Minister's Message

The Honourable [Type Minister's name]

It is my pleasure to present to Parliament and Canadians the 2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities for the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces (DND/CF)1.

Canadians are justifiably proud of the tremendous contributions made by the Defence team to protect Canadians and support our interests and values around the world, including contributing to peace and security operations. In 2012-13, National Defence will continue to ensure operational excellence by fulfilling the roles and missions identified in the Canada First Defence Strategy (CFDS) - defending Canada and Canadians, remaining a strong and reliable partner in defence of North America, and contributing to international peace and security. This year we will continue to modernize the CF in a fiscally sustainable manner.

Our nation is vast and the CF stand ready to help first responders protect Canada and Canadian citizens by responding to natural disasters, such as the recent floods in Manitoba and Quebec, and fires in Saskatchewan and Northern Ontario in 2011. The CF plays a critical role in exercising Canada's sovereignty in the Arctic by conducting a number of routine missions and exercises in the region, such as Operation NANOOK. National Defence also works closely with the United States in the defence of North America through activities such as collaboration within the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) and bilateral discussions on a wide variety of issues. We will continue to bolster the partnership with our closest ally through bilateral training and exercises to enhance the ongoing interoperability of our armed forces and the defence of our shared continent in light of evolving security challenges.

Canadians recognize and deeply appreciate the CF's sacrifices and achievements in Afghanistan over the last decade. The Defence team will maintain operational excellence abroad as we continue the important training role in Afghanistan to which we transitioned in 2011. As demonstrated by their rapid and effective response to events as they unfolded in Libya, the CF remains prepared to conduct operations around the world as directed by the Government.

Balancing these roles at home and abroad, while ensuring the CF have the proper leadership, equipment, training and care, is no small feat. Much of our ability to deliver successfully on these objectives depends on our highly skilled civilian and military workforce. Continuing to fulfill our CFDS commitments, while maintaining the ability for rapid deployment and mission success requires significant resources. Following unprecedented recent investments in DND, the Defence team will now do its part to help balance the budget while working hard to remain an agile, flexible, affordable and resilient military, capable of meeting the needs of Canadians. Smart investments will help modernize and rebuild the CF, as well as continue to have a positive impact on Canadian communities by generating economic opportunities nationwide such as those on both coasts due to the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy (NSPS). It is my privilege to lead this great national institution and I am proud of the professionalism and dedication displayed by the CF and by DND civilian personnel. I look forward to working with Parliament and Canadians on strengthening every aspect of the Defence Team.

Section I: Organizational Overview

Raison d'être

On behalf of the people of Canada, the Canadian Forces (CF) and the Department of National Defence (DND) stand ready to perform three key roles:

  • Defend Canada - by delivering excellence at home;
  • Defend North America - by being a strong and reliable partner with the United States in the defence of the continent; and
  • Contribute to International Peace and Security - by projecting leadership abroad.

The National Defence Act2 establishes DND and the CF as separate entities, operating within an integrated National Defence Headquarters, as they pursue their primary responsibility of providing defence for Canada and Canadians. Defence continues to adapt to an evolving strategic global security environment and is prepared to meet emerging non-traditional challenges such as piracy attacks, as well as traditional ones, including global terrorism, weapons proliferation and the enduring threat of regional conflicts emerging around the world. In addition to the global financial situation, these factors will continue to occupy the international agenda and challenge Canada's security and prosperity.

Responsibilities

The Defence Team is committed to achieving success in a number of priority areas over the course of 2012-13 and beyond. The Department and the CF will continue to focus on ensuring sustainable operational excellence both at home and abroad, on reconstituting and aligning the CF post-combat operations in Afghanistan, on maintaining defence affordability, and on strengthening the Defence Team. To accomplish this, Defence must be agile, flexible, affordable and resilient, employing and sustaining a world-class force with the ability to protect and excel at home; be a strong and reliable defence partner in North America; and make a meaningful contribution to international security.

Our core responsibility is to succeed in operations within an affordable program, while preparing for future operational challenges and caring for our military members and their families.

The focus of Defence activities over the 2012-13 reporting period, as highlighted in this report, are as follows:

  • Conduct training operations in Afghanistan within the construct of NATO/ISAF in order to enhance Afghan security by contributing to the development of Afghan Security Forces;
  • Continue to deliver on our Defence Priorities while supporting the Government of Canada's national and international priorities; and
  • Carrying out the defence mission while deftly managing the Department's resources, given the current global financial situation.

With the volatile world economy as a backdrop, the evolving security environment continues to occupy the international agenda; security challenges include terrorism, the enduring threat of regional conflicts, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and conventional weapons, insurgencies and cyber attacks, piracy, and popular uprisings for democratic reform. The Defence Team will continue to adapt to meet these evolving challenges.

