3.4  Other Items of Interest

Contribution to the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS)

On October 7, 2010, the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) was tabled in Parliament for the first time.  This Strategy will render environmental decision-making more transparent and accountable to Canadians.  Under the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) the Government of Canada is taking a major step forward by including environmental sustainability and strategic environmental assessment as an integral part of its decision-making processes.  The FSDS identifies four themes for action:

1. Addressing Climate Change and Air Quality
2. Maintaining Water Quality and Availability
3. Protecting Nature
4. Shrinking the Environmental Footprint – Beginning with Government

The FSDS outlines specific targets and implementation strategies for federal departments and agencies to adhere to.  Theme IV of the FSDS, titled Shrinking the Environmental Footprint – Beginning with Government, outlines targets related to greening government operations.  Although Infrastructure Canada is not one of the 26 departments required to table a Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy (DSDS) or to report on its contribution to the FSDS, Infrastructure Canada does play, and will continue to play, a key role in enabling federal partners, other levels of government, as well as small and large Canadian communities in moving towards a more sustainable future.

The department’s policies and core funding activities support thousands of projects across the country that contribute to a cleaner environment in areas such as drinking water, wastewater and stormwater management, clean energy, public transit, brownfield redevelopment and capacity-building for community sustainability planning.  These infrastructure investments directly support two of the FSDS themes – Maintaining Water Quality and Availability, and Addressing Climate Change and Air Quality.

To meet the requirements and principles of the Strategy, Infrastructure Canada has implemented green corporate initiatives such as continuing to consider green procurement objectives when purchasing commodities such as computers, printers and photocopiers, green meetings, paper consumption, green buildings, printing units, surplus electronic equipment, green procurement training and performance evaluations, which support the fourth theme:  Shrinking the Environmental Footprint – Beginning with Government.  In 2010-11, the department completed its relocation from seven different locations in Ottawa, where all divisions are now consolidated in the city’s first building to target the Canada Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certificate.  Additionally, Infrastructure Canada is moving forward with the implementation of its recent Greening Action Plan, which includes aspects related to green procurement, waste and energy reduction, and environmental practices, awareness and promotion.  More details on Infrastructure Canada’s green procurement initiatives can be found in the Supplementary Information Tables on Greening Government Operations, accessible through Treasury Board Secretariat’s website: http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/dpr-rmr/2010-2011/inst/inf/st-ts03-eng.asp.

^[2] “Core public infrastructure” refers to the following asset categories: bridges, roads, water, wastewater, public transit, and cultural and recreational facilities.

^[3] Note that the $33 billion Building Canada Plan includes the $2.1 billion Gateways and Border Crossings Fund and the $1 billion Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative, administered by Transport Canada, the Goods and Services Tax Rebate, managed by Canada Revenue Agency, and the $1.2 billion P3 Canada Fund, which falls under the responsibility of PPP Canada.

^[4] While new funding to support the G8 Summit (2010) was appropriated by Parliament through the Border Infrastructure Fund, it is reported separately in this document since no border funding was used for G8 Summit-related projects.

^[5] Type is defined as follows: Previously committed to—committed to in the first or second fiscal year before the subject year of the report; Ongoing—committed to at least three fiscal years before the subject year of the report; and New—newly committed to in the reporting year of the DPR.

^[6] Commencing in the 2009-10 Estimates cycle, the resources for Internal Services are displayed separately from other program activities.  They are no longer distributed among the remaining program activities, as was the case in previous Main Estimates.  This has affected the comparability of spending and FTE information by Program Activity between fiscal years.

^[7a] The Planned Spending figures are as reported in the 2010-11 Report on Plans and Priorities updated with funding adjustments obtained through 2010-11 Supplementary Estimates in order to provide a truer reflection of the department’s 2010-11 actual planned spending.

^[7b] There is no funding allocation for the Support for the G8 Summit 2010 in 2010-11 Main Estimates, as the program was scheduled to be completed in 2009-10.  Re-profiling of G8 funding from 2009-10 to 2010-11 was approved by Parliament in the 2010-11 Supplementary Estimates A on June 30, 2010.

^[8] There is no funding allocation for the National Trails Coalition in the 2010-11 Main Estimates, Planned Spending, Total Authorities and Actual Spending, as the program activity was completed in 2009-10.

^[9] There was no spending under the National Trails Coalition Program Activity in 2010-11, and as such, it is not further addressed in Section II.

^[10] Once project funding under BCF-CC is approved, it is delivered by regional agencies.

^[11] The 2010-11 target of $4.4 billion for dollars leveraged includes funding from both Infrastructure Canada and partners.

^[12] The 2010-11 target of $700 million for dollars leveraged includes funding from both Infrastructure Canada and partners.

^[13] This date has subsequently been extended to October 31, 2011.

^[14] This date has subsequently been extended to October 31, 2011.

^[15] As of March 31, 2011, this Program Activity has been fully implemented.

^[16] There is no FTE requirement for the Support for the G8 Summit 2010 in 2010-11, as the program was scheduled to be completed in 2009-10.

^[17] The amounts in the 2009-10 EAP Spending, and 2010-11 EAP Spending columns include both Statutory and Voted Spending (Contributions and Operating).

^[18] Information on the National Trails Coalition program can be found in the departmental website at:  http://www.buildingcanada-chantierscanada.gc.ca/creating-creation/nrt-srn-eng.html

^[19] The Total Authorities figure for the Internal Services Program Activity in 2010-11 is from the 2010-11 Main Estimates.  This figure is much lower than the 2010-11 Planned Spending and Actual Spending due to the fact that when the 2010-11 Main Estimates were prepared, the department was in transition.

^[20] The 2010-11 Actual figure for the Internal Services Program Activity in 2010-11 is higher than the 2010-11 Planned, due to the fact that when the 2010-11 Report on Plans and Priorities was prepared, the department was not in a position to determine the full impact of the Economic Action Plan, i.e. how many Internal Services FTEs would be required.

^[21] Details on the Condensed Statement of Financial Position at the end of Fiscal Year on March 31, 2010 (2009-10) can be found at Infrastructure Canada’s financial statements at: http://www.infc.gc.ca/media/pub/index-eng.html.
