Name of Horizontal Initiative: National Anti-Drug Strategy

Name of Lead Department(s): Department of Justice

Lead Department Program Activity: Justice policies, laws and programs

Start Date: 2007-08

End Date: 2011-12 and ongoing

Total Federal Funding Allocation (from start date to end date): $588.9 M (Total Allocation has been changed from $578.6M to reflect changes to Health Canada amounts).

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):

The National Anti-Drug Strategy was launched by the Government of Canada in 2007, with a clear focus on illicit drugs and a particular emphasis on youth. Its goal is to contribute to safer and healthier communities through coordinated efforts to prevent use, treat dependency and reduce production and distribution of illicit drugs. It encompasses three action plans: prevention, treatment and enforcement.

The prevention action plan supports efforts to prevent youth from using illicit drugs by enhancing their awareness and understanding of the harmful social and health effects of illicit drug use, and to develop and implement community-based interventions and initiatives to prevent illicit drug use. The treatment action plan supports effective treatment and rehabilitation systems and services by developing and implementing innovative and collaborative approaches. The enforcement action plan aims to contribute to the disruption of illicit drug operations in a safe manner, particularly targeting criminal organizations.

Shared Outcome(s):

• Reduced demand for illicit drugs in targeted populations and areas;
• Reduced impacts of illicit drug use through prevention and treatment efforts; and
• Reduced supply of illicit drugs.

Governance Structure(s):

The governance structure of the Strategy consists of an Assistant Deputy Minister Steering Committee and working groups on policy and performance, prevention and treatment, enforcement, and communications. The governance structure is supported by the Youth Justice and Strategic Initiatives Section of the Department of Justice Canada.

The Assistant Deputy Minister Steering Committee (ADMSC), which is chaired by the Department of Justice Canada, oversees the implementation of the Strategy, making decisions necessary to advance the initiative, where required, and ensuring appropriate and timely outcomes for the initiative and accountability in the expenditure of initiative resources. The ADMSC prepares questions for the consideration of Deputy Ministers, where appropriate.

The Prevention and Treatment Working Group, chaired by Health Canada, oversees the implementation of the Prevention and Treatment Action Plans. The Enforcement Working Group, chaired by the Department of Public Safety Canada, oversees the implementation of the Enforcement Action Plan. The Policy and Performance Working Group, chaired by the Department of Justice Canada, oversees policy directions and outcomes for the Strategy and the work of the Sub-Committee on Evaluation and Reporting. The Communications Working Group, chaired by the Department of Justice Canada, oversees communication of the Strategy, including making decisions necessary to advance communication of the initiative and ensuring coordination of communication.

Performance Highlights:

For 2010-11, the 12 federal partner departments and agencies involved in the NADS continued to implement the Strategy as planned, with its focus on contributing to safer and healthier communities through coordinated efforts to prevent use, treat dependency, and reduce the production and distribution of illicit drugs. Since certain components of the Strategy will sunset in 2012, partners began planning for their renewal and discussing the Strategy's scope in general. In addition, as is required by the accountability structure for the Strategy, an impact evaluation was initiated.

The overall operating environment did not change in 2010-11. Bill S-10, which proposed mandatory minimum penalties for serious drug offences, was not passed by Parliament; therefore, the legislation-related components of the Strategy were not implemented.

The following tables present the performance results for each federal partner's program activities.

Expected Results for 2010–11:

Link 1:

The mass media campaign plans to enhance the capacity of targeted populations to make informed decisions about illicit drug use. The mass media campaign's progress and contribution to this outcome will be measured by the change in the level of capacity among targeted populations to prevent illicit drug use and related risk-taking behaviour through post campaign public opinion research conducted with both youth 13-15 years of age and their parents, measured against the baseline surveys that were conducted with parents in 2008 and with youth in 2009. The campaign's success will also be measured through website hits, booklet downloads, calls to 1-800-O-Canada and the number of booklets ordered/shipped; and by evidence of capacity changes for influencing decision-making and behaviours around illicit drug use and associated consequences in targeted populations.

Link 2:

DSCIF plans to enhance the capacity of targeted populations to make informed decisions about illicit drug use. The program's success and progress will be measured by the level/nature of acquired or improved knowledge/skills to avoid illicit drug use within the targeted population, and will be measured by evidence that capacity changes are influencing decision-making and behaviours around illicit drug use and associated consequences in targeted populations.

