Continued progress, using existing budgets and special funding from the Treasury Board, is being made on dealing with the backlog of deferred maintenance in the department's inventory.
The department, in consultation with partner departments and the Treasury Board, is also identifying ways of rationalizing its funding base for property projects and maintenance to prevent a "rust out" backlog from developing in the future and to deal with a decline in revenue from surplus property sales.

Program Activity: International Security

1	Name of Transfer Payment Program: Initiatives related to the destruction, disposition and securing of weapons of mass destruction (TB #830799, TB #831536, TB #131449, TB #832273)
Start Date: August 12, 2003		End Date: March 2013
Description: To implement Canada's commitment to the G8 Global Partnership Against the Spread of WMD through the destruction of chemical weapons, the dismantlement of nuclear submarines, the employment of former weapons scientists and the enhancement of nuclear and radiological security. Canada has committed up to $1 billion over 10 years beginning in 2003 to implement the goals of the Global Partnership. The justification for the Partnership was based on an ongoing assessment of threats to Canadian security following the terrorist attacks of September 2001. Exhaustive evaluations at the G8 level led to the conclusion by leaders at the Kananaskis Summit that the seriousness of the threats could only be addressed if a cooperative approach, supported by significant resources, was adopted.
Objectives: The objective of the Global Partnership Program approved by Cabinet in 2002 is to protect Canadians from security threats emanating from terrorism, failed/failing nation-states, the risks posed by the proliferation of WMD and health pandemics. This is being accomplished through: Canada's involvement in the construction of a chemical weapons destruction facility in Russia; the dismantlement of three nuclear submarines per year over the next four years; the implementation of projects to improve the security of nuclear and radioactive material in Russia and countries of the former Soviet Union (FSU); Canadian membership in the International Science and Technology Center in Moscow. The mandate of the Center is to reduce the risk of proliferation by redirecting former FSU weapons scientists; and the development of a bio-safety/bio-security strategy, which will be an integral part of Canada's overall non-proliferation programming under the Global Partnership Program.
Strategic Outcome: ADVANCING CANADA'S INTERESTS INTERNATIONALLY: In partnership with Canadians, Canada and its values are projected to the world, its interests are pursued abroad and Canadians are better able to interpret the world.
Expected Results: A reduced threat from WMD for Canadians, strengthening of the international non-proliferation, arms control and disarmament regime, and securing of Canada's domestic and international security objectives. Canada's interests and security are protected and pursued, in partnership with Canadians and other countries, to advance Canadian interests, enhance domestic and international peace and security, and project Canadian values.

NATO was designed to promote the stability of the North Atlantic area and to safeguard the freedom and security of its people by political and military means, based on the principles of democracy, individual liberty and international law. The NATO civil budget, structured along "output based" lines in response to objectives set annually by the North Atlantic Council, covers the activities of the NATO Secretary General, the NATO headquarters and the NATO international staff. The NATO civil administration supports the process of consensus building and decision making among alliance members and manages NATO's relations with its partners. The NATO civil budget also supports the work of various NATO agencies with specialized responsibilities. An effective and efficient NATO civil administration assists alliance members in promoting security and stability in the North Atlantic area and in responding effectively to current security challenges. The NATO accounts are subject to annual audit by the International Board of Auditors for NATO.
Strategic Outcome: ADVANCING CANADA'S INTERESTS INTERNATIONALLY: In partnership with Canadians, Canada and its values are projected to the world, its interests are pursued abroad and Canadians are better able to interpret the world.

Canada's contribution furthers its foreign policy goals by funding programs implemented by the OSCE's institutions and field operations in priority foreign policy areas for Canada related to regional and international security.

Canada's contribution to the organization's unified budget covers the costs associated with the implementation of the organization's work programs and activities in three dimensions: political and military aspects of security; economic and environmental cooperation; and cooperation in humanitarian and other fields. This integrated approach allows the OSCE to make a significant contribution to furthering European security and transatlantic cooperation through non-coercive measures. Canada's contribution also supports stronger partnership with Canadians in developing and implementing Canada's international security policy, through the involvement of members of Parliament in the work of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, the deployment of Canadians to OSCE field operations, and the contribution of Canadian experts to the organization. The OSCE unified budget, based on a programmatic approach, is approved by the OSCE Permanent Council on a yearly basis. The OSCE accounts are subject to an annual report by external auditors as well as an internal oversight annual report that are made available to participating states.
Strategic Outcome: ADVANCING CANADA'S INTERESTS INTERNATIONALLY: In partnership with Canadians, Canada and its values are projected to the world, its interests are pursued abroad and Canadians are better able to interpret the world.
Expected Results: The OSCE budget supports the programs of the OSCE Secretariat in Vienna, as well as the OSCE institutions (Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, Representative on Freedom of the Media and High Commissioner on National Minorities) and the organization's 18 field missions. The results expected include effective and timely implementation of the decisions of the OSCE Permanent Council, continuous monitoring of the security and stability situation in Europe, concerted programming to actively contribute to conflict prevention, conflict resolution and post-conflict institution building, and proper management of the organization's resources.

Funded from the Peace and Security Pool of the International Assistance Envelope (IAE), the GPSF will fill a funding gap by providing dedicated resources for activities that are necessary for a timely response with respect to countries at risk of crisis, but are not properly the responsibility of DND and are outside the core purposes of Canada's Official Development Assistance Programme. Examples of these activities are support for peace processes and mediation efforts, transitional justice and reconciliation and improving the peace enforcement and peace support capacities of African militaries.
Shared Outcome(s): The ultimate outcome is expected to be an improved Canadian contribution to peace and security and the safety and well being of beneficiaries living in targeted areas. Specific outcomes are defined by the ERI's Results-based Management and Accountability Framework (RMAF). Strategic outcomes are: rapid, integrated, and better coordinated Canadian responses to international requirements for short- and medium-term conflict prevention, stabilization, peacebuilding, and reconstruction; improved Canadian contributions to the mitigation of natural disasters and complex emergencies and the restoration of peace, security and indigenous governance capacity in failed and fragile states; and expanded global and regional capacity for peace support operations.
Governance Structure(s): The GPSF is managed by the START Secretariat in the context of a whole-of-government approach coordinated through the START Advisory Board. Chaired by the Director General of the START Secretariat and comprised of senior officials from across government, the START Advisory Board is responsible for establishing a whole-of-government strategic policy, priority-setting and direction with respect to failed and fragile states and complex emergencies within the framework of individual departmental authorities, as well as providing a platform for information exchange on programme-related activities to ensure complementarity and avoid duplication.