The Defence mandate is carried out with the support of a group of related organizations and agencies within the portfolio of the Minister of National Defence. For further details on selected Defence Portfolio organizations, please refer to Section IV: Other Items of Interest – Selected Defence Portfolio HR and Financial Resources. For further information on the legislative framework within which Defence operates, please see Section IV: Other Items of Interest – Legislative Environment.

Strategic Outcome(s) and Program Activity Architecture

Within Treasury Board’s Policy on Management, Resources and Results Structures3 (MRRS) for planning, management and reporting, the Program Activity Architecture4 establishes Defence’s four Strategic Outcomes.

Each Strategic Outcome is supported by a group of program activities, which, in turn, are aligned to relevant Defence Priorities, Corporate Risks, and a Government of Canada Outcome Area. For further information, please refer to Section IV: Other Items of Interest – Departmental Link to Government of Canada Outcome Areas.

The Canada First Defence Strategy

To help Defence carry out our roles and responsibilities, the Canada First Defence Strategy5 (CFDS), released in May 2008, seeks to ensure a first-class, modern military that is well-trained, well-equipped and ready to take on the challenges of the 21st century.

To accomplish this, the CFDS provided a 20-year roadmap to modernize the CF in our environment of stable and predictable funding that permitted long-term planning and investment in four Defence capability areas or pillars:

3 Roles: Canada, North America, Abroad
[D]

  • Personnel: Expand the CF to a total strength of 100,000 (Regular 70,000/Reserve 30,000) by fiscal year 2027-28;
  • Equipment: Renew the CF's core equipment platforms;
  • Readiness: Maximize personnel training and equipment availability; and
  • Infrastructure: Replace or refurbish approximately 25 per cent of DND infrastructure holdings within 10 years, with approximately 50 per cent being replaced or refurbished over 20 years to meet Canada's future defence and security requirements.

The CFDS articulates the broad strategic vision for Defence aligned with the level of ambition identified by the Government of Canada and outlines six core CF missions in domestic, continental and international contexts:

  • Conduct daily domestic and continental operations, including in the Arctic and through the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD);
  • Support a major international event in Canada such as the G8, G20 and North American Leaders' Summits;
  • Respond to a major terrorist attack;
  • Support civilian authorities during a crisis in Canada such as a natural disaster;
  • Lead and/or conduct a major international operation for an extended period; and
  • Deploy forces in response to crises elsewhere in the world for shorter periods.

This year will mark the opportunity for a cyclical review of the CFDS itself in order to continue the modernization of the CF in a fiscally sustainable manner.

Risk Analysis

Security is influenced by a wide range of factors, domestic and international, that impact on how Defence carries out its mandate. These factors present us with both risks and opportunities, which are taken into account as we deliver on our roles and responsibilities. By continuously monitoring emerging issues, developments and trends we can anticipate and respond to challenges and the risks associated with them.

The DND/CF Corporate Risk Profile (CRP) documents the risks facing Defence, and is an important influence on planning and resource allocation decisions. It is a tool through which the executive leadership can provide guidance and direction in responding to the Corporate Risks assessed as vital to the achievement of the Defence mission.

The CRP is derived from the review of external and internal risks. For FY 2012-13, three key Corporate Risks having a Defence-wide impact are highlighted. These are Defence Team Capacity Issues, Canadian Forces Reconstitution, and Investment Plan (IP) Flexibility. The key Corporate Risks, as well as their attendant mitigation actions, are presented below. To fulfill the Government of Canada's expectations, Defence will continue to manage these Corporate Risks in an effective manner.

Key Corporate Risks
Risk Action
Canadian Forces Reconstitution The Canadian Forces (CF), after several years of high tempo operations centred on Afghanistan, will continue to balance the readiness levels necessary to maintain its leadership role and responsiveness in accordance with the Canada First Defence Strategy (CFDS).

To mitigate this risk, a directive has been issued for future CF Posture and Defence Readiness, which provides a clear and viable plan to develop and maintain the capabilities and readiness levels necessary to meet the requirements of the CFDS.
Defence Team Capacity Defence will continue to place priority on achieving the right balance and composition of the Defence workforce with focused attention on addressing military and civilian occupations of concern, and on leadership and professional development at all levels in the organization.

This will be achieved by continuing to strengthen leadership capacity, succession planning, continuous learning and professional development. Defence will also continue to implement the Public Service Renewal action plan aligned with the Clerk's priorities as well as advance CF Transformation. This has been supplemented with a directive on recruitment and staffing, and succession planning for civilian staff. All Groups and Commands within National Defence have begun using these directives in their annual business plans.
Investment Plan Flexibility Defence will continue to ensure that there is sufficient flexibility in the IP to address both emerging operational requirements and CF capability requirements of the future as outlined in the CFDS.

