Auditors’ Report

To the Chief Audit Executive and Director General of Evaluation
Public Works and Government Services Canada

We have audited the statement of financial position of the Real Property Services Revolving Fund (the “Fund”) as at March 31, 2008 and the statements of operations and net assets (liabilities) and cash flow for the year then ended. These financial statements have been prepared to comply with Section 6.4 of Treasury Board’s Policy on Special Revenue Spending Authorities. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of the Fund. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as at March 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with the basis of accounting described in Note 2 to the financial statements.

These financial statements, which have not been, and were not intended to be, prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, are solely for the information and use of the management of the Fund and the Treasury Board to comply with Section 6.4 of the Policy on Special Revenue Spending Authorities. The financial statements are not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than specified users or for any other purpose.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended March 31, 2008

1. AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE

The Real Property Services Revolving Fund (“the Fund”) provides, on a fee-for-service basis, optional real property services to other custodian departments and to other departments and agencies requesting services over and above those provided under the Federal Accommodation and Holdings Service Line program. More specifically, the Fund looks after architectural and engineering activities, property management, holdings and divestiture, and support services.

The Fund has a continuing non-lapsing authority from Parliament to make payments out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the purposes of working capital, capital acquisitions and the temporary financing of accumulated operating deficits, the total of which is not to exceed $150,000,000 at any time.

The Fund receives funding by way of a separate vote, to cover the net draw down authority used in order to comply with the Policy on Special Revenue Spending Authorities. The amount received in 2007-2008 was nil (2006-2007: $8,903,266).

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the significant accounting policies issued by the Treasury Board. The basis of accounting used in these financial statements differs from Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for the public sector because the employee termination benefits liability is based on management's estimate of this liability rather than based on actuarial valuations.

The significant accounting policies are as follows:

a) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the reporting requirements for Revolving Funds described by the Receiver General for Canada requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

b) Revenue recognition
Revenues earned on professional and technical services performed and revenues to recover disbursements made on behalf of other government departments and outside parties are recognized as costs are incurred by the Fund.

c) Expenses
Overhead chargeback, corporate and administrative services and occupancy costs are based on the budgeted direct service delivery personnel costs as determined in the 2007-2008 Budget Framework for the Fund and the Federal Accommodation and Holdings Program Activities of Public Works and Government Services Canada.

d) Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost and are recorded on a first-in, first-out basis.

e) Pension plan
Employees of the Fund are covered by the Public Service Superannuation Act and the Supplementary Retirement Benefits Act. The Government of Canada’s portion of the pension cost is included in the employee benefits charge assessed against the Fund. The actual payment of the pension is made from the Public Service Superannuation and Supplementary Retirement Benefits Accounts.

f) Employee termination benefits, vacation pay and time-off in lieu
Termination benefits accrue to employees over their years of service with the Government of Canada as provided for under collective agreements, and the estimated costs of these benefits are recorded in the accounts as they are earned by the employees.

The liability for vacation pay and compensatory leave is calculated at the salary levels in effect at the end of the year for all unused vacation pay and time-off in lieu benefits accruing to employees.

4. NET ASSETS (LIABILITIES)

The accumulated surplus (deficit) is the accumulation of each fiscal year's surpluses and deficits since the inception of the Fund. The accumulated net charge against the Fund’s authority is the non-lapsing authority amount that has been used since the inception of the Fund.

5. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The Fund is engaged in contractual obligations for property services. Expected future payments are as follows:

	2010	41,112
	2011	20,411
	2012	18,469
	2013 and thereafter	85,389
		418,423

6. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Multiple claims have been made against the Fund in the normal course of operations. Some of these potential liabilities 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 is recorded in the financial statements. A material claim where the outcome is not determinable is described below.

A statement of claim has been filed against the Crown and other parties alleging damages of $39.7 million in connection with an implied breach of contractual obligations. The Crown has filed its statement of defence. The Crown is unable to assess the possibility of settlement and the amount at risk or estimate the amount of any settlement. No accrual for this contingency has been made in the financial statements.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Fund's financial instruments consist of cash in transit, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value because of their short terms to maturity. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Fund is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended March 31, 2008

1. AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE

The Real Property Disposition Revolving Fund (“the Fund”) provides, on a cost recovery basis, routine disposals of real property assets no longer required in order to generate revenue for the Crown.

The Fund has a continuing non-lapsing authority from Parliament to make payments out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the purposes of working capital, the total of which is not to exceed $5,000,000 at any time.

All proceeds of sale are deposited to the Consolidated Revenue Fund net of disposal costs and expenses. In accordance with the terms and conditions approved by the Treasury Board, any year end accumulated surplus in the Fund in excess of $5,000,000 is deposited to the Consolidated Revenue Fund. The amount transferred to the Consolidated Revenue Fund in 2007-2008 was $8,796,426 (2006-2007: $6,741,867).

