Other Information:

It is the Department’s practice to waive fees where (a) the total costs assessed are less than $25; and (b) the legislative time limits have been exceeded by more than 6 months. In 2010-2011, fees were waived in 54% of the ATI requests in progress, amounting to $8,875 waived.

In an effort to reduce the amount of paper copies and in order to reduce the amount of fees to be paid, applicants can request that the information be provided to them in electronic format, on diskette, CD or via email. In 2010-2011, 28% of responses to ATI requests were provided in electronic format; an increase of 11% compared to the previous fiscal year.

The difference between the forecast revenue and the actual revenue is due to a 22% increase in the number of requests received by the Department in 2010-2011 compared to the previous fiscal year.

A reduction in the revenue is forecasted as of 2011-2012 as the Department now provides the records in electronic format when the photocopying fees assessed are over $25.

  1. 100% achieved

  2. 100% achieved. Annual inspection and maintenance completed

Last consultation on User Fees was completed in 1989. Since then, no increases / decreases to user fees have occurred as the Selkirk Marine Railway Dry Dock has been declared non-core to PWGSC’s mandate and identified as surplus to PWGSC’s needs.

Stakeholder consultations were carried out when the fees were established in 1989. Since no service standard was set as part of these consultations, two temporary service standards were established. Clients seeking to utilize this facility are consulted on these service standards.

Also, as an Offer to Purchase has been made on this facility, clients seeking to utilise this facility in 2011 are advised that this facility may not be available to them and that an agreement with the new owner may be required.

Subscription rates are charged for the printing and distribution of the Canada Gazette.

Delivery of the Canada Gazette to subscribers:

  1. Clients are entitled to receive issues in good condition. Should any of their copies arrive damaged, they may call the Government of Canada Publications toll-free line at 1-800-635-7943 and a replacement copy will be sent to them free of charge.

  2. Clients are entitled to receive their issues by mail within a reasonable timeframe. Although delivery times cannot be guaranteed, every effort is made to provide issues according to the following standards:

    • within Canada: 2-8 business days

    • within the U.S.: 4-10 business days

    • international: 6-10 business days

If subscribers experience a delay in receiving their issues, they may call the Government of Canada Publications toll-free line at 1-800-635-7943 and a representative will address the situation and take the necessary measures to resolve it satisfactorily.

If the Government of Canada Publications toll free line is unable to satisfactorily resolve any issues experienced by subscribers, the issue will be referred to the Canada Gazette Directorate (CGD) who will investigate the situation and take appropriate measures to find a solution.

100%: CGD’s service standards were met. Any issues relating to the delivery of the Canada Gazette (i.e. quality of the issues and delivery timelines) were satisfactorily resolved by calls made to the Government of Canada Publications toll-free line. There was no intervention from the CGD to resolve issues.

Stakeholder consultations on subscription rates last took place prior to 1985. Subsequent to these consultations, the subscription rates were increased in 1985.

In March 2011, consultations with subscribers took place by way of a client satisfaction study in which a mail-out survey was sent to the 481 Canadian subscribers. One hundred and nineteen subscribers (25%) chose to complete the survey.

The questions focused on the CGD’s subscription service standards. Specifically, the respondents were asked about any issues they had experienced when paying for and renewing their subscription, as well as any issues they had experienced with regard to the delivery of their subscription. Among the results obtained:

  • 83% had not encountered any difficulty with paying for their subscription;

  • 80% had not experienced any difficulty when renewing their subscription;

  • 58% indicated that they “always” received their copies in a timely fashion, while 38% indicated that they received their copies in a timely fashion “most of the time”;

  • 76% indicated that they “always” received their copies in good condition and the remaining 24% indicated that they received their copies in good condition “most of the time”;

  • 83% of respondents have never attempted to contact someone regarding a problem with the delivery of the Canada Gazette; and

  • Out of the few respondents who had contacted someone regarding a delivery problem, 89% said that their problem had been resolved satisfactorily.


Other Information:

The Esquimalt Graving Dock performance standard is published on the web site where users make facility bookings. (http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/pac/cse-egd/rendement-performance-eng.html)

Should the Selkirk Railway Dry Dock be sold, the Selkirk Marine Railway Dry Dock Regulations will be repealed. Should the sale of this facility not complete, more formal consultation with stakeholders will be held on service standards.

