1. Strategic Outcome: Canada’s natural capital is conserved and restored for present and future generations

2. Program Activity: 1.1 Biodiversity – Wildlife and Habitat

3. Name of Transfer Payment Program: Habitat Stewardship Program for Species at Risk (HSP)

4. Start date: August 20, 2000

5. End date: Program is ongoing. March 2012 is the end date for a portion of HSP funding ($4 M)

6. Description: The purpose of the HSP is to contribute to the recovery of endangered, threatened, and other species of concern, and to prevent other species from becoming a conservation concern, by engaging Canadians in conservation actions to benefit wildlife. HSP fosters partnerships among organizations interested in the recovery of species at risk and provides funding for implementing activities that protect or conserve habitats for species at risk. It enables non-government organizations, landowners, the private sector, Aboriginal organizations, educational institutions, community groups, and other levels of government to plan, manage and complete projects that will achieve the Program goal.

7. Expected results:

• Support habitat projects that benefit species at risk.
• Enable Canadians to become actively and concretely involved in stewardship projects for species at risk that will result in tangible, measurable environmental benefits.
• Improve understanding of the role stewardship has as a conservation tool.
• Securing or protecting important habitat to protect species at risk and support their recovery.
• Increased awareness and understanding among Canadians of the environmental impacts of their transportation choices.
• Mitigating threats to species at risk caused by human activities.

6. Description: The objective of this class contribution is to enable the clean-up of contaminated sediment in targeted areas of concern in the Great Lakes, and advance clean-up efforts to restore Lake Winnipeg and Lake Simcoe.

Transfer payments made under the program will be in the form of contributions to a broad range of entities to support the remediation of contaminated sediment in Great Lakes Areas of Concern or rehabilitation measures that reduce nutrient loads to lakes Winnipeg and Simcoe and their tributaries. The entities include domestic or international non-profit organizations, provincial and municipal governments, regional conservation authorities, individual Canadians, businesses, post-secondary institutions, Indian bands, and Aboriginal organizations and associations.

7. Expected results: Contribution funding under the program will target the following results:

• Implement contaminated sediment management plans in Areas of Concern in the Great Lakes (Detroit River, St. Marys River, Thunder Bay, St. Clair River, Niagara River, and the Bay of Quinte) to reduce the release and impact of contaminated sediments on the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem;
• Support stewardship projects that will reduce pollutants, particularly nutrients loads, in priority areas in the Lake Winnipeg Basin; and
• Clean up Lake Simcoe by supporting projects to reduce excessive quantities of phosphorus and other nutrients in priority areas in the Lake Simcoe Basin and to make progress on the rehabilitation of priority habitat to restore the health of the aquatic ecosystem and coldwater fishery in Lake Simcoe.

Planned evaluations: A third-party program evaluation is being conducted for Lake Winnipeg and Lake Simcoe, and for the Great Lakes initiative, and will conclude in 2011.

1. Strategic Outcome: Threats to Canadians and their environment from pollution are minimized.

2. Program Activity: Climate Change and Clean Air

3. Name of Transfer Payment Program: Grant to Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) for the NextGen Biofuels Fund (NGBF). Payments are both statutory and voted.

4. Start date: April 2007

5. End date: September 30, 2027 (the last appropriation by Parliament will be in fiscal year 2014–2015, with the last disbursement by SDTC by March 31, 2017)

6. Description: The $500 million NextGen Biofuels Fund supports the establishment of
first-of-kind large demonstration-scale facilities for the production of next-generation renewable fuels. It is one of two funds operated by SDTC. As sponsoring departments for the federal government, Environment Canada and Natural Resources Canada provide oversight for the operations of SDTC to ensure it complies with the two funding agreements and the founding legislation. Under the NGBF, the SDTC provides grants with conditional repayment terms to eligible recipients for the establishment of first-of-kind large demonstration-scale facilities producing next-generation renewable fuels. These facilities must involve both non-conventional technologies and non-traditional feedstocks and be built in Canada, using representative Canadian feedstock. Selection is based on the technology's (rather than the plant's) potential for environmental and other socio-economic benefits.

While the spending listed below captures the funds transferred from Environment Canada to the foundation, the actual planned disbursements to NGBF projects in 2011–2012 are $28.5 million. Between 2012 and 2015, SDTC plans to disburse $200 million to NGBF projects, according to the 2011 Corporate Plan.

7. Expected results: This grant will demonstrate the technological and economic feasibility of large-scale biofuels production. Such production will provide improved environmental benefits, such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and will encourage the retention and growth of Canadian technology expertise and innovations capacity.