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

The significant accounting policies are as follows:

b) Revenue recognition
Revenues are recognized in the period in which both the title is transferred to the purchaser and the full payment is received by the Fund.

c) Work in process
Work in process includes labour and disbursements incurred for services performed or goods delivered for sales or transfers of properties not finalized at the fiscal year end.

d) Deposits on disposals
Deposits on disposals represent receipts on future disposals of properties that are not closed at the fiscal year end.

3. NET ASSETS

The accumulated surplus is the accumulation of each fiscal year's surpluses since the inception of the Fund. The accumulated net charge against the Fund’s authority is the non-lapsing authority amount that has been used since the inception of the Fund.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended March 31, 2008

1. AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE

The Optional Services Revolving Fund (“the Fund”) provides specialized services to client departments, such as communication procurement services, taxi management system, travel management services, central removal services and central freight services. The Fund also procures vaccines and drugs on behalf of provinces and territories.

On November 30, 2006, the Fund received authorization from the Treasury Board to contribute $4,000,000 from its accumulated surplus for the implementation of Budget 2006 expenditure restraint measures.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies are as follows:

b) Revenue recognition
Recoveries from the vaccine program are recognized using a blended rate established by fixed price contracts and based on the proportion of total goods delivered at year end. Any losses on the fixed price contracts are recognized during the period in which they are identified.

Locally shared support services revenues are recognized as service provider costs are provided to the Fund.

Revenues earned on communication, printing and audio-visual services are recognized using the completed contract method.

Traffic management recoveries consist of travel commissions, central freight and central removal services. Travel commissions and central removal services recoveries are recognized based on service utilization whereas central freight recoveries are recognized as service provider costs are provided to the Fund.

c) Capital assets
Capital assets are recorded at their acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset. All capital assets were fully amortized as at March 31, 2007.

d) Pension plan
Employees of the Fund are covered by the Public Service Superannuation Act and the Supplementary Retirement Benefits Act. The Government of Canada’s portion of the pension cost is included in the employee benefits charge assessed against the Fund. The actual payment of the pension is made from the Public Service Superannuation and Supplementary Retirement Benefits Accounts.

e) Employee termination benefits, vacation pay and time-off in lieu
Termination benefits accrue to employees over their years of service with the Government of Canada as provided for under collective agreements, and the estimated costs of these benefits are recorded in the accounts as they are earned by the employees.

1. AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE

The Defence Production Revolving Fund (“the Fund”) was established by Section 15 of the Defence Production Act. It was established in 1951 for the purpose of:

a) financing the stockpiling of defence supplies or strategic materials;

b) making loans or advances to aid in defence procurement, such as working capital loans for advance payments on contracts, but not including loans or advance payments for capital purposes; and

c) permitting initial payments for defence supplies which can be promptly billed to a Government department, agency or an associated government in advance of delivery of goods.

The Adjustment of Accounts Act (S.C. 1980, c.17) had the effect of creating a separate Defence Production Loan Account for loans or advances authorized under the Defence Production Act, item (b) above.

The Fund and the Defence Production Loan Account have a joint continuing non-lapsing authority from the Parliament to make payments out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund, the total of which is not to exceed $100 million at any time.

STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY

We have prepared the accompanying financial statements of the Telecommunications and

These financial statements were prepared in accordance with the significant accounting policies set out in Note 2 of the statements, on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of these financial statements rests with the
management of the Fund. The information included in these financial statements is based on management's best estimates and judgment with due consideration given to materiality. To fulfill its accounting and reporting responsibilities, management maintains a set of accounts which provides a centralized record of the Fund's financial transactions. Financial information submitted to the Public Accounts of Canada and included in the Departmental Performance Report is consistent with these financial statements.

Management develops and disseminates financial management and accounting policies and
issues specific directives which maintain standards of financial management, accounting and reporting. Management maintains systems of financial management and internal control which give due consideration to costs, benefits and risks. They are designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are properly authorized by Parliament, are executed in accordance with prescribed regulations, and are properly recorded to maintain accountability of government funds and safeguard the assets under the Fund's administration. Management also seeks to assure the objectivity and integrity of data in its financial statements by the careful selection, training and development of qualified staff, by organizational arrangements that provide appropriate divisions of responsibility, and by communication programs aimed at ensuring that its regulations, policies, standards and managerial authorities are understood throughout the organization.

With the exception of the statement of authority provided and the reconciliation of unused
authority, management has presented the financial statements to external auditors who have audited them and have provided an independent opinion which is appended to these financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended March 31, 2008

1. AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE

The Consulting and Audit Canada Revolving Fund ("the Fund") is a Special Operating Agency that provides, on an optional and fee-for-service basis, consulting and audit services to federal departments and agencies. Upon request, these services are also provided to provincial, territorial, municipal and aboriginal governments in Canada, to foreign governments and to international organizations.

