$20,139,742

Comment(s) on Variance(s): The actual lapse for this Program (FNPP) is $0.6M and is represented by the difference between the Total Authorities and the Actual Spending.  The variance of $20M in Program spending is due to the following: from Planned Spending, $40.4M was transferred to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) through Supplementary Estimates and is therefore not represented as Actual Spending.  As well, for 2009-10, additional funding was received in Supplementary Estimates to sustain existing policing agreements ($8.3M) while a comprehensive review is being conducted, and to address critical policing infrastructure needs ($12.6M).  This increase in spending offset the variance caused by the budget transfer to the RCMP.

Audit planned: Follow-up of the 2007 audit of the First Nations Policing Program underway

Expected completion date: May 2010

Evaluation planned: Evaluation planned

Expected completion date: September 2010

[1] 2009-10 Total Authorities and Actual Spending include investments for Critical Policing Infrastructure (Budget 2009). Please refer to page 28 of the 2009-10 Public Safety Canada Departmental Performance Report for details on the Canada Economic Action Plan.

Start Date: 1998-99

End Date: Ongoing

Strategic Outcome: A safe and resilient Canada

Program Activity: Crime Prevention

Description: The National Crime Prevention Strategy provides a policy framework for the implementation of crime prevention interventions in Canada.

Results Achieved: The NCPS, renewed in 2008, provides a new, more directed approach to crime prevention in Canada. The renewed Strategy promotes evidence-based interventions, using research on what works in crime prevention to guide approvals of applications.

Evidence to demonstrate the achievement of the expected result will not be obtained until the projects have concluded (mostly in 2013). Projects will be evaluated to measure and validate results.