Long-Term Vision and Plan for the Parliamentary Precinct

Description

In 2007, PWGSC updated the Long Term Vision and Plan (LTVP) for the Parliamentary Precinct. This update was undertaken in conjunction with the Parliamentary Partners (the Senate, the House of Commons, and the Library of Parliament), and 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. It confirmed the Vision and Guiding Principles for the Precinct and the extensive set of Planning and Design Principles created to guide future development. The Vision of the LTVP is to ensure that changes to Parliamentary Precinct occur in a way that balances the evolving functional needs of parliamentarians and other users with the overriding commitment to preserve the historic, environmental and symbolic primacy of the site. A major component of the LTVP Update was the creation of a new Implementation Framework designed to improve results and enhance accountability. This Framework establishes shorter term objectives in the context of the longer term vision and provides a strategy for getting projects underway and completed in an efficient and timely manner.

The Implementation Strategy for the LTVP is composed of a broad Strategic Direction and a series of rolling Five-Year Programs. The Strategic Direction establishes the renovation of the core historic parliamentary buildings — the triad of the West Block, Centre Block and East Block — as the first priority. Since Centre Block cannot be renovated while occupied, the East and West Blocks will be renovated first. This will be done not only to accommodate the interim uses from Centre Block, but also to address the pressing restoration work that is required on these two buildings. This work initiates a series of projects to create interim accommodation for those functions displaced from the East and West Blocks and, in a cascading fashion, triggers further projects required to house those displaced from buildings renovated for interim Parliamentary uses.

The rolling Five-Year Programs establish short term cycles for the approval of specific projects to implement the Strategic Direction. These shorter cycles provide greater flexibility in responding to government and parliamentary priorities, building conditions and current market conditions, and allow for better accuracy in determining functional requirements and establishing project costs and scheduling. Each Five-Year Program is composed of three components:

The Major Capital Program, which includes primary projects necessary to advance the overall objective of restoring the key heritage buildings;

The Recapitalization Program, which 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 will be 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; and

The Planning Program, which includes the development of more refined plans and reliable cost estimates for projects in the next five-year program.

Project Phase

Accordingly, the current five-year program includes projects for each of the three components. The core focus of the Major Capital Program is the stabilization and renovation of the West Block. Other projects will provide appropriate interim space to sustain the operations of Parliament while the West Block is being renovated, and will create interim and permanent facilities that meet the operational needs of Parliament and allow future phases of the LTVP to proceed in a cost-efficient manner. A number of projects have been completed, including renovations at 1 Wellington and the La Promenade Buildings to provide Committee Rooms and Parliamentary office space and the relocation of fourteen House of Commons operational units from the Wellington Building. These completed renovations and relocations allowed for the emptying of the West Block and 180 Wellington Buildings and the start of their major rehabilitation. Bank of Montreal) is also underway.

The Recapitalization Program focuses on the physical state of the buildings in the Parliamentary Precinct, and includes a series of projects for East Block, Centre Block and Confederation Building. These projects will ensure that the key buildings are consistently restored, as required; addressing problems that cannot wait until the major renovation projects can begin. The primary focus of these projects will be the long term restoration of discrete components of the buildings to extend their life.

The Planning Program develops strategies to ensure that all LTVP projects and objectives are executed in a coordinated and timely manner. Planning studies are currently being developed for Centre Block, to ensure that the major rehabilitation of the building can proceed without delay. In addition to planning studies, the Planning Program includes a number of master planning initiatives, such as the West Sector Area Master Plan, the Underground Infrastructure Master Plan, Material Handling and Transportation Master Plan, the Parliament Hill Master Landscape Plan Update, and Blocks 1, 2 and 3 Sector Area Master Plan. Once completed, these documents will be used to coordinate the preparation of more detailed plans and will provide a road map for efficient, coordinated, integrated development through the foreseeable future while preserving the flexibility necessary to respond to changing conditions.

