT)
• Expense Management Tool (EMT)
• Accommodations and Car Rental Directory
• Negotiated airline agreements

Further information on this subject may be found on the PWGSC website at:
http://www.pwgsc.gc.ca/reports/text/dpr_2006-2007/ih-hi-e.html

c. Sydney Tar Ponds and Coke Ovens Clean-up Project

In July 2006 the Governments of Canada and Nova Scotia received a report of an independent review panel environmental assessment of the project, and in January 2007 jointly released their formal response in support of the report recommendations along with key decisions on proceeding with the full remediation. These decisions followed a successful period of collaboration in planning as well as implementation of preliminary construction work in advance of the main project, which will begin in the 2007 construction season. The chosen approach involves solidifying and stabilizing the contaminated soils before the sites are contained and capped, followed by site development and long-term monitoring and maintenance.