DSCIF also plans to strengthen community responses to illicit drug issues in targeted areas, and will measure their progress based on the type/nature of ways that community responses have been strengthened in targeted areas. For example, the adoption/integration of evidence-informed/best practices within the targeted areas will indicate the program's contribution to this outcome.

Link 3:

DTFP plans to increase availability of, and access to, effective treatment services and programs for at-risk youth in areas of need. The Program's success and progress will be measured by the type/nature of treatment services and supports that have been made available by end of FY and will be measured by the program/service utilization trends associated with their populations and areas of need.

DTFP will also seek to improve treatment systems, programs and services to address illicit drug dependency of affected Canadians. The Program's success and progress in this plan will be measured by the extent to which treatment system improvements have been made; perceptions of stakeholders; and, the extent to which uptake/integration of evidence-informed practices has occurred.

Link 4:

The First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) plans to increase availability of, and access to, effective treatment services and programs for Aboriginal populations in areas of need (as determined by regional needs assessments). The progress of this plan will be measured by the nature of new or enhanced services that have been made available through funding in targeted areas and are based on research or best practices. FNIHB also plans to improve treatment systems, programs and services to address illicit drug dependency in Aboriginal populations in areas of need. The progress of this plan will be measured by the proportion of treatment facilities accredited to F/P/T or other appropriate standards of accreditation; the changes in stakeholder/client perceptions regarding the extent to which treatment services have been improved in NADS-supported investment areas; the types of collaborative/partnerships with Aboriginal organizations to improve systems, programs and services; and the extent to which an uptake/integration of evidence-informed practices has occurred. Lastly, FNIHB plans to reduce risk-taking behaviours among clients of treatment programs. The success of this plan will be measured by changes in stakeholder/client perceptions regarding the extent to which clients are make healthy decisions concerning substance use post-Strategy compared to pre-Strategy.

Link 5:

Health Canada plans to increase compliance and reduce risk associated with the diversion of precursor chemicals. The success of this plan will be measured by the level of potential diversion of precursor chemicals and controlled substances (as indicated by Loss and Theft Reports), and by the rates of compliance with policies and regulations.

Health Canada also plans to reduce the health, safety and security risks associated with illicit drug production. The success and progress of this plan will be measured by the size of synthetic drug production disrupted (as indicated by the detailed requests for authorizing disposal of synthetic substances).

Link 6:

Drug Analysis Services (DAS) plans to improve drug enforcement intelligence and evidence. The success and progress of this plan will be measured by the perceptions of stakeholders regarding the benefit and timeliness of DAS contribution to court/police response. DAS also plans to increase safety in dismantling illicit drug operations. The success and progress of this plan will be measured by the number and nature of injuries to law enforcement officers and other first responders during the investigation and dismantling of illegal drug operations, and will also be measured by the level of additional risk to the environment as a result of investigation and dismantling of illegal drug operations.

Public Opinion Research (POR-08-07) "NADS Youth On-line Baseline Survey" was conducted prior to the December 2009 launch of the youth mass media campaign targeting youth aged 13-15 years. Youth drug awareness, knowledge and perception levels were measured and will be compared to Public Opinion Research (POR-10-13) "NADS Advertising and Recall Tracking Survey" when results are available.

Results of the 2010-11 youth "drugsnot4me" campaign were positive with over 527,000 visits to the website and over 1,000 drug prevention “stories” submitted by youth. Additionally, the campaign's Facebook fan page attracted over 63,000 followers within nine months (launched in July 2010) and the television ads were viewed over 94,000 times on YouTube. The 'drugsnot4me' website consistently ranked among the top ten most visited pages on the Health Canada website.

During 2010-11, 35 new contribution agreements were signed. DSCIF is employing a cluster evaluation approach which clusters projects that have the same primary outcome to better determine the extent to which the DSCIF is achieving its intended outcomes. Results from this approach will be available in 2012-13.

