The following items are the most important financial issues that will need to be resolved in 2008-2009 and future years.
The first item relates to unfunded salary and travel expenses of Prothonotaries, new Deputy Judges’ expenses, including their fees and travel expenses, ongoing lengthy trials (e.g. involving Aboriginal matters) and certain new key positions that were required as a result of the Service’s merger in 2003. The Service has been able to secure a temporary source of funding for 2008-2009 for the aforementioned expenses, but requires a permanent solution to this ongoing issue for its future stability.
Another large project contemplated in 2008-2009 is the consolidation of the operations of the Registry personnel from the Lorne Building (90 Elgin Street) with the judges at the Thomas D’Arcy McGee Building (90 Sparks Street). However, although though the long-term plan is to consolidate the functions of all the Service personnel into one building in order to achieve efficiencies and economies, there is no source of funding for this project.
Finally, as part of the Budget Plan 2007, the Government indicated that savings for the procurement reform initiative announced by the previous government had been significantly overestimated. However, the Government of Canada has indicated that savings for 2008-2009 and beyond will still need to be achieved through overall cost efficiencies, including continued efforts to reduce procurement costs. The Service will now be expected to save $0.65M in 2008-2009 and future years through overall cost efficiencies. The cuts attributed do not necessarily represent the actual amount of savings that can be generated by the Service and could impact on the operations of the organization.
The Service accommodation portfolio remained static through 2007. There were no expansions or reductions of space. However, the Service expects to be very active on this front in the years ahead as it continues to negotiate with PWGSC the consolidation and optimization of its accommodation portfolio across Canada. In the National Capital Region (NCR), the Service will be assisting PWGSC in completing the relocation of its Registry operations from the Lorne Building to the Thomas D’Arcy McGee Building (TDM). This move will be the first concrete step in achieving full consolidation in the NCR. In addition, the Service will continue to lend its expertise to PWGSC in its quest to finalize the development of Judicial/Quasi-judicial Fit-up Standards. Other related initiatives the Service is working on include: the development of long-term accommodation requirements for the Montreal Regional Office and the consolidation of the Courts secure hearing facilities in the TDM building scheduled for the spring of 2009.
Furthermore, with the passage of Bill C-3, the Service will require a significant increase in safety accommodations to compensate for the anticipated increase in hearings, as well as to help the new Special Advocates in their review of classified material on its premises.
