Greening Government Operations

Annex A

2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities

Mandatory reporting on meeting the requirements of Section 7 of the PWGSC Policy on Green Procurement, as applicable to departments and agencies bound by the Policy on Green Procurement but not the Federal Sustainable Development Act

Targets / Strategies / Comments

• Approach: CNSC’s DG of Finance and Administration has been mandated to address all aspects of the PWGSC Policy on Green Procurement.
• Management Processes and Controls: The CNSC is reviewing its contracting activities to include environmental considerations in the performance of the work where applicable. To this end CNSC will be completing in early 2012 a benchmark review of both its motor vehicle and printer fleets after which the CNSC will be integrating environmental considerations in the future life cycle management of these commodities.
• Setting Targets: For 2012-13, the CNSC will:
  • implement a new imaging device strategy with the view of reducing the fleet by 50% by 2013-14,
  • reduce its fleet of motor vehicles by 8%,
  • assess adequacy of the mailroom equipment at headquarters for value, efficiency and environmental footprint.
• Meeting Targets: The CNSC expects to meet the targets for 2011-12. The CNSC will have completed training of over 95% of acquisition cardholders on the Policy on Green Procurement.
• Training: All indeterminate functional specialists in the CNSC have taken CSPS course Green Procurement (C215). All new procurement staff will be expected to complete this course. 
• Performance Evaluations: Performance objectives related to green procurement continue to be included in the performance evaluation of a senior contracting officer and the manager of the contracting unit.

Upcoming Internal Audits and Evaluations over the next three fiscal years

Internal Audits

The following activities are included in the CNSC risk-based Audit Plan for the period 2011-12 to 2013-14. This plan is in the process of being reviewed and updated.

The updated plan will be submitted to the CNSC’s Audit Committee in May 2012 for review and recommendation for approval by the CNSC’s President. It is based on the current capacity of the CNSC’s audit function, risk assessments of proposed audit projects, and management responses and action plans for prior audits for follow-up. The revised plan will outline the projects planned for the upcoming three years. Projects undertaken depend on factors such as resources available to the audit function, the scope and complexity of projects, and the CNSC’s emerging issues and priorities.

The Commission has an Audit Committee with three members who are external to the government and two members internal to the Commission. The Committee is chaired by an external member.

Additional information on the CNSC Internal Audits is available on the CNSC Web site.

Evaluations

The following evaluations are included in the Evaluation plan approved by the CNSC’s Management Committee in April 2011.  This plan is in the process of being updated for 2012, but is not expected to incorporate significant changes.

As a small agency under the current Treasury Board policy, the CNSC is required to evaluate all transfer payment programs every five years, and to undertake other evaluations directed by the President or by Treasury Board. These evaluations are based on an assessment or management needs and other factors such as risk.

Evaluations are undertaken internally by staff of the Head of Evaluation (the Director-General of Strategic Planning), who reports directly to the President on matters pertaining to evaluation. The President is advised by members of the Evaluation Committee, who are members of the CNSC’s Management Committee.