The projects funded across Canada in alignment with the DTFP objectives have shown progress towards meeting the Program's intended outcomes and contributing to strengthening Canada's drug treatment services and systems. The Systems projects began to demonstrate evidence of greater collaboration between service providers, and more importantly, increasing collaboration at the community/municipal level. The recipients viewed the DTFP as a catalyst to introduce new or enhanced services and to enhance their treatment systems.

Of the 29 projects funded to date, many are in the early stages of implementation. However, projects have demonstrated early signs of progress towards results. While treatment projects are in the early stages of implementation, evidence to date indicates significant progress in establishing community partnerships and linkages in support of new and enhanced treatment services, and enhanced collaboration amongst P/Ts on national level activities such as the development, collection and reporting of national treatment indicators. Funded projects have already helped to produce a wider range of services by developing partnerships within the community, expanding hours of service, offering different locations when working with clients, and offering a range of activities to help attract youth to their services.

The DTFP Implementation Evaluation also found that collaboration is beginning to occur with the projects that are most mature. It also provides some early indication of an enhanced capacity to plan and deliver a range of treatment services and programs to targeted populations. In addition, partnerships are being formed to provide better services across communities and quite a few projects have started offering services at different times and locations in order to better reach at-risk youth.

During 2010-11, FNIHB's NADS-related investments continued to be consistent with the Treatment Action Plan goal of improving the quality, effectiveness and accessibility of on-reserve addictions services. In particular, NADS funding continued to be invested in:

• Treatment centre re-profiling/modernization efforts aimed at strengthening and expanding NNADAP services vis-à-vis community needs and recognized service gaps (e.g., women, youth, and families). During 2010-11, nine centres re-oriented or expanded their services to meet population needs per the NADS guidelines. Since 2007, 33 treatment centres have re-focussed programming to be youth-specific (n = 4), offer family treatment (n = 5), and strengthen their capacity to address mental health issues and concurrent disorders (n = 24), including adapting services to the needs of illicit drug users;
• Improving service quality by supporting treatment centres to become accredited with a recognized body. FNIHB is currently working toward a goal of achieving 100% accreditation by 2013. During 2010-11, six additional treatment centres became involved in the accreditation process. In total, 43 of 58 (74%) treatment centres were accredited in 2010-11, increasing from 37 (64%) in 2009-10;
• Increasing the number of addictions treatment centre workers certified to 186 of 272 (68%). FNIHB is on course to meet the NADS target of 80% worker certification by 2013. FNIHB is continuing to work towards a goal of increasing the number of qualified addictions workers within the NNADAP system by supporting certified educational opportunities (e.g., training on treating illicit drug use) and providing financial incentives to workers to obtain and retain certification with a recognized national body;
• Continued progress on the implementation of eight mental wellness teams across Canada (Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Atlantic Regions, including an Inuit-specific pilot in Labrador) in select First Nations and Inuit communities; and
• Continued development of the NNADAP Renewal Process, an evidence-based review. NNADAP Renewal is an on-going, NADS-supported review of on-reserve addictions services that is being carried out in partnership with First Nations leadership and representative organizations. The aim of the process is to improve the quality, effectiveness and accessibility of on-reserve addictions services (per the NADS guidelines), with particular attention to the needs of youth, women, families and illicit drug users. This review will result in the development of a renewed framework for on-reserve addiction services by summer of 2011. In 2010-11, a draft of this framework was unanimously endorsed by First Nations leadership at the Assembly of First Nations Special Chief's Assembly on December 15, 2010. Implementation of the framework will be guided by the NNADAP Renewal Leadership Team–a national committee with broad, cross-Canada representation from First Nations treatment centres, communities, leadership, research, and a range of other key stakeholders and partners, which met four times during 2010-11.

Health Canada has three tools to measure its performance in preventing the diversion of precursor chemicals and controlled substances for illegal use: loss and theft reports, compliance inspections, and drug disposal requests. Licensed dealers must report incidents involving the loss or theft of controlled substances and precursor chemicals to Health Canada when they occur. In 2010-11, Health Canada received 7,418 loss and thefts reports, which represented a slight increase over the previous year. Reminders of the security requirements for licence holders and follow up visits by inspectors were conducted to monitor compliance to the Regulations. In 2010-11, Health Canada inspected 97% of its Class A licensed dealers and one licence was revoked. In addition, 75 targeted inspections were conducted of growers authorized under the Marihuana Medical Access Program.