On November 30, 2006, the Fund received authorization from the Treasury Board to contribute $6,000,000 from its accumulated surplus for the implementation of Budget 2006 expenditure restraint measures.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies are as follows:

b) Revenue recognition
Revenues on consulting and audit services performed by the Fund are earned primarily on a daily rate basis and are recognized as the services are provided.

For fixed price projects, revenues are recognized using the percentage of completion method based on the proportion of services provided at year end. Any losses on fixed price projects are recognized during the period they are identified.

c) Capital assets
Capital assets are recorded at their acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows:

Category	Estimated useful life
Informatics hardware	3 to 5 years
Informatics software	3 to 5 years
Leasehold improvements	Lesser of the remaining term of the occupancy instrument or useful life of the improvement

f) Interest on draw down
Interest is charged to the Fund at a rate set by the Department of Finance and is calculated monthly on the credit balance of the accumulated net charge against the Fund’s authority account.

3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

In 2007-2008, the Fund changed its accounting policy and recorded an accrual to recognize the allowance for employee termination benefits on service with the Government of Canada prior to April 1, 1992, the date the Fund was established.

The Treasury Board funded these severance entitlements for a period of 15 years from the commencement date of the Fund which ended on March 31, 2007. Effective April 1, 2007, the funding from Treasury Board ceased as this 15 year period ended. Henceforth, the Fund will record the full liability of these severance entitlements.

Accordingly, the Fund has restated its financial position as at March 31, 2007 as well as its results of operations and cash flow for the year then ended to reflect the new obligation. As a result of this change in accounting policy, the 2006-2007 operating expenses were reduced by $259,989, the net liabilities at the beginning of the 2006-2007 fiscal year were increased by $1,987,094 and the allowance for employee termination benefits was increased by $1,727,105 as at March 31, 2007.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended March 31, 2008

1. AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE

The Translation Bureau Revolving Fund (“the Fund”) is a Special Operating Agency that provides, on a cost recovery basis, translation, technolinguistic and other linguistic services to the judiciary and federal departments and agencies and, upon request, to other governments in Canada and international organizations.

On April 19, 2007, the Fund received authorization from the Treasury Board to access its unused authority for a total amount of up to $14,200,000 to allow sustained funding of its investment program ($6,000,000 in 2006-2007; $6,200,000 in 2007-2008; $2,000,000 in 2008-2009). The actual amount used in 2007-2008 was $3,281,823 ($4,616,021 in 2006-2007).

On November 30, 2006, the Fund received authorization from the Treasury Board to contribute $11,000,000 from its accumulated surplus for the implementation of Budget 2006 expenditure restraint measures.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

the deferred employee termination benefits are based on management's estimate of this asset rather than based on actuarial valuations; and,
the employee termination benefits liability is based on management's estimate of this liability rather than based on actuarial valuations.

The significant accounting policies are as follows:

b) Revenue recognition
Revenues from translation services performed by the Fund for other government departments and external clients are recognized using the percentage of completion method based on the proportion of services provided at year end.

Revenues from the Parliamentary Vote for translation services and revenues for interpretation services are recognized as costs are incurred by the Fund.

c) Capital assets
Capital assets are recorded at their acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows:

Category	Estimated useful life
Machinery and equipment	3 to 20 years
Informatics hardware	3 to 5 years
Informatics software	3 to 5 years
Assets under construction	Once in service, in accordance with asset class
Leasehold improvements	Lesser of the remaining term of the occupancy instrument or useful life of the improvement

An accrual was made for severance entitlements on service prior to April 1, 1995. The asset account “Deferred Employee Termination Benefits” represents benefits earned prior to April 1, 1995. The account is drawn down as benefits are paid to the related employees and become recoverable from the Treasury Board. The Treasury Board will continue to reimburse for termination benefits paid by the Bureau, for service prior to April 1, 1995, until March 31, 2010. After March 31, 2010, the Treasury Board has no further obligation to reimburse for benefits paid.

Table 9: Status Report on Major Crown Projects

Project name: Long-Term Vision and Plan for the Parliamentary Precinct

1. Description

PWGSC is the custodian of the buildings and grounds within the Parliamentary Precinct. Part of this important mandate is to maintain the historical and architectural integrity of these assets.

A Long Term Vision and Plan (LTVP) for the Parliamentary Precinct was developed to help guide the fulfillment of this mandate. It was originally approved in 2001. In May 2005, Cabinet instructed the Minister of PWGSC to return with options to revise the LTVP and its associated costs.

A revised LTVP was presented and approved by Cabinet in June 2007. This update which was undertaken in conjunction with the Parliamentary Partners – the Senate, the House of Commons and the Library of Parliament, established a comprehensive approach for rehabilitating the heritage buildings, providing additional parliamentary accommodations and creating a secure and welcoming environment for parliamentarians, staff, visitors and tourists.