Funding for individual projects within this five-year program will follow the normal approval process for government expenditures and will be approved by Treasury Board on a project-by-project basis.

Parliamentary Precinct Project - Wellington Building

Description

The Wellington Building is located at 180 Wellington Street, across from Parliament Hill. It is a six-storey structure first built in 1925 and later enlarged in the 1950's by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The House of Commons has been the major tenant since the Crown expropriated the building in 1973. Renovations of the building are required to address health and safety issues, replace obsolete building systems and meet building code requirements. The building has been completely vacated during the renovations. The Wellington Building is part of the Long Term Vision and Plan and will be used for Parliamentary accommodations.

Project Phase

This project is currently in project implementation. The work will be completed in two phases to expedite project delivery. Phase 1, which is currently being implemented, includes interior demolition, asbestos abatement and seismic reinforcement work. Phase 2, which will begin in fiscal year 2011/2012, will include the restoration of the exterior envelope undertaken as advanced work, followed by base building construction and fit-up the interior space. The entire renovation is targeted to be completed in late 2015, and subject to final funding approval.

Industrial Benefits

Several multi-million dollar contracts will be awarded over the seven-year period for building construction, information technology systems, multimedia systems, furniture and other equipment. An estimated 1,500 private sector jobs will be generated by this project.

Parliamentary Precinct Project - West Block

Description

The West Block, located within the Parliamentary Precinct, is the oldest of the parliamentary buildings located on the "Hill". It is a three-storey building that 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.

Project Phase

This project is currently in project implementation. Renovations of the building are required to address health and safety and asset integrity conditions. In order to implement the renovations, the building has been completely vacated, thus requiring the provision of alternate accommodations for the MPs, parliamentary functions such as committee rooms and support services. Consequently, the program of work is being undertaken in two phases.

Phase 1
  1. Emergency stabilization and rehabilitation of towers – complete;

  2. Repairs and conservation of the exterior masonry – construction start in 2011;

  3. Fit-up of alternate accommodations in the La Promenade building and other locations for MPs, committee rooms and support services – complete; and

  4. The permanent relocation of the food production facility for Parliament Hill to a remote site – complete.

Phase 2
  1. Fit-up of space for the relocation of Confederation Room 200 to the former Bank of Montreal building – construction start 2011;

  2. Asbestos abatement, interior demolition, of the West Block building – underway;

  3. General rehabilitation of the West Block building – construction start 2011; and

  4. Associated infrastructure to support legislative functions during the renovation of the Centre Block, including a courtyard infill to accommodate Chamber activities, and provision of a security screening and material handling facility – construction start 2011*.

*Requires additional funding for completion

Project Outcomes


  Project objectives (expected results) Performance indicators Project outcomes (performance summary)
Long Term Vision and Plan for the Parliamentary Precinct Parliamentarians have safe, modern facilities that support their work and Parliament Hill is restored as the cultural centre of Canada's federal government, to the benefit of all Canadians Under the LTVP First Five-year Program, 2007-2012, 90% of projects are to be delivered on-time, on-budget and on-scope Status:  Of the projects completed in 2009-2010, all were on-time, on-budget and on-scope

Progress Report and Explanations of Variances

The West Block Program of work consists of sub-projects involving emergency stabilization of towers and masonry, several interim space projects, major rehabilitation of the building and construction of a courtyard infill.

Stabilization

The work coming to completion is required in order to ensure the most at risk areas of the building envelope are stabilized. The masonry pilot project on the South East Tower of the West Block was completed in 2009. Construction work on the North Towers of the West Block is continuing with masonry and copper roof repairs and will be completed at the end of Summer 2011. The Masonry Wall Investigation and Research Project - conducted with the Intelligent Sensing for Innovative Structures (ISIS) Canada and three Canadian universities – is also complete. The objective was to gain and share leading edge knowledge on seismic reinforcing methodologies for heritage masonry walls. PWGSC constructed masonry wall sections, similar to those used in our Parliament buildings, in the University of Calgary seismic laboratories, in order to simulate seismic events and assess the reaction of various reinforcement methodologies.

Relocation Projects

La Promenade swing space - scope of the project consists of restoring the building and fitting up 62 MP suites and 3 committee rooms for Parliamentarians. This project was completed, under budget, in December 2010.