Health Canada works with law enforcement partners to disrupt illicit drug production. When a drug is seized, law enforcement officers request Health Canada's authorization to dispose of it. In 2010-11, Health Canada processed 137,020 requests for disposal of seized controlled substances, which represented an increase of 3% over the previous year. This partnership with law enforcement has produced results that would not be possible without the synergy created by the National Anti-Drug Strategy.

Link 6:

DAS contributed to improved drug enforcement intelligence and evidence as the analytical capacity of evidences was increased with new personnel (2 analysts) added to laboratories. More specifically, DAS analyzed 121,346 suspected illicit drug exhibits submitted by enforcement officials, assisted in the shutdown and dismantling of 33 clandestine drug laboratories, and provided expert testimony in court. All certificates of analysis/reports were provided within the 60-day service standard or before the court date. As for the due date, considering the backlog that DAS was facing, rush analyses were undertaken upon the client's court dates so the certificates/reports were issued on time. Thus, to the Services' knowledge, no court cases were lost because of DAS delivery time.

DAS contributed to reduced health, safety and security risks associated with illicit drug production by assisting with the safe shutdown and dismantling of seized clandestine drug laboratories and by providing training to law enforcement officers and first respondents. Thirty-three laboratories were shut down with DAS assistance and 46 training sessions were delivered. The extent to which operations were safely dismantled was assessed by tracking the number and nature of injuries and/or environmental risk caused by unsafe handling of chemicals. There was only one minor injury reported in 2010-11 for clandestine laboratories where DAS provided assistance and no incident associated with dismantlement that would have had an environmental impact was reported to DAS.

Canadian Institutes of Health and Research (CIHR) have launched three funding opportunities for the purpose of contributing to meet the Intermediate and Long-term Outcomes of the Treatment Action Plan. A continuing increase in the number of applications suggests a higher visibility of the Initiative and a good research capacity in the area of illicit drug research. The funding results of these opportunities increased the total number of grants funded by CIHR for the initiative to 18 (three Research Team Grants (partial funding from the NADS), two Operating Grants, 11 Catalyst Grants, and two Knowledge Synthesis Grants).

CIHR also held a Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention Initiative Workshop, attended by funded researchers, CIHR staff and federal government researchers and representatives. This workshop allowed researchers to present the results of their studies, and focus groups discussed the strategic direction that should be taken should the Initiative renewal be funded. These discussions also informed CIHR for the elaboration of its next five-year strategic plan.

The national coordination of the Enforcement Action Plan (EAP) was accomplished through the following activities:

• Public Safety Canada led the Enforcement Action Plan Working Group (September 2010) and the EAP sub-working group on Storing and Disposition of Offence-Related Property, in partnership with Health Canada, in response to law enforcement concerns and discussions at the National Coordinating Committee on Organized Crime; and consulted and compiled EAP emerging issues for the NADS Policy Planning Retreat in February 2011.
• Public Safety Canada hosted a two-day Emerging Issues Workshop in November 2010 for enforcement stakeholders to inform the Strategy; participated in the Synthetic Drug Initiative meetings; and coordinated input and participated in domestic and international fora to advance Canadian supply reduction policy objectives (e.g., United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs (March 2010), Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (November 2010, February 2011), the G8 Ministerial Meeting on Transatlantic Cocaine Trafficking (March 2011), Canada-Mexico security consultations (November 2010), Federal/Provincial/Territorial Coordinating Committee of Senior Officials – Drug Issues Working Group (April 2010, November 2010), Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) – Drug Abuse Committee meetings (May 2010, August 2010, November 2010).
• Public Safety Canada appeared before the Senate Committee with respect to Bill S-10; advanced the development of guides and manuals in support of the Drug Endangered Children project through an agreement with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP); funded seven research and/or contributions initiatives in support of the Enforcement Action Plan; and supported the Minister of Public Safety through briefings related to emerging policy issues and meetings with stakeholders (e.g., the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, the Canadian Association of Police Boards, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)) and with international counterparts (e.g., Ambassadors of Mexico, Japan, Paraguay, and Israel; the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, and Secretary of DHS).

