Erratum
Subsequent to the tabling in Parliament and online publication of the 2010-11 Departmental Performance Report, Public Safety Canada determined that the Sources of Non-Respendable Revenue supplementary table contained minor mistakes in both the English and French versions.
- The denomination of the English Sources of Non-Respendable Revenue
supplementary table was incorrect. It should have indicated 'thousands' (i .e. $000's)
and not 'millions'.
- The French version contained the same denomination error. It should have indicated 'en milliers de dollars' and not 'en millions de dollars' . Also, it contained the incorrect translation for three Program Activities which should read: Gestion des mesures d 'urgence, Regime correctionnel, and Gestion frontaliere.

Details of Transfer Payment Programs
- First Nations Policing Program
- National Crime Prevention Strategy
- Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements
- Joint Emergency Preparedness Program (JEPP)
- Security Cost Framework
Name of Transfer Payment Program: First Nations Policing Program
Start Date: 1991-92
End Date: Ongoing
Description: Under the First Nations Policing Program (FNPP), Public Safety Canada negotiates, administers and monitors tripartite agreements for policing services in First Nation and Inuit communities. The FNPP is intended to supplement provincial/territorial policing services and funding. Financial contributions are provided based on a 52% federal and 48% provincial/territorial contribution ratio.
Strategic Outcome: A safe and resilient Canada
Results Achieved: The expected result has been achieved. In 2010-11, there was an overall increase in the total First Nation and Inuit population receiving dedicated and culturally appropriate policing services and a corresponding increase in the number of police officers funded under the FNPP to respond to this increased population.

Comment(s) on Variance(s): As per Public Accounts, the actual lapse for the FNPP is $10.4M and is represented by the difference between Total Authorities and Actual Spending. The lapse is due to the following:
- The FNPP received additional funding in 2009-10 and 2010-11 while a comprehensive review of the Program was being completed. Due to the short-term nature of this funding, and that all federal financial contributions under the FNPP must be matched with parallel financial contributions from the provinces and territories, it was difficult for the provinces and territories to commit additional funding on a short-term basis, resulting in a $5.4M lapse; and
- Although Supplementary Estimates (C) 2010-11 were tabled, Parliament was dissolved for the purpose of a general election. As a result, Supply for Supplementary Estimates (C) was not granted and the $5.0M transfer to RCMP to cover the full cost of services provided under the FNPP could not be effected resulting in a lapse of $5.0M.
The $42.6M variance between planned and actual spending in 2010-11 can be attributed to the actual lapse of $10.4M described above and an amount of $35.0M that was transferred through the Supplementary Estimates to the RCMP to cover the cost of the services they provide. An amount of $2.8M was also provided as additional authority through Supplementary Estimates "A" for the movement of funding (reprofile) from 2009-10 to 2010-11 to continue to address critical policing infrastructure needs in First Nation communities during fiscal year 2010-11 as part of Canada's Economic Action Plan.
Audit Completed or Planned: A Management Action Plan was approved in 2010-11 for the follow-up of the 2007 FNPP audit
Evaluation Completed or Planned: A program evaluation was completed in 2010-11 consistent with the Treasury Board Policy on Evaluation
Name of Transfer Payment Program: National Crime Prevention Strategy
Start Date: 1998-99
End Date: Ongoing
Description: The National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS) provides national leadership on effective and cost-efficient ways to prevent and reduce crime by addressing known risk factors in high risk populations and places. It does so through supporting evidence-based, focused and targeted preventative interventions in local communities, producing and disseminating knowledge on tools and best practices in crime prevention for the benefit of practitioners across the country, and providing policy advice to advance the field of crime prevention in Canada and internationally. The Centre engages with stakeholders and works collaboratively with federal, provincial, and territorial partners.
Strategic Outcome: A safe and resilient Canada
Results Achieved: Evidence to demonstrate the achievement of the expected result will not be obtained until the projects have concluded (mostly in 2013). Projects will be evaluated to measure and validate results.

