[10] Notes on Human Resources Summary (Full-Time Equivalent) reported in Section I:

  • Military personnel size is measured by total strength and includes Vote 5 funded personnel and approximately 1,100 members on leave without pay (80% related to parental leave).
  • Primary Reserve Class C figures are reported separately to maintain the visibility of reservists employed full-time in support of deployed/contingency operations.
  • For reporting purposes, Primary Reserve Class C are considered equivalent to the Regular Force personnel as they are entitled to equivalent pay, benefits and liability as a Regular Force member.
  • Primary Reserve Class C is calculated as person year. For example, two Primary Reservists on Class C service for six months would count as one military FTE.
  • Civilian workforce is planned through a salary wage envelope (SWE). For reporting purposes, the civilian workforce is measured by FTEs. The FTE total includes all personnel tenure (indeterminate, term, casual and student employees) actively employed and calculated as person year. For example, two part-time employees sharing one position would count as one FTE.
  • Civilian workforce planned FTEs are subject to final budgetary approval.
  • Civilian FTEs include approximately 950 Vote 5 funded personnel. Civilian FTEs do not include personnel on leave without pay.
  • FTE figures in this RPP are not consistent 1:1 with the FTE figures used for the allocation of the financial resources approved for the 2011-12 Annual Reference Level Update (ARLU).
  • Planned FTE figures are based on planned establishment numbers.

[11] Notes on Human Resources Summary (Reserve Force Personnel) reported in Section I:

  • The Primary Reserve are those personnel working in various capacities with the CF where Class A reservists perform part-time work and training, Class B reservists are employed full-time or perform full-time training for more than 14 consecutive days, and Class C reservists are employed full-time but with the equivalent pay, benefits and liability as a Regular Force member.
  • The majority of Reservists serve on part-time (Class A) service. There is a significant reduction in Class A numbers during the summer as many personnel are away from their home units conducting training on short-term Class B status. In addition, some Primary Reserve members are inactive. For these reasons, total strength is not an accurate representation of those on duty. The portion of Primary Reserve that is on duty and receives payment is counted and reported as the Primary Reserve average paid strength (an annual monthly average).
  • Primary Reserve average paid strength reporting, planning and allocations are based on monthly reports provided by Assistant Deputy Minister (Finance and Corporate Services)/Director Strategic Finance Costing and Assistant Deputy Minister (Information Management)/Director Human Resource Information Management (DHRIM).
  • Canada First Defence Strategy calls for the Reserve Force expansion to 27,000 (average paid strength) by fiscal year 2011-12.
  • Canadian Ranger planned expansion is 5,000 by fiscal year 2011-12.
  • Further information on Primary Reserve Planned Expenditures can be found in Section IV: Other Items of Interest - Reserve Force.

[12] Notes on Full Time Equivalents reported in Section II: Analysis of Program Activities by Strategic Outcome:

  • Due to rounding, totals may not add up to those reported in Section I.
  • Due to the re-attribution of resources across the PAA since RPP 2010-11, planned FTEs reported in RPP 2010-11 by Program Activity for fiscal years 2011-12 and 2012-13 differ in this report.
  • Planned FTE figures are based on planned establishment numbers.
  • FTE numbers in this report are not consistent 1:1 with the FTE numbers used for the allocation of the financial resources approved for the 2011-12 Annual Reference Level Update (ARLU). This is due to the methodology used to derive the HR attribution across the PAA. Overall totals for HR financial data will not be an exact match with the financial tables. Where discrepancies occur, the financial tables take precedence.
  • All human and financial resources figures include selected Defence portfolio organizations reporting to the Minister of National Defence. For details, please see Section IV: Other Items of Interest - Selected Defence Portfolio HR and Financial Resources.
  • Military FTEs are derived from a representative financial formula, as there is not a consistent 1:1 relationship between FTEs and program activities.
  • Financial planning figures include Class A and Class B Primary Reserve personnel costs. However, Class A and Class B Primary Reserve FTEs are not reflected in the FTE count. Defence is currently exploring options to resolve this issue for future reports.
  • Within the International Peace, Stability and Security table, Reserve Class C FTEs for FY 2011-12 represent personnel requirements for the close-out of the combat mission in Afghanistan in 2011and planning for CF readiness post-2011 including the Government's commitment to train the Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police.
  • Civilian workforce is planned through a salary wage envelope (SWE). For reporting purposes, the civilian workforce is measured by FTEs. The FTE total includes all personnel tenure (indeterminate, term, casual and student employees) actively employed and calculated as person year. For example, two part-time employees sharing one position would count as one FTE.
  • Civilian workforce planned FTEs are subject to final budgetary approval.

[18] JOINTEX (Joint Exercise) is a series of exercises, directed by the Chief of the Defence Staff, with the twin aims of exercising the execution of CF Joint Operations at the Operational Level, and acting as a catalyst for further joint development within the CF. Results from the December 2010 Canadian Forces Warfare Centre (CFWC) lead Concept Development working group will form the foundation for an army-led Computer Assisted Exercise (CAX) development period that will culminate in such an exercise in fiscal year 2012-13.

[20] The increase in the number of S&T projects from 300 in RPP 2010-11 is due to the addition of projects grouped under the Public Security Science and Technology (PSS&T) portfolio (in cooperation with Public Safety Canada). RPP 2010-11 included only projects under the Research, Technology and Analysis (RTA) portfolio.
