Organizational Information

The Honourable Chuck Strahl, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians is the Minister responsible for Indian Residential Schools Resolution Canada.

As illustrated in the organizational chart below, the Minister is supported by the Department's Executive Director and Deputy Head. The Executive Director and Deputy Head are accountable for the overall management of the Department, strategic policy direction, and the provision of executive support to the Minister.

The Departments organizational structure changed over the year to better meet the mandate to resolve claims and address issues arising from the legacy of Indian residential schools as well as the larger objective of reconciliation and building a new relationship with Aboriginal peoples.

Below is the structure as of March 31, 2007.

Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Authority and Objectives

Indian Residential Schools Resolution Canada (IRSRC) was established by Order–in-Council (P.C. 2001-994) on June 4, 2001 and is a department listed in Schedule IV of the Financial Administration Act.

IRSRC is dedicated to resolving the legacy for the estimated 80,000 individuals who attended Indian residential schools and meeting the needs of the more than 13,000 former students seeking compensation for abuses they suffered at these schools.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies which are consistent with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector.

Significant accounting policies are as follows:

  1. Parliamentary appropriations – IRSRC is financed by the Government of Canada through Parliamentary appropriations. Appropriations provided to IRSRC do not parallel financial reporting according to generally accepted accounting principles since appropriations are primarily based on cash flow requirements. Consequently, items recognized in the statement of operations and the statement of financial position are not necessarily the same as those provided through appropriations from Parliament. Note 3 provides a high-level reconciliation between the bases of reporting.
  2. Net Cash Provided by Government – IRSRC operates within the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), which is administered by the Receiver General for Canada. All cash received by IRSRC is deposited to the CRF and all cash disbursements made by the department are paid from the CRF. The net cash provided by Government is the difference between all cash receipts and all cash disbursements including transactions between departments of the federal government.
  3. Change in net position in the Consolidated Revenue Fund is the difference between the net cash provided by Government and appropriations used in a year, excluding the amount of non respendable revenue recorded by IRSRC. It results from timing differences between when a transaction affects appropriations and when it is processed through the CRF.
  4. Revenues:

    • Other revenues are accounted for in the period in which the underlying transaction or event occurred that gave rise to the revenues.
  5. Expenses – Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis:

    • Grants are recognized in the year in which the conditions for payment are met. In the case of grants which do not form part of an existing program, the expense is recognized when the Government announces a decision to make a non-recurring transfer, provided the enabling legislation or authorization for payment receives parliamentary approval prior to the completion of the financial statements;
    • Contributions are recognized in the year in which the recipient has met the eligibility criteria or fulfilled the terms of a contractual transfer agreement;
    • Vacation pay and compensatory leave are expensed as the benefits accrue to employees under their respective terms of employment.
    • Services provided without charge by other government departments for accommodation, the employer's contribution to the health and dental insurance plans and legal services are recorded as operating expenses at their estimated cost.
  6. Employee future benefits

    1. Pension benefits: Eligible employees participate in the Public Service Pension Plan (Public Service Superannuation), a multi employer program administered by the Government of Canada. The department's contributions to the Plan are charged to expenses in the year incurred and represent the total departmental obligation to the Plan. Current legislation does not require the department to make contributions for any actuarial deficiencies of the Plan.
    2. Severance benefits: Employees are entitled to severance benefits under labour contracts or conditions of employment. These benefits are accrued as employees render the services necessary to earn them. The obligation relating to the benefits earned by employees is calculated using information derived from the results of the actuarially determined liability for employee severance benefits for the Government as a whole.
  7. Accounts receivables are stated at amounts expected to be ultimately realized.
  8. Contingent liabilities – Contingent liabilities are potential liabilities which may become actual liabilities when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. To the extent that the future event is likely to occur or fail to occur, and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made, an estimated liability is accrued and an expense recorded. If the likelihood is not determinable or an amount cannot be reasonably estimated, the contingency is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
  9. Tangible capital assets – All tangible capital assets and leasehold improvements having an initial cost of $10,000 or more are recorded at their acquisition cost. The department does not capitalize intangibles, works of art and historical treasures that have cultural, aesthetic or historical value, assets located on Indian Reserves and museum collections.