One of the key features of the 2007 LTVP is a new Implementation Strategy. This strategy is composed of a broad strategic direction and a series of cyclical five-year programs. These cycles provide greater flexibility in planning and implementation based on changing government and parliamentary priorities, building conditions, etc. This flexibility allows for more accurate costing and more realistic project timelines.

Each five-year program is composed of three components:

The Major Capital Program of the first five-year program of work will focus on advancing the critical West Block Program. The West Block Program includes:
- Securing space in order to be able to empty the La Promenade and Wellington buildings. This required the fit-up of almost a million square feet of space in seven buildings in the downtown core (C.D. Howe, Clarica, Confederation, 119 Queen Street, 131 Queen Street, 155 Queen Street, and 181 Queen Street) and the relocation of over 1300 parliamentary staff and over a dozen major parliamentary support functions;
- Restoration and fit-up of the La Promenade building, Wellington building, former Bank of Montreal building replacing the Confederation room (Room 200) buildings and the construction of a new food production facility for Parliament Hill. These projects must be completed before the West Block Building Rehabilitation Project can begin;
- Stabilization and preparation of the West Block Building for the major renovation, including exterior stabilization of the building’s masonry and towers; and
- The West Block’s major rehabilitation and transformation to support the Chamber functions of the House of Commons (infill).
The Recapitalization Program includes a series of urgent building interventions (related mostly to exterior masonry repairs) required to ensure the ongoing viability of buildings and address health and safety issues. These projects are a part of the full restoration work that will ultimately be done on these buildings and by undertaking them early will ensure that future projects are less complicated and costly. The major focus of this program for the first five years includes:
- Centre Block rehabilitation of portions of the roof and ventilation towers;
- East Block exterior envelope repair of the 1867 wing with an initial focus on the north-west tower and the south-east corner;
- Confederation Building repairs to the entire building envelope, including masonry, windows and roof;
- Emergency work required – for example, the West Block water main; and
- Ground work such as the North perimeter wall and slope stabilization.
The Planning Program focuses on the development of more refined plans and reliable cost estimates for projects in the next five-year program. This includes:
- East Block renovation and Infill Feasibility Study;
- Security and Visitor Services Facility – Feasibility Study;
- West Terrace Pavilion – West Sector Master Plan; and
- Centre Block Renovations.

An important element in the LTVP is a strong reporting framework that enables the Parliamentary Partners and PWGSC to set both long-term direction and achieve immediate priorities. The revised LTVP has strong oversight and accountability measures that will ensure more effective management of the costing, planning and scheduling of the LTVP through new government approvals every five years. In addition to the annual Departmental Performance Report, the Parliamentary Precinct provides regular quarterly report cards to the Minister and the Parliamentary Precinct Oversight Advisory Committee. An annual report on progress of the LTVP program to the Treasury Board Secretariat is also provided.

6. Progress Report and Explanation of Variances

Progress against each of the three programs in fiscal year 2007-2008 to-date is highlighted below:

The Major Capital Program continues to focus on advancing the critical West Block Program. This includes vacating and fit-up of key buildings to enable vacating West Block so it can be renovated.
- Completed fit-up of 119 and 131 Queen Street, in order to relocate functions displaced from the La Promenade and Wellington buildings. The La Promenade and Wellington buildings will be used as interim Parliamentary Offices and Committee rooms during the renovation of West Block;
- Continuing renovation of La Promenade building – specifically interior demolition and replacement of windows;
- Wellington – relocation of occupants underway, design work for the building initiated;
- Former Bank of Montreal building renovation design work underway. This building will permanently replace West Block’s Confederation room (Room 200);
- Food Production Facility for Parliament Hill will be permanently moved off site to a remote location to free up space for core parliamentary functions. Design and construct processes underway; and
- West Block building – finishing rehabilitation work on the Southeast Tower, construction to start on the North Tower, design ongoing for the building renovation and infill; the infill will serve as an interim chamber for the House of Commons.
The Recapitalization Program continues to focus on a series of urgent building interventions (related mostly to exterior masonry repairs) required to ensure the ongoing viability of buildings and address health and safety issues. Work has been initiated and includes:
- Centre Block - project definition and determining scope of work for rooftop elements and towers;

Project Name: West Block Renovation Program

1. Description

The West Block, located within the parliamentary Precinct, is the oldest of the parliamentary buildings located on the "Hill". The three-storey building was built in three phases starting in 1859 and completed in 1906. The West Block provides accommodation for Members of Parliament (MPs) and for parliamentary functions and support services.

Renovations of the building are required for health and safety and asset integrity reasons. In order to implement the renovations, the building has to be completely vacated, thus requiring the provision of alternate accommodations for the MPs, parliamentary functions and support services. Consequently, the program of work will be undertaken in two phases.

Phase 1 involves:

Emergency stabilization of towers;
Repairs and conservation of the exterior masonry;
Fit-up of alternate accommodations in the Clarica, C.D. Howe, La Promenade, and Wellington buildings for MP offices, support services and committee rooms; and
The permanent relocation of the food production facility for Parliament Hill to a remote site.