1 Wellington (the former Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography) - completed on-time and on-budget in 2010/2011. The facility at 1 Wellington currently provides four committee rooms to the House of Commons. The building was handed over to the House of Commons prior to the start of the Fall Parliamentary session.

144 Wellington (former Bank of Montreal Building) – has been identified as the permanent alternate location for West Block's Confederation Room 200 functions. The concept design has been approved, and the contracts for the start of the rehabilitation work are nearing tender stage. Construction will start in early 2012 and completion is scheduled for 2014.

Food Production Facility - was permanently relocated off-site. Completed ahead of schedule and under budget in Fall 2009.

Rehabilitation Project

In January of 2011, Parliamentarians and their staff were relocated to the newly renovated La Promenade building, leaving the West Block empty so that work could begin. The West Block site has been prepared for construction activity, which has begun with demolition and asbestos abatement. The rehabilitation of the building is expected to be completed in 2018.

Current Treasury Board Preliminary Project Approval is $1,171.3 million (current dollars excluding GST/HST).

Industrial Benefits

Several multi-million dollar contracts will be awarded over a ten-year period for building construction, information technology systems, multimedia systems, furniture and other equipment. An estimated 3,500 private sector jobs will be generated by this program of work.

Government of Canada Pension Modernization Project (GCPMP)

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 to industry standard. This will allow PWGSC to ensure the sustainability of the pension administration function. It will also allow PWGSC to cope with the increasing business volume. 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.

PWGSC's approximately 40-year-old systems and business-process infrastructure for pension administration were in grave need of renewal. The limited capabilities of existing processes and the archaic technology of the legacy systems are severely compromising PWGSC's ability to sustain current service levels. As well, they are severely limiting PWGSC's ability to offer future services that are comparable to the delivery performance and cost-effectiveness industry standards. Although the project is focused on the Public Service Superannuation Act administration, the project is implementing a multi-plan solution that will provide for other pension plans within the public service.

Since July 2007 the project has been completing its Implementation Phase, which is expected to take five years. The project is replacing the current pension systems and business processes with commercial-off-the-shelf software applications and industry-standard business processes. Implementation is proceeding according to the following phased approach, which introduces new systems and functionality over five releases aligned with the centralization of pension services delivery from departments to PWGSC:

New system / functionality and centralized service Target completion date
Release 1.0 - Implementation of Siebel Case Management software and a new Interactive Voice Response System / Centralization of Service Purchase services Completed in February 2009
Release 1.5 - Implementation of enhanced case management applications, including document imaging capabilities / Centralization of Plan Enrolment and Orientation services Completed in January 2010
Release 2.0 - Implementation of software functionality related to the administration of Contributor accounts and Pension Benefits Division Act/ Centralization of services related to Pension Benefit and Survivor Pension Entitlements and Employer Support April 2011
Release 2.5 - Implementation of software functionality related to the administration of Service Buyback and Leave Without Pay / Centralization of Leave Without Pay services November 2011
Release 3.0 - Implementation of software functionality related to the administration of Annuitant accounts and accounting September 2012

Project Phase

The two Transformation of Pension Administration projects, the GCPMP and the Centralization of Pension Services Delivery Project (CoPSDP) are currently in their Implementation Phases and are within 18 months of completion. Implementation activities began in July 2007 and are expected to be completed in September 2012.

  3. Measurable Results – Ensure the provision of accurate, consistent and timely processing of all transactions and payments.

  4. Streamlined Business Processes – Re-engineer and streamline business processes to improve effectiveness and provide a seamless information flow.

  5. Client Focus – Provide clients with value-added, best-practice services and reporting that offer flexible access and up-to-date information by leveraging the new system’s capabilities to adopt modern service delivery methods and provide industry standard pension administration services to all pension plan members, pensioners and employers.

Progress Report and Explanations of Variances

Effective Project Approval was obtained in June 2007. After almost four years of implementation activities, the project is within budget and implementation is expected to be completed in fiscal year 2012-2013, within eight months of its planned completion.