Of the 21 NADS projects that have impact evaluations, all have reported positive changes in risk and protective factors that are known to lead to drug-related offending. Actual reductions in offending among the targeted populations are expected to occur in the longer term (5+ years). These results will be available for NADS projects that are part of an impact evaluation, including those that include a one year follow-up on youth after their participation in the program.

DEC is an early intervention initiative that seeks to stop the cycle of child abuse caused by the exposure to drug activity. It involves a resource guide which has now been translated into French. The guide is part and parcel to the training programs focused toward service delivery personnel, supervisors/managers, protocol partners, and the general public. The resource manual was completely revised with Canadian content. A facilitator guide was also finalized. DOCAS, in collaboration with Zebra Family Services and Alberta Health Services, held a DEC workshop for “train the trainers”, resulting in 24 new individuals accredited in delivering DEC programming. As a result, several subsequent DEC training sessions were held throughout Alberta (i.e., Calgary, Edmonton, Ft. McMurray, Lethbridge and Edson), preparing a total of 152 frontline personnel.

The Aboriginal Shield Program (ASP)

In November 2010, 38 DOCAS personnel, including community champions, were certified as ASP trainers in Edmonton, Alberta. This approach has enabled DOCAS to offer the ASP to a greater number of Aboriginal communities throughout Canada. The ASP reflects the three main Aboriginal cultures in Canada: Inuit, First Nations, and Métis.

Drug Awareness Officer Training (DAOT)

In June 2010, a five-day DAOT course was held in Halifax, Nova Scotia and attended by 31 participants from different police forces. In February 2011, the Quebec City DAOT workshop held in French resulted in the participation of 24 representatives of municipal police services and other enforcement agencies operating in the Greater Québec City area.

National Youth Intervention and Diversion (NYID) workshops were provided to two detachments in 2010-11. The workshops focused on risk and protective factors, police obligations under the Youth Criminal Justice Act to consider alternatives to charging, and the use of a pre-charge youth screening tool (YLS/CMI-SV) to assess the risk of youth offenders to reoffend. Workshops were extended to community agencies as well as local RCMP detachment members. An implementation review was completed in 2010-11 and results indicate that NYID workshops provided an opportunity for members to increase their awareness of community-based youth-serving agencies and referral options.

Early indications are that referrals have increased at NYIDP detachments with a dedicated youth worker to accept referrals from detachment members. The number of referrals by RCMP members at NYIDP detachments is being continuously tracked and changes over time will be more thoroughly assessed during the impact assessment.

Focused enforcement efforts are being used to address the synthetic drug and marihuana grow operation (MGO) problem in Canada. Working groups have been formed internally in order to interface on NADS-funded positions distributed across the organization. An external working group, including the RCMP, Health Canada, Canada Border Services Agency, Environment Canada, Revenue Canada, Public Safety Canada, Department of Justice Canada, Public Prosecution Service of Canada, and Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, has been formed to collaborate on the Synthetic Drug Initiative. This working group meets quarterly and focuses on providing operational support to each other. Initiatives such as Project Catalyst have grown from these quarterly meetings as well as the identification of gaps in policy and drug regulations. Based on this “gap analysis”, a separate working group has been formed, with Public Safety at the helm, which informs Health Canada officials responsible for Policy and Regulatory Affairs so it can consider making changes/additions to the Precursor Control Regulations, Rescheduling Amphetamine Type Stimulants, and updating destruction authorities for seized controlled substances and precursors to act and address the concerns of the RCMP.

The RCMP developed the Marihuana Grow Initiative (MGI) which, to a certain degree, is complementary to the Synthetic Drug Initiative. The MGI provides a roadmap to the Coordinated Marihuana Enforcement Teams (CMETs) and also to community partners, as law enforcement cannot solve this problem alone. It is an initiative based on three key components: enforcement, deterrence, and awareness. This initiative lays down a framework outlining the current issues (e.g., their roots and their evolution), the RCMP’s response to these issues, and its expectations based on performance measures already in place, affording a yardstick as to the success of the initiative.