Phase 2 involves:

Fit-up of space in the former Bank of Montreal building to relocate Confederation room (Ceremonial Room 200);
Asbestos abatement, interior demolition, and general rehabilitation of the West Block building; and
Associated infrastructure to support legislative functions during the renovation of the Centre Block, including a courtyard infill to accommodate chamber activities and construction of a security screening facility.

The most recent Preliminary Project Approval (June 2005) in current dollars is $769.2 million (GST excluded) / $821.5 million (GST included). This approval includes most swing space projects, however, it does not include the funding for the Wellington Building.

The current schedule calls for MPs and support staff to vacate the West Block in 2010-2011 (Phase 1), with rehabilitation work (Phase 2) to start shortly thereafter.

2. Project Phase:

West Block Building: Project Definition (Design); and
Interim Locations: Project Definition (Design), Project Implementation through Project Close-out

6. Progress Report and Explanations of Variances

Variances of the Major Milestones:

Previous reported milestones have been revised to reflect progressive iterations of the various projects within the West Block Renovation Program. Program milestones, the overall program/project schedules and program cost changes are in response to schedule slippage in the La Promenade Renovation Project. This slippage is the result of: challenges in relocating commercial tenants; changes to the functional program and design; and difficulties in relocating the La Promenade committee rooms. This delay impacts the move schedule for MPs from the West Block and therefore affects the overall West Block Renovation Program schedule. An active management approach has been instituted to avoid further delays, and lessons learned have been captured and are being applied to subsequent projects of this nature.

In addition, in an attempt to accelerate the overall schedule of the West Block Renovation Program, we are exploring strategies to advance the program schedule. This includes exploring the relocation of committee rooms at the same time as moving Members of Parliament. This would enable the West Block to be completely vacant during construction, therefore reducing potential construction work delays and allowing for simultaneous construction activities.

Progress Report and Status Update:

West Block Renovation Program activities for 2007-2008 to-date include:

La Promenade building demolition project (Package 1) was tendered and the demolition is nearing completion with replacement of windows ongoing. Package 2, fit-up of the building, has been posted for tender and expected to be awarded in the second quarter 2008-2009;
A prime consultant contract has been awarded for the former Bank of Montreal building in the first quarter 2008-2009;
A contract has been awarded (first quarter 2008-2009) for the design, construction and purchase of the Food Production Facility project. Design work is underway and construction is expected to begin in third quarter 2008-2009;
The West Block building design concept phase is underway and will continue to the end of design development at which point we will seek revised EPA;
The West Block Southeast Tower Repair project (pilot) remains under construction and is slated to be complete in the third quarter 2008-2009;
The North Tower Repair project’s construction contract has been awarded (first quarter 2008-2009) and the contractor is ready to start; and
The West Block Investigations Program is ongoing. For example, work is being conducted with three Canadian universities to analyze and recommend approaches for seismic reinforcement; approaches will be incorporated into the design of the main West Block building as well as the Centre and East Block buildings.

7. Industrial Benefits

A number of multi-million dollar contracts will be awarded for the building construction phase, as well as for the Building Components and Connectivity (BCC) component of the project (information technology systems, multimedia systems, furniture and miscellaneous equipment). The number of available jobs will be determined upon award of the West Block building construction contract and the BCC contracts for the West Block renovation program.

Project Name: Wellington Building Renovation Project

1. Description

The Wellington Building, located at 180 Wellington Street, in Ottawa is a recognized federal heritage building and key Parliament Hill asset. It is a six-storey structure first built in 1925 and later enlarged in the 1950’s by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The House of Commons has been the major tenant since the Crown expropriated the building in 1973 to provide future accommodation for the needs of Parliament and the Government of Canada. Seven commercial tenants occupy the ground floor facing Sparks Street.

Renovations of the building are required for health and safety reasons and involve extensive exterior and interior work. The building systems and life safety systems are obsolete and have long surpassed their life expectancy (over 40 years old). Work will comprise asbestos removal, upgrading obsolete building systems, meeting new seismic and environmental standards, reinforcing the structure, restoring the exterior masonry and renovating the interior space.

The planned start of construction is in the third quarter of 2009-2010, with completion of the committee rooms in the third quarter of 2014-2015 and parliamentary office units in the third quarter of 2015-2016. The building will be completely vacated during the renovations. The current cost estimate (Preliminary Project Approval (PPA) – February 2008) in constant dollars is $425.2 million (GST excluded) / $445.3 million (GST included).

The work will be completed in two overlapping stages to expedite project delivery.

The Wellington project is a key enabler of the LTVP by relocating Parliamentarians and functions from the West and East Blocks and thus facilitating the renovation of the Centre Block. Initially it will facilitate the West Block program by providing interim accommodations for the West Block committee rooms during its renovation. It will also provide office units for the Senate during renovation of the East Block.

