Strategic Outcome

High quality, central programs and services that ensure sound stewardship on behalf of Canadians and meet the program needs of federal institutions.

Program Activity Descriptions

Accommodation and Real Property Assets Management

This program activity is about how Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) provides departments and agencies with office and common use accommodation and acts as stewards for various public works such as buildings, bridges and dams, and national treasures such as the Parliamentary Precinct and other heritage assets across Canada. PWGSC also provides other federal departments and agencies with expert professional and technical real property services.

Receiver General for Canada

This program activity manages the operations of the federal treasury and the preparation of the Accounts of Canada. It provides optional financial management system and document imaging and bill payment services.

Acquisitions

This program activity shows PWGSC as the government's primary procurement service provider offering federal organizations a broad base of procurement solutions such as specialized contracts, standing offers and supply arrangements. The role of PWGSC in this area is to provide timely value-added acquisitions and related common services to Canadians and the federal government.

Specialized Programs and Services

This program activity ensures high quality, timely and accessible specialized services and programs to federal institutions in support of sound, prudent and ethical management and operations.

Linguistic Management and Services

This program activity shows the Translation Bureau as the manager of the government's terminology and linguistic authority mandated with the development, standardization and distribution of Terminology. It also ensures that there is a sustainable, qualified and secure supply of linguistic resources available to support any linguistic requirements of the government and to support Canada's economic and social agenda. The Translation Bureau is the sole internal linguistic services provider offering federal organizations a broad base of linguistic solutions such as translation, interpretation and terminology. The program is mandated under the Translation Bureau Act .

Federal Pay and Pension Administration

This program activity administers the government's pay and pension processes.

Information Technology Infrastructure Services

This program activity provides leadership in supporting government-wide IT transformation initiatives. It works closely with client federal organizations to understand and respond to their IT requirements, while delivering secure IT services and solutions. It includes the brokering, developing and/or managing of products and services for distributed computing services, data centre services, telecommunications services and Information Technology Security Services.

Procurement Ombudsman

This program activity, operating at an arms length from the government, reviews procurement practices across federal departments and agencies, investigates complaints from potential suppliers with respect to awards of contracts for goods and services below certain thresholds, and complaints concerning the administration of contracts; and ensures the provision of an alternative dispute resolution program for contracts. This activity helps to promote fairness and transparency of the procurement process.