Comment(s) on Variance(s): The $11.3M variance between planned and actual spending is due to a $6M in reduction of authorities following Strategic Review, $2.3M in reallocation to other G&C programs as well as a lapse of $3.0M that is explained by late approval of projects and surpluses on existing agreements.
Audit Completed or Planned:
- Internal Audit on Grant and Contribution Expenditures was completed April 2011
- Internal Audit on the National Crime Prevention Strategy commenced in January 2011 and is expected to be completed in September 2011
Evaluation Completed or Planned: Final Evaluation of the Youth Gang Prevention Fund was published in March 2011, Summative Evaluation of the NCPS planned for 2012-13.
Note: The above table includes the International Crime Prevention Centre Grant Budget of $500,000 and Actuals of $499,618.
Name of Transfer Payment Program: Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements (DFAA)
Start Date: 1970
End Date: Ongoing
Description: Provision of federal financial assistance to provinces and territories following large-scale natural disasters.
Strategic Outcome: A safe and resilient Canada
Results Achieved: DFAA payments and commitments totalling $88,768,508 were made in 2010-11 to provide federal financial support to provinces and territories affected by major natural disasters.

Comment(s) on Variance(s): DFAA payments and commitments are made in response to provincial and territorial requests. Actual spending is largely dependant on when the required documentation is submitted by the province / territory. The amount of each DFAA payment is determined following a federal audit of provincial/territorial expenditures. DFAA is a quasi-statutory program therefore the Department is not at liberty to reallocate to other initiative and unused funding must therefore lapse.
Audit Completed or Planned: Audit of the Expenditures related to Grants and Contributions Programs completed in 2011
Evaluation Completed or Planned: Evaluation planned for 2011-12
Name of Transfer Payment Program: Joint Emergency Preparedness Program (JEPP)
Start Date: 1980
End Date: Ongoing
Description: Cost shared program with provinces and territories to prepare for emergencies of all types.
Strategic Outcome: A safe and resilient Canada
Results Achieved: In 2010-2011, 444 projects were approved, resulting in actual spending of 93% of the Joint Emergency Preparedness Program funding envelope of $8.5 million.

Comment(s) on Variance(s): While over $8.3M was committed at the beginning of the fiscal year, the actual spending at year-end was slightly lower than planned as a result of claims submitted being less than originally anticipated and projects being withdrawn.
Audit Completed or Planned: Audit of the Expenditures related to Grants and Contributions Programs completed in 2011
Evaluation Completed or Planned: Evaluation planned for 2013
Note: The Joint Emergency Preparedness Program (JEPP) includes funding and actual spending of $187,500 for Worker's Compensation.
Name of Transfer Payment Program: Security Cost Framework
Start Date: 2009-10
End Date: 2010-11

Comment(s) on Variance(s): The 2010-11 Planned Spending, at the time of the Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) did not include additional funding for G20 and reprofiling of funds provided through the Supplementary Estimates of $133.4M which resulted in year-end Total Authorities of $260.8M. Actual costs to deliver security for the Summits of $145M were lower than initially estimated due to lower than anticipated claims and resulted in unspent funding of $115.8M. The $17.6M variance expresses the difference between the originally Planned Spending of $127.4M and the portion of authorities sought through the Supplementary Estimates that was actually required ($17.6M) to meet the costs for security of the Summits ($115.8M).
Audit Completed or Planned: Evaluation planned no later than 2013
Evaluation Completed or Planned: By 2013
[1] Total authorities were sought on the basis of cost estimates developed on security planning assumptions and included significant contingencies given incomplete information on which security plans were being built to determine funding request. This amount covers the overall project over two fiscal years.