6. Progress Report and Explanations of Variances

Variances of the Major Milestones:

Previous reported milestones have been revised to reflect progressive iteration of the project requirements. Project milestones, the overall project schedule and project cost changes can be attributed to three major drivers: change in the building's use, national building code changes, and construction cost escalation. The shift from the original project scope of restoring the Wellington Building to accommodate parliamentary support services to that of accommodating ten committee rooms and 69 parliamentary suites has had a significant impact on project requirements such as structural design, information technology, and security. In addition, subsequent to the 2001 cost estimate, the seismic code and sustainability standards have changed significantly.

Note: These changes have direct cost implications, which are compounded when project escalation is considered. The total estimated cost is now expressed in current dollars (including escalation) whereas previously it was in constant dollars.

Progress Report and Status Update:

Since obtaining PPA in June 2001, pre-planning activities were undertaken pertaining to the swing space needed to vacate the building and studies were conducted to address areas such as House of Commons program requirements, to analyze the need to completely empty the building (including commercial tenants) during the renovation, to assess the building condition, to develop approaches to meet sustainability objectives, the new seismic code, conservation of the heritage fabric, and to develop cost estimates, project schedules and risk management plans.

Revised PPA and partial EPA were received in February 2008. Current activities include the preparation of a Threat Risk Assessment and associated Security Design Guidelines, a Blast Mitigation Study, and the final Functional Program. A Prime Consultant contract for architectural services was awarded in the second quarter of 2008-2009.

7. Industrial Benefits

A number of multi-million dollar contracts will be awarded for the building construction phase, as well as for the Building Components and Connectivity (BCC) component of the project (information technology systems, multimedia systems, furniture and miscellaneous equipment). The number of available jobs will be determined upon award of the construction contract and the BCC contracts for the Wellington Building Renovation Project.

Project Name: Government of Canada Pension Modernization Project (GCPMP)

1. Description

The GCPMP is a major component of PWGSC's Transformation of Pension Administration agenda. The purpose of this project is to renew PWGSC's pension administration systems and services, and transform its business processes. This will allow PWGSC to provide industry standard pension administration services to employees, employers and pensioners.

PWGSC's approximately 40-year-old systems and business-process infrastructure for pension administration are in grave need of renewal. The limited capabilities of existing processes and the archaic technology of the legacy systems severely compromise PWGSC's ability to sustain current service levels. As well, they severely limit PWGSC's ability to offer future services that are comparable to the delivery performance and cost-effectiveness industry standards.

Employers are looking to provide better and broader services to their employees. Demographic trends indicate that by 2016, approximately 40% of the current public service will have become eligible for retirement. As a result, increasingly large numbers of employees are seeking retirement counselling and want access to capabilities that allow them to analyze their pension benefit options. Similarly, demands for enrolment services are increasing as new employees are hired to replace retirees. At the same time, pension administration business units face significant losses of experienced, trained personnel, as approximately 42% of the compensation trainers, supervisors, managers, and coaches will be eligible to retire by the fall of 2009.

The GCPMP has completed its Project Definition Phase. A Requirements Mapping and Gap Analysis for the business and technical requirements and the solution proposed was completed in the spring of 2006; this exercise included the mapping of the proposed future business processes as well as the core processes built into the solution’s commercial products. The project team has also completed the preliminary system design and implementation planning, developed substantive estimates, and received Effective Project Approval (EPA) from Treasury Board in June 2007.

In July 2007, the project began its Implementation Phase activities, which are expected to take 4� years to complete. The project will replace the current pension systems and business processes with commercial-off-the-shelf software applications and industry-standard business processes. Implementation will involve using a phased approach that will introduce new systems and functionality over five releases. The first release will first introduce a new interactive voice response system, as well as modern case management tools, for the pension services centre in Shediac, New Brunswick. The next release will add enhanced case management tools and document imaging capabilities. This will be followed by the replacement of the systems and processes currently used to administer both active member accounts and retired member accounts. Finally, the project will introduce new processes and system functionality in support of pension fund accounting and reporting.

The project is currently completing the first release, and is expecting to complete the implementation in the fall of 2008, as planned.

2. Project Phase

The two Transformation of Pension Administration projects, the GCPMP and the Centralization of Pension Services Delivery Project (CPSDP) are currently in their Implementation Phases. Implementation activities began in July 2007 and are expected to be completed in January 2012.

6. Progress Report and Explanation of Variances

The initiation and preliminary planning phases were conducted from September 2000 to January 2004, leading up to the finalization and presentation of the Treasury Board Submission for Preliminary Project Approval (PPA) in April 2004. Approval in principle was received from the Treasury Board in March 2004. PPA was received in May 2004, and the project proceeded with the Project Definition Phase.