The RCMP also assisted in international training initiatives through its partnership with Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (CICAD) and offered two workshops in 2010-11. One training workshop encompassed general drug enforcement investigative techniques and was delivered in Mexico and the Dominican Republic. The other workshop was on synthetic drugs and chemical diversion and was delivered in El Salvador. This training focused on the safe handling and dismantling of clandestine drug laboratories. By conducting such capacity-building workshops in the Americas, the RCMP is effectively empowering foreign law enforcement officials to create opportunities to interdict illicit drugs and synthetic drug precursors destined for Canada.

Link 5:

There were 512 MGO seizures and 59 clandestine laboratory seizures made by the NADS teams in 2010-11. Regarding the MGOs, this resulted in the seizure of 274,798 plants and 304 kg of marihuana bud. For the clandestine lab operations, over 113 kg of methamphetamine and 73.9 kg of MDMA, along with 110,000 tablets of methamphetamine, 182 kg of Red Phosphorous and 43.5 liters of GHB/GBL mix, were seized by the NADS teams as part of their disruptions. Of the 59 clandestine labs dismantled in Canada, 28 were unique to the RCMP-funded teams.

Link 6:

Intelligence gathering about how organized crime groups operate, their sources for production material, their capacity to produce, and their networks (especially those that access international sources outside regulations) dramatically increased the RCMP’s ability to effectively mobilize resources and attain results. For example, the RCMP created an engagement strategy with Chinese authorities through the auspices of Project Steadfast that will afford an enhanced ability to exchange intelligence and information, thereby strengthening joint Chinese-Canadian operations. This relationship and intelligence-sharing opportunity will pay significant dividends in interdicting synthetic drug precursors and laboratory equipment destined for Canada. Negotiations towards a similar strategy are beginning with India, with a more concrete framework anticipated for Fall 2011.

Canada’s participation in the G8 Law Enforcement Projects Sub Group (Project MOLE) on the monitoring of laboratory equipment also assisted in the global prevention of these materials reaching organized crime groups producing synthetic drugs. The RCMP also participated in Project Synergy, a Europol-led project developing intelligence on precursors and laboratory equipment.

Results Achieved in 2010–11:

Link 1:

The Intelligence Development and Field Support Division assisted in the development of training for frontline officers in the identification, targeting, and safe sampling of precursor chemicals. It was felt that this has resulted in more effective targeting and an increase in the rates of examination, resulting in higher interdiction rates and subsequently more data for analysis and intelligence development.

Link 2:

The Laboratory and Scientific Services Directorate (LSSD) used the mobile laboratory in five operations, three of which dealt specifically with drug precursors. During these operations, more than 500 samples were analyzed with a number of resulting seizures, controlled deliveries, and two arrests. The Science and Engineering (S&E) Directorate analyzed over 3,200 samples of suspected contraband in which GBL, anthranilic acid, 1-[(2-chlorophenyl)-N-(methylamino)methyl] cyclopentanol (ketamine precursor), and 1-phenyl-2-nitropropene (pre-precursor to methamphetamine) were present, among others.

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) saw significant amounts of synthetic cannabinoids such as JWH-018, JWH-250, CP47, 497, etc. These continued to be stopped by frontline border services officers and analyzed by the S&E Lab. Piperazines, phenethylamines and other non-controlled substances were also stopped.

In 2010-11, pilot tests occurred in two regions related to sampling tools as a means to see how they worked operationally. Ongoing discussions continue with the program areas regarding the usability of these tools.

Link 3:

The creation of a formalized Intelligence Network provided Intelligence Officers a level of comfort in knowing exactly who to contact when they need to acquire or share information regarding precursor chemicals. The constant flow of communication within CBSA and between partners assisted in the identification of entities involved in the illicit trade and helped provide a national and international snapshot of which organized crime groups operate in which region and in what chemicals.

Link 4:

The NADS has contributed to a stronger relationship between the CBSA, RCMP and international customs organizations by facilitating a flow of communication through Project Catalyst, the Precursor Chemical Workshop, and the formal Precursor Chemical Intelligence Network. These activities contributed to improved intelligence development for all parties, resulting in better identification of entities involved in the criminal importation and export of precursor chemicals and synthetic drugs, leading to higher rates of interdiction, arrests, prosecutions, and the eventual disruption of organized operations.

Link 5:

Same as Link 2 results.