  • Release 1.0 - Client Services: In February 2009, the project completed its first technology release, as well as the centralization of service purchase. The new Siebel Case Management applications, the Genesys software for the Interactive Voice Response system, and the centralized service are now in full operation in the Government's Public Service Pension Centre, located in Shediac, New Brunswick.

  • Release 1.5 - In January 2010, the project completed its second technology release, as well as the centralization of plan enrolment and orientation services. Pension administration made an important step towards paperless case processing with the implementation of Document Imaging capabilities in the Cheque Redemption and Control Directorate in Matane, Quebec. Scanned images of mail, fax and email case documents and forms are now immediately available to the Pension Centre staff in Shediac. In addition, this release enhanced Case Management functionality in the Pension Centre and expanded the use of the new tools to approximately 600 users.

  • Release 2.0 - Systems and processes to administer active member accounts (including the calculation of estimates) and Pension Benefits Division: Activities for this release began in January 2008, as planned. Design, development and Vendor testing activities for this release have been completed. Client acceptance testing is approximately 85% completed. This release has incurred an overall delay of ~14 months as a result of the carry over of delays with previous releases, increased technical complexity and limited contractor resource capacity, as well as delays in receiving a stable solution from the vendor. Significant progress has been made and the project expects to implement the new solution in April 2011. This delay has resulted in an eight-month delay to the project’s completion date.

  • Release 2.5 - Systems and processes related to Service Buyback and Leave Without Pay. The implementation of Release 2.5 functionality began in September 2009 and design activities were completed in January 2011. Development activities are approximately~ 70% completed. This release has incurred an overall nine month delay due to increased complexity, change requests and the impacts of the Release 2.0 delay. Completion is now expected in November 2011.

  • Release 3.0 - Systems and processes to administer retired member accounts and to perform accounting functions: Implementation activities for this final release began in April 2010 and design activities are ~50% completed. Due to the impacts of the Release 2.0 delay, completion date for Release 3.0 is being planned for September 2012, resulting in an overall eight-month delay to the project.

  • Final project closeout activities will be done in parallel to Release 3.0 and are being planned for September 2012.

Industrial Benefits

A multi-million dollar contract has been awarded for the commercial off-the-shelf software products, as well as for the implementation of the new systems and business processes, support services and ongoing maintenance. The products 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, HP Entreprise Services (formerly EDS Canada), to whom the contract was awarded. The implementation is being conducted in several phases over a period of approximately four and a half years (July 2007 to March 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 size and responsibilities of the Pension Centre in Shediac, New Brunswick will be more stable as a result of centralization and the modernization of the systems and services.

Transformation of Pay Administration (TPA) Initiative

Description

PWGSC’s Transformation of Pay Administration Initiative was launched in October 2009, after receiving Treasury Board Minister’s approval for the Pay Modernization and Consolidation of Pay Services Projects. These projects will replace the 40-year-old pay system and gradually consolidate pay administration services from departments to PWGSC’s new Centre of Expertise in Miramichi, New Brunswick. The transformation will ensure the long-term sustainability of the Government of Canada pay administration system and services as well as contribute to a more effective and efficient public service, offering better value to Canadians.

The goal of the Pay Modernization Project is to replace the 40-year-old Regional Pay System (RPS) with a modern, commercial, off-the-shelf pay system. Once implemented, the modernized system will establish a platform for more efficient compensation processes. This project will provide a new pay system that will benefit all departments. It will offer extensive Web capabilities for managers and employees of departments using the GC Human Resource Management System such as requesting and approving overtime payments directly through the Web.

The goal of the Consolidation of Pay Services Project is to gradually transfer pay administration services to a Centre of Expertise located in Miramichi, New Brunswick starting in 2011-2012 with those departments using the endorsed Government of Canada Human Resources Management System (PeopleSoft). The consolidation of pay services will contribute to providing more consistent service delivery and continued sustainability of pay services while addressing the high attrition and turnover rates in the compensation community.

Project Phase

The Pay Modernization Project began its Project Definition Phase in October 2009. The Project Definition Phase will take approximately two and a half years.

The Consolidation of Pay Services Project also began its Project Definition Phase in October 2009 which is planned for completion in April 2011. The Implementation Phase of the Project will take approximately five years.