Following the receipt of PPA, the GCPMP completed and released a draft Request for Proposal (RFP) for the procurement of a contractor for the development and implementation of business transformation and the COTS software-based solution. Industry feedback was analyzed and integrated into the final RFP, which was released in October 2004. The close of the bidding period was extended from December 2004 to January 2005 at the request of bidders. The evaluation of bids was conducted from February to May 2005. Contractor selection was based on the evaluation processes and scoring specified in the RFP. These processes included: the evaluation of hard copy proposals; an evaluation of each bidder’s corporate capabilities, references, presentations and readiness assessment; and the evaluation of financial proposals.

As the EDS Canada Inc. proposal was fully compliant and obtained the highest proposal score, EDS was the recommended bidder. An independent third-party (fairness monitor) was engaged to observe and verify that the evaluation process was conducted with integrity, objectivity and impartiality. The fairness monitor reported that the recommended bidder was selected appropriately.

On November 4, 2005, following approval from Treasury Board, a contract was signed with EDS for the provision of professional services to complete the Project Definition Phase for the new commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) based pension administration system. The EDS team, including product specialists from James Evans and Associates Ltd. (Penfax), Siebel Systems, and Pearson Canada Solutions (now named Vangent), joined the GCPMP team on November 7, 2005.

The Project Definition Phase activities completed in 2006-2007 included:

A Requirements Mapping and Gap Analysis between the GCPMP requirements specification and the selected COTS-based solution, including the mapping of the proposed future business processes as well as the product management processes;
The Architecture and Design of the new pension administration solution; and
The development of detailed implementation plans to support both the preparation of substantive cost estimates for all work to complete the GCPMP delivery and the TB Submission for Effective Project Approval.

Following the completion of these activities in late 2006, the GCPMP completed its business case and prepared its request for Effective Project Approval from the Treasury Board. The presentation of the TB Submission for EPA was delayed from its original target date of December 2006 to June 2007, to accommodate more pressing Treasury Board priorities.

The project is now proceeding with the actual implementation of the new COTS software based pension administration systems and services. To date the project has begun work on the implementation of two of the five planned releases. Implementation of the five releases is expected to occur over 4 � years and progress to date includes the following:

The implementation of Release 1.0, which is focused on Client Services, began in October 2007 and is expected to be completed in October 2008. This release is introducing new case management capabilities and an enhanced Interactive Voice Response system in the PWGSC Superannuation Directorate in Shediac, New Brunswick.
The implementation of Release 1.5, which is focused on enhanced case management and the imaging of documents, has been delayed by one month and will begin in June 2008. This delay was primarily due to delays in obtaining imaging expertise while the service provider (Cheque Redemption and Control Directorate in Matane, Quebec), completed the procurement of its professional services.
The implementation of Release 2.0, which is focused on the administration of active member accounts (including the calculation of estimates), began in January 2008. Detailed design of the new pension system and processes is currently in progress and is expected to be completed in September 2008.
The implementation of Release 2.5, which is focused on Service Buyback, Leave Without Pay, and Pension Benefit Division, is expected to begin in May 2009 and be completed in July 2010.
The implementation of Release 3.0, which is focused on the administration of retired member accounts and accounting functions, is expected to begin in April 2011 and be completed in October 2011.
Final project closeout is expected to be completed in January 2012.

The contract with EDS includes options for the completion of the releases of the GCPMP solution. These options include professional services, COTS software, and maintenance and support services as required to implement the new pension system for the Public Service Superannuation Act (PSSA). Although the project is focused on the PSSA administration, the project will implement a multi-plan solution that will provide for other pension plans within the public service.

7. Industrial Benefits

A multi-million dollar contract has been awarded for the COTS products, as well as for the implementation of the new systems and business processes, support services and ongoing maintenance. The products will include Penfax for core pension administration and Siebel for the Customer Relationship Management functions. Implementation of the new solution, business processes and associated business transformation, is the responsibility of the System Integrator to whom the contract was awarded. The implementation will be conducted in several phases over a four and a half year period (July 2007 to January 2012). During that time, it is expected that there will be some temporary positions required to support the system implementation and business transformation activities in both the National Capital Area and Shediac, New Brunswick. In the long term, the project will provide the infrastructure and processes essential to the sustainability of current pension administration operations, and positions, in Shediac, New Brunswick.

6. Progress Report and Explanations of Variances

The Project Management Plan was due February 5, 2004 — but was not finalized until August 13, 2004.
The Travel Card and Travel Call Centre were implemented on schedule April 1, 2004.
The On-line Booking Tool and Travel Portal were to have been rolled out at the same time as the Travel Card and Travel Call Centre, however; initial technological issues with the functionality of the On-line Booking Tool and operating the Travel Portal within the government secure network delayed the actual implementation until November 24, 2004.
The EMT Pilot Phase originally scheduled to commence in late July 2004 was delayed until December 5, 2005, due to design problems, contractual and authorities issues. This delay caused a delay in the government-wide roll-out, which commenced in June 2006.
STSI continues to work with Treasury Board Secretariat and other government departments to raise adoption of the full suite of travel services and tools.
STSI has completed the design and implementation of the project and is now in the process of transitioning to a steady-state program.