In support of this, Defence is implementing the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) model and is developing an update to the Investment Plan. These two initiatives will allow Defence to more effectively manage the changes to the Investment Plan (IP) and balance investments across the four pillars of CFDS.

In an effort to increase the visibility of the CRP in this report, Defence has developed a Defence Priorities - CRP - PAA Alignment Matrix6, which illustrates the risks related to each Program Activity. See Section II: Analysis of Program Activities by Strategic Outcome for discussion of risks and associated mitigation strategies.

Organizational Priorities

The Defence Priorities are informed by Government and senior leadership direction and from the key Corporate Risks. They represent a focused number of areas where efforts and resources will be directed to mitigate the risk areas, and to address gaps in capability or capacity, to enable Defence to act effectively on Government of Canada direction. To respond with essential activities while achieving excellence in our operations and management, the Defence Priorities are:

Planning Summary

During FY 2012-13, the CF will maintain the capability to conduct a range of missions at home and abroad, in collaboration with our whole-of-government and international partners. The CF will continue to lend a helping hand to Canadians in need, as they did following the First Air crash in the North in 2011, the flooding in Manitoba and Quebec, and the fires in Saskatchewan and Northern Ontario. Defence will also continue to support multinational drug interdiction operations in the Caribbean and East Pacific to help to disrupt the flow of illicit drugs to Canadian communities, and will continue to assist in endeavours such as dealing with illegal immigration.

The CF will continue to make a significant contribution to international security as they have been doing in Afghanistan. For example, through Operation ATTENTION, and in Canada's participation in the NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan (NTM-A), the CF is delivering training and professional development services to the national security forces of Afghanistan, including the Afghan National Army and the Afghan National Police. The Canadian effort is concentrated in Kabul and Mazar-e-Sharif. CF members will fill command and training development positions and deliver training in areas such as leadership, health care, literacy improvement, and the core professional skills of soldiers and police.

The CF is having an impact elsewhere in the region as well. Canada is contributing to the Middle East Peace Process by supporting the US Security Coordinator (USSC) efforts to build Palestinian security capacity with Op PROTEUS. The CF expertise, flexibility and unique access to the West Bank is key to the USSC's mission. Op PROTEUS focuses on security sector reforms of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and among many projects has helped the USSC to create, equip and train 10 Special Battalions of 500 personnel each within the PA's National Security Force that provides the nucleus of security in West Bank Governorates.

As evidenced by our participation in the NATO-led operation in Libya, OP MOBILE, the CF has also demonstrated a high level of readiness to deploy elsewhere around the world if requested to do so by the Government of Canada. Defence will ensure that forces are ready to deploy to similar international operations in the future when requested by the Government of Canada.

Defence will continue the modernization of the CF by advancing numerous key projects while seeking new efficiencies. In FY 2012-13, Defence will:

  • Re-evaluate the Investment Plan to balance Canada First Defence Strategy requirements;
  • Streamline the procurement process and relationships with other government departments (OGD) including Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC); and
  • Support other government departments (OGD) in the implementation of the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy (NSPS).

Through these and other activities, Defence will meet the expectations of the Government of Canada and Canadians.

Contribution to the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy

The Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) outlines the Government of Canada's commitment to improving the transparency of environmental decision-making by articulating its key strategic environmental goals and targets. Defence ensures that consideration of these outcomes is an integral part of its decision-making processes. In particular, through the federal Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) process, any new policy, plan, or program initiative includes an analysis of its impact on attaining the FSDS goals and targets. The results of SEAs are made public when an initiative is announced, demonstrating the department's commitment to achieving the FSDS goals and targets.

Defence contributes to Theme IV - Shrinking the Environmental Footprint – Beginning with Government, as denoted by the visual identifier below.
 Theme IV - Shrinking the Environmental Footprint - Beginning with Government - visual identifier

  • Equipment Acquisition and Disposal;
  • Real Property and Informatics Infrastructure Acquisition and Disposal;
  • Environment Protection and Stewardship; and
  • Internal Services.

A Defence Environmental Strategy (DES) will also be implemented to reflect the breadth of effort that Defence commits to the environment and sustainable development, including Defence's significant contribution to the Government of Canada's Federal Sustainable Development Strategy. Operational themes within the DES will be aligned with the program activities of the Department's Program Activity Architecture to demonstrate their relevance toward achieving the strategic outcomes that support the Canada First Defence Strategy.

For additional details on Defence's activities to support sustainable development please see Section II of this RPP and http://www.vcds-vcemd.forces.gc.ca/sites/page-eng.asp?page=5609. For complete details on the FSDS please see http://www.ec.gc.ca/dd-sd/.