Progress Report and Explanations of Variances

On July 30, 2009, the Treasury Board approved the “Initiative to Fix the Pay System” (Transformation of Pay Administration) which included the Pay Modernization Project with an estimated cost of $192,067,332 (including GST) and the Consolidation of Pay Services Project with an estimated cost of $106,132,817 (including GST).

Pay Modernization Project Definition Phase (in progress)

A Request for Proposal (RFP) to procure a firm to provide Project Management Services was issued, and a contract was awarded to ADGA Group in February 2010.

As a first step in procuring the services of both a Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) pay solution as well as a System Integrator, a Request for Information (RFI) was developed and posted to industry. The goal of the RFI was to gather information from industry to assist in the preparation of the System Integrator RFP. The information gathered through RFI consultative process was assessed and, where applicable, amendments were made to the draft RFP.

The RFP was published June 09, 2010. The RFP closed on October 13, 2010 after an additional extension of 7 weeks at the request of industry. The contract award for the System Integrator is planned for completion by the end of June 2011. The Treasury Board approved funding for the Pay Modernization Project definition phase in the amount of $36,587,929 million (with GST). The project is currently running under budget due to the extension in the RFP closing date which resulted in delays in dependent activities as well as the fact that the use of contingency funding was not required.

Analysis will be completed in 2011-12 to evaluate the proposed new pay solution against the Government of Canada pay requirements. The definition phase for the modernized pay system and processes, originally planned for completion in April 2012, is now expected to be completed by June 2012.

Consolidation of Pay Services Project Definition Phase (in progress)

PWGSC will gradually transfer pay administration services to a Centre of Expertise within PWGSC for departments using the Government of Canada Human Resources Management System (PeopleSoft) over a five year period starting in 2011-2012. By March 2012, the new Centre of Expertise will start its operations.

In preparation, work has been done to compile and analyze up-to-date workforce data on the Compensation community provided by the Heads of Human Resources from departments and agencies. Based on the workforce data provided, the project team has been working with client departments and agencies to develop a transition plan and adopt a government-wide approach to manage compensation staff during the transition. . Staffing processes have been initiated to fill positions in the Centre of Expertise. In addition to this, a far reaching and inclusive governance framework and a robust communications strategy have been developed. Furthermore, a joint union management consultation committee has been established in collaboration with departments, central agencies and the Public Service Alliance of Canada.

A Service Delivery Model and Concept of Operations have been developed for the Centre of Expertise. The project team has also developed Information Technology and network infrastructure plans and estimates. A Request for Information to identify office space for the initial opening of the Centre of Expertise in Miramichi, New Brunswick has been completed.

The Effective Project Approval submission is planned to be tabled in June 2011.

Industrial Benefits

A multi-million dollar contract will be awarded in 2011-12 for the COTS pay solution and a System Integrator. During the course of the project, it is expected that there will be some temporary positions required to support the solution implementation and business transformation activities.

The Consolidation of Pay Services Project will create 550 new public service jobs in Miramichi, New Brunswick, contributing to improve the local economy.

Expected Results for 2010-2011:

  • Expert and technical advice; and

  • PWGSC’s project team, as federal lead, ensures the project is complying with the project agreements, the efficient and effective use of public funds, application of federal standards and policies, and effective communication with stakeholders, using appropriate oversight and due diligence.

Results Achieved in 2010-2011:

The Project remains on track to meet the approved budget and the Project is moving ahead pursuant to the MOA.

Comments on Variances:

The PWGSC variance after the February 2011 reprofiling was minor, less than 1% of the budget. The minor variance of $44K in planned and actual expenditures arose due to consultants’ fees being less than planned. The HC and EC variance resulted from their advisory responsibilities consuming fewer resources than initially forecast.

Results Achieved by Non-federal Partners:

The Sydney Tar Ponds Agency, who is implementing the day to day technical aspects of the Project elements in accordance with the agreements signed by the government partners, carried out remediation work for cost shared expenditures in the amount of $67.3M ($40.4M federal cost share).