    Amortization of tangible capital assets is done on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:


    Asset Class
    Amortization period
    Machinery & equipment 5 to 15 years
    Informatics hardware 3 to 5 years
    Informatics software 3 to 5 years


  10. Measurement uncertainty – The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies which are consistent with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the financial statements. At the time of preparation of these statements, management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable. The most significant items where estimates are used are contingent liabilities, the liability for employee severance benefits and the useful life of tangible capital assets. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimated. Management's estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are recorded in the financial statements in the year they become known.

3. Parliamentary Appropriations

IRSRC receives most of its funding through annual Parliamentary appropriations. Items recognized in the statement of operations and the statement of financial position in one year may be funded through Parliamentary appropriations in prior, current or future years. Accordingly, IRSRC has different net costs of operations for the year on a government funding basis than on an accrual accounting basis. The differences are reconciled in the following tables:

Amortization expense for the year ended March 31, 2007 is $522,000 (2006 - $534,000).

5. Contingent Liabilities

  1. Claims and litigation

    IRSRC was established to resolve claims and to address issues arising from the legacy of Indian residential schools. There are 13,488 claims being managed by the department in this regard, including class action claims. In May 2006, the department reached an independent settlement agreement to resolve these claims. The settlement agreement will be implemented in September 2007 by the Courts. IRSRC has recorded a liability of $2.802 million in 2007 ($2.951 million in 2006) to reflect the estimated costs to settle claims.

6. Employee Benefits

  1. Pension benefits: IRSRC employees participate in the Public Service Pension Plan, which is sponsored and administered by the Government of Canada. Pension benefits accrue up to a maximum period of 35 years at a rate of 2 percent per year of pensionable service, times the average of the best five consecutive years of earnings. The benefits are integrated with Canada/Québec Pension Plans benefits and they are indexed to inflation.

    Both the employees and the department contribute to the cost of the Plan. The 2006-07 expense amounts to $2,017,300 ($1,749,601 in 2005-06) which represents approximately 2.2 times (2.6 in 2005-06) the contributions by employees.

    IRSRC's responsibility with regard to the Plan is limited to its contributions. Actuarial surpluses or deficiencies are recognized in the financial statements of the Government of Canada, as the Plan's sponsor.
  2. Severance benefits: The department provides severance benefits to its employees based on eligibility, year of service and final salary. These severance benefits are not pre-funded. Benefits will be paid from future appropriations. Information about the severance benefits, measured as at March 31, is as follows:

7. Related party transactions

IRSRC is related as a result of common ownership to all Government of Canada departments, agencies, and Crown corporations. The department enters into transactions with these entities in the normal course of business and on normal trade terms. Also, during the year, the department received services which were obtained without charge from other Government departments as presented in part (a).

  1. Services provided without charge:

    During the year the department received without charge from other departments, accommodation, legal fees and the employer's contribution to the health and dental insurance plans. These services without charge have been recognized in the department's Statement of Operations as follows:


     

    2007

    2006

     

    (in thousands of dollars)

    Accommodation

    3,027

    Legal Services

    2,067

    1,919

    Total

    6,469

    5,316



    The Government has structured some of its administrative activities for efficiency and cost-effectiveness purposes so that one department performs these on behalf of all without charge. The cost of these services, which include payroll and cheque issuance services provided by Public Works and Government Services Canada and audit services provided by the Office of the Auditor General, are not included as an expense in the Department's Statement of Operations.

  2. Payables and receivables outstanding at year-end with related parties:

    (1) A receivable of $3,668,823 in 2006-07 ($3,600,000 in 2005-06) is a credit adjustment made by Treasury Board Secretariat to the amount contributed by IRSRC to the Employee Benefit Plan.

8. Adjustments to Prior Year's Results

Severance benefits were not reported on the 2005-06 Financial Statements. Consequently, comparative figures presented for the year ended March 31, 2006 have been restated. The effect of this adjustment is presented in the table below.