Link 6:

The creation of a formal Precursor Chemical Intelligence Network throughout the CBSA, which includes the identification of domestic and international partners. Stronger partnerships with other law enforcement and other agency partners, both internationally and domestically, through the three-day Precursor Chemical Workshop that included all domestic and many international participants.

Link 7:

A CBSA Headquarters Intelligence-led joint project with the RCMP has been developed over the past year in support of the CBSA Precursor Chemical Diversion Project and the RCMP Synthetic Drug Initiative, both very important but complementary initiatives under the NADS. This national project combined the efforts of CBSA and RCMP intelligence and enforcement sections in identifying, targeting, interdicting, and disrupting criminal organizations involved in the importation of precursor chemicals being used in the manufacture of illicit synthetic drugs meant for both the domestic and international marketplace. One of the purposes of the joint project was to conduct a proof of concept to determine the effectiveness of new CBSA targeting initiatives to identify a new modus operandi used primarily in the commercial stream, in order to intercept and seize illicit goods being imported using this method and to identify the persons and groups involved.

• Enhanced compliance in high-risk reporting entity sectors.

Results Achieved in 2010–11:

Link 1:

In 2010-11, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) disclosed a total of 769 cases to law enforcement, including 199 unique cases that related to at least one drug-related offence, a modest increase from the 190 unique drug-related disclosures made in 2009-10. A breakdown between distribution and production of various types of drugs is provided in the following table (please note that the total does not equal 199 as one case can be related to multiple drug offenses):

Drug-Related Disclosures	Number of Cases
Distribution - Cocaine	55
Distribution - Hashish (Cannabis Resin)	2
Distribution - Heroin	5
Distribution - Marihuana	30
Distribution - MDMA (Ecstasy)	9
Distribution - Methamphetamine	5
Distribution - Synthetic Drugs	3
Distribution - Khat	1
Distribution - Unspecified	93
Production - Cocaine	2
Production - Hashish (Cannabis Resin)	1
Production - Heroin	1
Production - Marihuana	41
Production - MDMA (Ecstasy)	3
Production - Methamphetamine	4
Production - Synthetic Drugs	3
Production - Opium	1
Production - Unspecified	5

It is important to note that the predicate offences (drug-related) were determined through a manual review of FINTRAC disclosures and that some cases were not identified as drug-related where there was insufficient context provided by investigators or reports to enable the determination of the predicate offence.

FINTRAC’s Financial Analysis and Disclosures Directorate (FADD) is organized into work units that focus on specific regions of the country. This allows FINTRAC to enhance support to law enforcement by improving cooperation, building stronger relationships, and more easily discussing our partners’ priorities. Having a solid understanding of the operational and investigative priorities of our partners allows FADD analysts to focus on cases of the greatest importance to law enforcement, including cases that should have the largest impact. NADS funding is utilized to enhance that support and relationship building with law enforcement, as well as to continue focusing resources on case analysis pertaining to the drug-related priorities of our partners. This approach, and the NADS funding received to date, has been effective as evidenced by the fact that over 25% of FINTRAC case disclosures made in 2010-11 relate to suspicions of money laundering or terrorist financing where the predicate offence is believed to be drug distribution or production.

Total Allocation For All Federal Partners (from Start to End Date)	Total Planned Spending for All Federal Partners for 2010-11	Total Actual Spending for All Federal Partners for 2010-11
588.9	136.0	115.6

Comments on Variances:

Health Canada

Substance Use and Abuse: The $13.4M variance between the planned spending of $30.7M and actual spending of $17.3M is due to two items. Health Canada is exploring options to retain $10.9M to achieve the desired program objectives over the next two fiscal years. Also, $2.5M was reallocated to the National Native Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program and the Drug Strategy Community Initiatives Fund (See Links 2 and 4).

First Nations and Inuit Health Mental Health Addictions: Expenditures increased by $2.2M as a result of Regions and Programs Branch's lapsing of NADS funding from DTFP (see Link 3). FNIHB was able to offset a portion of the lapse by using the funds in support of major repairs and maintenance of NNADAP treatment centres.

Department of Public Safety Canada

The planned spending estimate for 2010-11, as reported in the Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP), was based on approved NADS projects. Subsequently, during the fiscal year, additional projects were developed and approved resulting in a higher actual spending than anticipated ($5.5M).