Green Procurement

Green Procurement Capacity Building

Part A: Green Procurement Capacity Building

Performance Measures For Part A:

1a. Number of procurement and materiel management staff with formal green procurement training (e.g., C215 or in-house tailored alternative) relative to total number of procurement and materiel management staff.

1b. Number of acquisition cardholders with formal green procurement training (e.g., C215 or in-house tailored alternative) relative to total number of acquisition cardholders.

2. Number of performance evaluations of managers and functional heads of procurement and materiel management that incorporate environmental considerations relative to total number of performance evaluations of managers and functional heads of procurement and materiel management.

3. Number of departmental procurement processes and controls that incorporate environmental considerations relative to total number of departmental procurement processes and controls that should address environmental considerations. Alternatively, departments and agencies can report on progress to improve the integration of environmental considerations in management processes and controls relative to procurement.


Activity Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP) Actual Results as % Description/Comments
Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff

90% of Materiel Managers and Procurement Personnel

87% of Materiel Managers and Procurement Personnel department-wide

100% of designated Corporate Services, Strategic Policy Branch and Regional Corporate Services, Strategic Management and Communications staff which conduct procurement activities for PWGSC received green procurement training (43 trained / 43 designated)

Due to staff turnover and the shear volume of staff conducting procurement on behalf of other government departments, 85% of Acquisitions Branch procurement personnel received green procurement training (383 trained / 449 designated)

As a result, the departmental result fell slightly short of the 90% target (87%, or 426 trained / 492 designated).

Training for Acquisition Cardholders

90% of Acquisition Cardholders 

100%

Since all new Acquisition Cardholders must complete green procurement training in order to receive their acquisition card, the actual results for this activity (100%) exceeds the target of 90%). All previous cardholders who have not completed the training had their acquisition cards cancelled.

Performance Evaluations

All identified managers and functional heads will have environmental consideration clauses incorporated into their performance evaluations for the 2011 – 12 fiscal year.

100%

Department – wide 117 managers and functional heads who should have environmental considerations included in their performance evaluations for 2011-2012, have been identified.

A suite of sample clauses has been disseminated to all identified managers and functional heads for the 2011-12 fiscal year performance evaluations.

Monitoring will be accomplished through the performance management cycle already in place.

Procurement Processes and Controls

By March 31, 2011, all identified management processes and controls, relating to procurement, will have incorporated environmental considerations.

100%

Environmental considerations have been included in Contract Management Control Framework, Contract Management Guide and DP 99 Policy on Procurement, key policy instruments that govern management controls


Part B: Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments

Performance Measures For Part B:

Dollar value of purchases against green consolidated procurement instruments (as designated by PWGSC) for a specified good or service relative to total dollar value of purchases for that good or service.

Dollar value of purchases that incorporate environmental considerations for a good or service relative to total dollar value of purchases for that good or service (This performance measure applies when a green consolidated procurement instrument as designated by PWGSC was not used or was unavailable for the specified good or service).


Good/Service Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP) Actual Results as % Description/Comments

IT Hardware (includes: desktops, notebooks, servers, and thin clients)

100%

98%

There are operational requirements that occasionally require the purchase of IT hardware items (i.e. iPads for testing) that are not included in green consolidated procurement instruments.

Vehicles

100%

100%

Achieved 100% result. Light duty vehicle purchases incorporated environmental considerations (e.g., clean diesel engines, fuel consumption / km, etc.) However, operational requirements (e.g., towing capacity, off-road use, cargo capacity, etc) resulted in exceptions for non-light duty vehicles.


Part C: Reduction Initiatives for Specific Goods

Performance Measure For Part C:

Total quantity of a consumable purchased (e.g., paper) or an asset owned/leased (e.g., printing devices) relative to total number of full time employees (FTE).


Consumable/Asset Target as % Reduction or # per FTE Actual Results as % Reduction or # per FTE Description/Comments

Paper – Double-sided Printing by Default (on networked resources)

60% of printed pages on networked devices will be double-sided in the NCA.

Not available

Reporting of this commitment has been discontinued because PWGSC no longer tracks duplex printing data due to a systems change. However, PWGSC will be tracking paper reduction in accordance with target 8.8 of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy.

