NET COST OF OPERATIONS |

Public Safety Canada’s forecasted net cost of operation remains relatively stable from year to year with a noted major fluctuation from 2010-11 to 2011-12, mostly attributed to the Department’s expenditures related to the G8 and G20 Summits.
The preparation of the Future-Oriented Statement of Operations was based on the new PAA structure, as well as government and departmental priorities. As a new requirement this fiscal year, Public Safety Canada made two assumptions during its development:
Although every attempt was made to accurately forecast results for the remainder of FY 2010-11 and for FY 2011-12, the actual results will likely vary from the forecasted information presented in the Statement. Throughout its development, assumptions were based on previous experience and other factors considered reasonable under the circumstances. Furthermore, accrual-based accounting was used to prepare the Future-Oriented Statement of Operations in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies[15]. Since Public Safety Canada is financed through an annual Parliamentary appropriations process (e.g. cash-based accounting), items presented in the Statement are not necessarily the same as in other sections of the Report on Plans and Priorities. However, it does allow for reconciliation between the two accounting bases of reporting.
All electronic Supplementary Information tables found in the 2011-12 Report on Plans and Priorities can be found on the Treasure Board of Canada Secretariat’s website at http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/rpp/st-ts-eng.asp.
Departmental Sustainable Development and Strategic Environmental Assessment
Vision: The Department will continue to contribute to the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy by “Shrinking the Environmental Footprint.” To achieve this, the Department will continue to create processes, plans and tools to reduce its volume of computers and office equipment; strengthen its internal processes for reuse, disposal and/or recycling of all surplus electronic and electrical equipment; explore ways of managing and monitoring paper supply and consumption more effectively and efficiently; raise awareness of the importance of greening the Department’s operations; and include environmental considerations in purchasing decisions in conjunction with traditional interests of price, performance and availability. Focusing on greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption will decrease the Government’s overall environmental footprint. As a result, Public Safety Canada will benefit from potential cost savings and contribute to reinforcing the Government of Canada message on the importance of sound sustainable development.