Several RCMP Integrated Market Enforcement Team (IMET) program's project status investigations worked their way through the final stages of the court process during the 2010-11 fiscal year. As well, charges were laid in two investigations. In December 2010, the RCMP charged an individual in Vancouver with nine fraud and related charges in a case allegedly involving approximately $150M; while in February 2011, the RCMP charged 11 individuals in Montreal with fraud and fraudulent manipulation of stock exchange transactions, valued at approximately $3M. During the fiscal year, an organizational change took place within RCMP's Federal Policing directorate. The Assistant Commissioner of Financial Crime (AC/FC) now reports directly to the Deputy Director, Federal Policing. This reorganization is in line with recommendations made by Nick Le Pan in his 2007 "Report to the Commissioner: Enhancing Integrated Market Enforcement Teams, Achieving Results in Fighting Capital Markets Crime". In May 2010, the report of a full evaluation of the Integrated Market Enforcement Team (IMET) program was submitted to the Treasury Board Secretariat, and made available publicly. Coordinated by the Department of Public Safety, this evaluation was generally supportive of the IMET program. The RCMP prepared an action plan to address the recommendations and work continues on implementing this plan. |

Comments on Variances:
Public Safety Canada: Variance between planned and actual spending is attributed to staffing changes.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police: As noted in Chapter 5 of the June 2011 Status Report of the Auditor General of Canada, the RCMP has had to reallocate funding internally from all programs in order to meet the increased demands for National Policing Services. Consequently, the IMET program was subject to an internal reallocation resulting in $3.9M being directed toward RCMP pressures.
Justice Canada: Variance between planned and actual spending is attributed to the limited number of applications submitted by the Provinces to support eligible expenditures under the Reserve Fund.
Results to be achieved by non-federal partners (if applicable): N/A
[1] All amounts include PWGSC accommodation costs totaling $27K for 2010-11 planned and actual spending. The Department of Justice received for FY 2003-04 to 2007-08 a total funding of $26.67M (including accommodation) and this amount takes into account a transfer of $3.75M to ODPP for the FY 2007-08 following the creation of this organization.
[2] Once a request for mutual legal assistance has been executed, it is the responsibility of the RCMP, not the Department of Justice, to monitor the outcome of the relevant investigation or prosecution for which the evidence was gathered.
Green Procurement
Green Procurement Capacity Building
| Activity | Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP) | Actual Results as % | Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff | 100 | 100 | For the purpose of this exercise, "Staff" includes departmental employees of its Contracting and Procurement Unit exclusively. |
| Training for Acquisition Cardholders | 90 | 64 |
In 2010-11, Public Safety Canada did not receive the anticipated uptake for the "Green Procurement" course; as a result, all new acquisition cardholders are required to take the course prior to receiving the card.

Included in this was the reimbursement to provincial and municipal security partners for incremental, reasonable and justifiable costs incurred in relation to the G8/G20, as per the terms and conditions for the Security Cost Framework Policy in Relation to the 2010
G8/G20 Summits. More specifically, the objective of the Security Cost Framework Policy in Relation to the 2010 G8/G20 Summits was to obtain the cooperative participation of provincial and municipal security partners by reimbursing them, through contribution agreements, for eligible incremental policing and security-related costs incurred in relation to these events.
Governance Structure(s):
The overall security planning and operation for the G8/G20 Summits was coordinated under the Office of the Coordinator for the 2010 Olympics and G8/G20 Summits housed within the Privy Council Office (PCO). All federal departments with security roles and responsibilities worked in collaboration with the Coordinator's Office to plan and deliver the necessary security operations for both 2010
Summits.

Vote 1 - Operating expenditures & EBP
The 2010-11 Planned Spending, at the time of the Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP), did not include additional funding for G20 provided through the Supplementary Estimates of $0.5M, which resulted in a year-end Total Authorities of $1.2M for 2010-11. Actual 2010-11 costs to deliver security for the Summits of $1.5M were higher than initially estimated and the $0.3M in Actual Spending in
excess of the budget, was funded through internal reallocation of funds.
Vote 5 - Grants and contributions
The 2010-11 Planned Spending, at the time of the Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP), did not include additional funding for G20 and reprofiling of funds provided through the Supplementary Estimates of $133.4M which resulted in year-end Total Authorities for 2010-11 of $260.8M as per Public Accounts. Actual 2010-11 costs to deliver security for the Summits of $145.0M were lower than
initially estimated due to lower than anticipated claims and resulted in unspent funding of $115.8M.
