Name of Horizontal Initiative: Security and Public Safety for the 2010 G8 and G20 Summits

Name of Lead Department: Royal Mounted Canadian Police (RCMP)

Lead Department Program Activity: Protective Policing Services ¹

Start Date: 2008-09

End Date: 2010-11

Total Departmental Funding Allocation (from start date to end date): $507.4M

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is the sole agency with federal policing jurisdiction and has the primary responsibility to ensure the security for any intergovernmental conferences held in Canada.

The RCMP led a multi-organizational, integrated security group known as the 2010 G8-G20 Summits Integrated Security Unit (ISU). The ISU had overall responsibility for coordinating and providing security for both the 2010 Muskoka G8 and the Toronto G20 Summits. A phased approach was used to successfully plan and secure this major event: design, planning and operational readiness activities; Summit operations; and demobilization/debrief.

The overall goal of the ISU was to provide "safe and secure Summits" to the attending Canadian public and visiting Heads of States. This was achieved through an integrated security model and in close collaboration with partners.

Expenditures incurred over three fiscal years for planning and securing the 2010 Muskoka G8 and Toronto G20 Summits totaled approximately $304.3M.

Shared Outcome: Safe and secure Summits

Governance Structure(s):

A Performance Measurement and Evaluation Strategy (PMES) for the 2010 Muskoka G8 and Toronto G20 Summits horizontal initiative was completed as required by Treasury Board Secretariat. The PMES formalized the federal commitment of the RCMP and its federal partners to be accountable for the implementation of this initiative.

The 2010 G8-G20 ISU was comprised of members from the RCMP, the Canadian Forces (CF), the Ontario Provincial Police, the Toronto Police Service and the Peel Regional Police Service. The Division Operations Commander, an RCMP Chief Superintendent, reported to the O Division Commanding Officer, who in turn reported to the Deputy Commissioner of Federal Policing and Central Region, who reported directly to the Commissioner of the RCMP and who, in turn, reported directly to the Minister of Public Safety Canada.

A Federal Security Coordinator (FSC) at the Superintendent level was appointed by the Assistant Commissioner of Protective Policing of the RCMP to assist in guiding the federal aspects of the security planning and operational phases and to act as a liaison to the 2010 G8-G20 ISU and Protective Policing.

The Privy Council Office established the Office of the Coordinator for the G8 and G20 Security to assist in inter-departmental coordination at the strategic level. The Coordinator chaired a horizontal Deputy Ministers Working Group to discuss and make decisions on horizontal issues. The Coordinator reported to the National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister, who in turn reported directly to the Prime Minister.

The participating departments worked with the RCMP while maintaining their own reporting structures to their respective Ministers.

Performance Highlights:

The Mission Aim “Ensure the Safety and Security of the General Public and Heads of State Attending the G8 and G20 Summits in Canada” of the 2010 G8-G20 Summits Integrated Security Unit (ISU) was achieved.

Utilizing the Treasury Board Risk Management Framework and the RCMP Integrated Risk Management as guidance, the ISU created an Integrated Risk Management Plan and Risk Registry that assisted in identifying risks and mitigation strategies, which in turn led to the success of the G8 and G20 Summits. Significant risks – such as mobilizing RCMP and municipal police agency personnel, accrediting private security and providing bus availability for security personnel – were averted as a result.

Comments on Variances:

The Summits ended with a significant surplus of $205 million (including Employee Benefits and Pension (EBP)). This was due to several factors. The RCMP held a government-wide contingency for the two Summits of $60 million. The Operational Plans used for the budgetary process indicated that we required at peak deployment 7,041 personnel. The actual deployment was 5,575 individuals from within the RCMP and 653 from Other Police Departments (OPDs). Deployed resources provided the bulk of the cost drivers for pay, overtime, meals, accommodation, equipment and transportation. Hotel costs anticipated in Toronto were reduced by the competitive process by approximately $26 million. The cost of radios were also reduced through the competitive process by over $20 million.

Results Achieved by Non-Federal Partners (if applicable): N/A