16. Expected Results for 2007-2008 To become the Government of Canada’s primary source for information regarding standing offers and supply arrangements; and To have all mandatory standing offers and supply arrangements available through the GoCM.
17. Results Achieved in 2007-2008 Following the launch of the GoCM in December 2006, PWGSC undertook a series of client consultations with the objective of increasing user satisfaction and increasing uptake of the tool. Four hundred online surveys were completed and ten focus groups were conducted across Canada. These consultations indicated a number of areas where the GoCM could be improved. PWGSC identified the user interface, content, and training as areas of concentration for version 2.0 of the tool. Users were involved over the summer of 2007 to influence the development of the user interface of version 2.0. PWGSC worked with a content aggregator to enhance GoCM content resulting in an improved experience for users. In addition, the entire online training site was revamped to correspond to the new user interface. Feedback from users indicated that the new version represented a significant improvement over the original version. User registration increased over 60% in the three months following the release of version 2.0. As part of the business case for the GoCM, PWGSC committed to making the standing offers and supply arrangements (~2,400) supporting the ten mandatory commodities available through the tool. In an effort to make the tool as useful as possible to clients, PWGSC decided to load all agreements (~8,500) for both the mandatory and non-mandatory commodities. This action exceeded the commitment made by PWGSC regarding the GoCM. PWGSC was required to meet a series of commitments with respect to receiving project funding from Treasury Board for the GoCM. All commitments have been met and PWGSC has closed the GoCM project. As of April 1, 2008, the GoCM is being operated under normal PWGSC authorities. It was initially anticipated that some benefits from GoCM would be derived from compliance with mandatory procurement instruments, automated business process efficiencies and leveraging the buying power across Government spending via accurate and timely purchasing information. This expectation was based on assumptions that the system would have operability with financial systems of departments, require mandatory use of the system and receive support for a centralized approach. These assumptions were overtaken by recent trends within the federal community. Decisions on similar large Informatics Technology (IT) projects have moved the government towards a more decentralized, incremental approach to large IT projects to better manage risks and costs. In addition, recent legislation has expanded deputy minister accountabilities established by the accounting officer role, to include administrative functions like human resources and procurement. This approach runs counter to centralized regimes like the GoCM. In response to this, a more collaborative approach, based on optional take-up and new, easier to use and access purchasing instruments, is required to meet these new accounting officer expectations as well as the call for a service-oriented approach on behalf of client departments. To support the new strategy, review and consultation is underway to determine the most appropriate approach given this new context. Given this shift in direction, and that at this time the GoCM is a partial tool, providing departments with an electronic catalogue that is not linked with their financial systems, exact savings cannot be determined. Savings opportunities through the use of pre-competed sources of supply were still accessed through the use of this system with a potential savings rate of 7-8%.

Government Response	The Government accepts this recommendation, and as indicated in the attached Action Plan, the ten recommendations contained within Chapter 5 of the Auditor General’s Report have been addressed and will be fully implemented prior to the initiation of the new tendering process.
Recommendation	5- That the Department of National Defence, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Treasury Board Secretariat include, in their annual Departmental Performance Reports, references to the Integrated Relocation-Program as it relates to their employees. Information on the numbers of employees using the Program, the costs, and the extent to which the purposes of the Program are being achieved must be included. This performance information must be included in DPRs beginning with Reports for the period ending 31 March 2008.
Government Response	The Government accepts this recommendation.
Recommendation	6- That PWGSC use information generated by monitoring the performance of the Integrated Relocation Program in the development of the next Request for Proposals issued for the Program’s contracts.
Government Response	The Government accepts this recommendation.
Recommendation	7- That PWGSC works closely with TBS and its client departments to develop a certification process designed to ensure the accuracy of data provided for inclusion in the Requests for Proposals and ensure that such a process is in place prior to the tendering of the next contracts for the Integrated Relocation Programs.
Government Response	The Government accepts this recommendation.

The results of this review need to be discussed with various stakeholders before follow-up action is taken. The work will be substantially completed by September 2007.
Recommendation	9- That Treasury Board Secretariat provide the Standing Committee on Public Accounts with a full explanation for the failure to provide the Auditor General and her Office with information on the logic model used to generate estimated business volumes for property management services during the audit of the Integrated Relocations Program. This explanation must be given to the Committee no later than 30 September 2007.
Government Response	TBS has reviewed all documentation and minutes in the sharing of the information with the Office of the Auditor General. The documentation on file indicates that the Office of the Auditor General was informed at all times that the numbers used for the section on Property Management Services of the Request For Proposal were constructed in the absence of complete or relevant data and were based on a number of assumptions (logic) made by the interdepartmental group. The assumptions made by the interdepartmental group were based on the knowledge and data available during the development of the RFP. The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat also confirms that the numbers used in the Request for Proposal were not actual business volumes but rather estimates for the sole purpose of bid evaluation.