Printing Devices

By March 31, 2011, achieve a minimum average ratio of office employees to printing device of 4:1, where building occupancy levels and space configuration apply.

5.83:1

The target has been exceeded.

PWGSC has launched the Information Technology Asset Alignment Project (ITAAP) to promote the reduction of Printing devices and to track and monitor these efforts.

Spring 2010 Report
Chapter 1 – Aging Information Technology Systems
The objective of the audit was to determine whether selected entities had adequately identified and were managing the risks related to critical aging information technology (IT) systems. The audit covered the government entities with the largest IT expenditures — the Canada Revenue Agency, Public Works and Government Services Canada, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Citizenship and Immigration Canada expenditures — as well as the Treasury Board Secretariat’s Chief Information Officer Branch.
Recommendations

Five recommendations were directed at the various federal organizations. Public Works and Government Services Canada was involved in three recommendations.

1.49 Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, and Public Works and Government Services Canada should use a department-wide portfolio management approach to ensure that they focus on current and planned IT investments that best contribute to meeting their business objectives, with an acceptable degree of risk and at a reasonable cost.

1.50 Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, and Public Works and Government Services Canada should develop a multi-year IT investment plan that presents a balanced mix of mandatory, sustaining, and discretionary investments that they require to both sustain existing systems and to improve service delivery.

1.59 Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, Public Works and Government Services Canada, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police should develop an action plan for each significant aging IT risk. The plans should include specific strategies, key activities, deliverables, and timelines to manage these risks. These entities should report progress regularly to senior management.

Departmental Response Public Works and Government Services Canada agreed with the recommendations and has committed to implementing corrective action. For further information visit: http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/parl_oag_201004_01_e_33714.html

Chapter 4 – Managing Conflict of Interest
The objectives of the audit were to determine whether:

  • the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat provides the tools that departments need to meet federal government conflict of interest responsibilities, and
  • the five selected departments have ensured that mechanisms and assistance are in place and that designated senior officials have enough knowledge to meet their responsibilities on the issue of conflict of interest.
Recommendations

Six recommendations were directed at the various federal organizations Public Works and Government Services Canada was involved in three recommendations.

4.64 Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Canadian Heritage, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, Natural Resources Canada, and Public Works and Government Services Canada should develop an approach to risk assessment that includes identification and prioritization of risks, assessment and mitigation strategies, and residual risk assessment, in the key areas where major conflicts of interest could arise.

4.65 Once they have identified high-risk areas through an appropriate risk assessment process, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Canadian Heritage, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, Natural Resources Canada, and Public Works and Government Services Canada should require public servants in identified high-risk areas to report regularly, whether or not they have a conflict of interest.

4.72 Canadian Heritage, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, Natural Resources Canada, and Public Works and Government Services Canada should ensure that their training is based on the conflict of interest risks that staff in specific areas face as they carry out their duties; the training should include case studies and scenarios in these areas.

Departmental Response Public Works and Government Services Canada agreed with the audit recommendations and has committed to implementing corrective action. For further information, visit: http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/parl_oag_201010_04_e_34287.html

The overall objective of the audit was to determine whether National Defence and Public Works and Government Services Canada managed the acquisition of selected military helicopters in compliance with key provisions of government contracting and major capital project legislation, regulations, policies, and guidelines and to determine whether the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat performed its related challenge function.

Recommendations

Two of six recommendations were directed at Public Works and Government Services Canada.

6.65 Public Works and Government Services Canada should review and apply the lessons learned with these helicopter acquisitions to ensure that, for future major capital equipment acquisitions, the degree of modifications and/or development involved is fully reflected in approval documents and in the assessment of risk, and that procurement strategies and contracts are tailored to the complexity of the equipment being acquired.

6.76 Public Works and Government Services Canada should undertake a review of lessons learned in the use of long-term in-service support contracts before amending the contract in 2013 with Boeing, in order to ensure that risks are appropriately identified and managed, costs are properly determined, and alternative service delivery options are considered.

Departmental Response Public Works and Government Services Canada agreed with the audit recommendations and has committed to implementing corrective action. For further information, visit: http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/parl_oag_201010_06_e_34289.html
