Planned Results on Workplace Wellness and Diversity
Public Safety Canada 2019-20 Planned Results
Public Safety's operating context in the areas of workplace wellness, diversity and inclusion is guided by our departmental priority "to continue to strengthen an ethical and values-based departmental culture focused on respect and people-centered practices, mental health, and workplace wellness". The Department is concentrating its actions on the following five strategic elements as part of its approach for improving workplace wellness; diversity and inclusion; Ethical Leadership; Values-based People Practices; Values and Ethics Culture; Standards and Recourse; and Risk Assessment and Controls.
Key external drivers include, but are not limited to, the changes to address harassment and violence to be implemented under Bill C-65; the Clerk of the Privy Council's report on Safe Workspaces; the continuing influence of the National Standard on Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace; and the Joint Union/Management Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion's final report, Building a Diverse and Inclusive Public Service.
Our priorities and drivers reflect the need to enhance our focus on building competencies that will help move managers from simply being aware of their responsibilities to becoming active participants in creating an environment that attracts and retains diverse talent in a healthy and values-based organization, which will enable Public Safety to fulfill its mandate.

Context for the Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy
The Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy (DSDS) describes the activities that Public Safety Canada has committed to undertake over the next three years to ensure that it is doing its part in contributing to the broader goals of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy. The Department will strive to advance its sustainability priorities and integrate environmental and sustainable development considerations into its departmental policies, plans and programs.
-
Commitments for Public Safety Canada
Public Safety Canada is maintaining the actions set out in the 2017-20 DSDS tabled in October 2017.
-
Integrating Sustainable Development
Over the next three years, Public Safety Canada will continue to integrate sustainable development and focus on the following environmental activities:
- further integrate sustainable development into its internal policy and operational processes;
- reduce greenhouse gas emissions;
- support the transition to a low-carbon economy through green procurement;
- leverage information technology to reduce paper consumption;
- raise awareness on greening the Department's operations and sustainable workplace practices; and
- collaborate with provinces, territories and other partners in preventing environmental emergencies and/or mitigating their impacts.
Public Safety Canada will continue to ensure that its decision-making processes include consideration of Federal Sustainable Development Strategy for Canada (FSDS) goals and targets through its Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) process. A SEA for policy, plan or program proposals includes an analysis of the impacts of the given proposal on the environment, including on FSDS goals and targets.
Public statements on the results of Public Safety Canada's assessments are made public when an initiative that has undergone a detailed SEA is announced on the Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy web page. The purpose of the public statement is to demonstrate that the environmental effects, including the impacts on achieving the FSDS goals and targets, of the approved policy, plan or program have been considered during proposal development and decision-making.

Emergency Response/Recovery |
Description |
The Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements (DFAA) provides federal financial assistance to provinces and territories (PTs) affected by large natural disasters such as floods and storms. The DFAA program was established in 1970, to provide the Government with consistent and equitable mechanisms to cost share PTs response and recovery expenditures when such costs place a significant burden on the affected PT, and exceed an amount that these jurisdictions might reasonably be expected to bear on their own. Following a natural disaster, an affected PT may make a request for federal financial assistance to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada. If an Order in Council declaring the event to be of concern to the federal government and authorizing the Minister to provide financial assistance to the jurisdiction is approved, the Minister will inform the affected PT that federal financial assistance will be provided in accordance with the program's guidelines. These guidelines include an established cost-sharing formula. This is not a program with repayable contributions. |
Expected results |
The DFAA assists provinces and territories with the costs of dealing with a disaster where those costs would otherwise place a significant burden on the province or territory and would exceed what they might reasonably be expected to bear on their own. |

Indigenous Policing Border Policy |
Description |
The First Nations Policing Program (FNPP) provides contribution funding with provinces and territories to support policing services that are professional, dedicated and responsive to the First Nations and Inuit communities they serve. The Program is delivered through tripartite policing agreements that are negotiated among the federal government, provincial or territorial governments, and First Nations or Inuit communities. Agreements under the Program are cost-shared in accordance with a 52% federal and 48% provincial/territorial ratio. In addition, the Program provides broad policy advice on Indigenous policing and justice issues, including Indigenous self-government. The Program also conducts relevant research and performance measurement to ensure that credible performance data is being collected to support effective program monitoring and evaluation activities; engages stakeholders in developing policy options for improving public safety in First Nations and Inuit communities, and works collaboratively with other federal partners in addressing diverse challenges in First Nations and Inuit communities. |

Emergency Prevention/Mitigation |
Description |
In recognition of increasing disaster risks and costs, Budget 2014 provided contribution funding of $183.8 million over five years to establish the National Disaster Mitigation Program (NDMP) as part of the Government's commitment to build safer and more resilient communities. The NDMP addresses rising flood risks and costs, and builds the foundation for informed mitigation investments that could reduce, or even negate, the effects of flood events. The NDMP fills a critical gap in Canada's ability to effectively mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from, flood-related events by building a body of knowledge on flood risks in Canada, and investing in foundational flood mitigation activities. Knowledge that is up-to-date and accessible will not only help governments, communities and individuals to understand flood risks and employ effective mitigation strategies to reduce the impacts of flooding, but also furthers discussions on developing a residential flood insurance market in Canada. |

Crime Prevention |
Description |
The National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS) is a key component of the federal government's approach to reducing crime. The Strategy's goal is to reduce offending among those most at risk, such as children, youth and Indigenous Canadians, and to prevent crimes such as drug-related offences, and serious and violent offences from being committed. The Strategy provides national leadership in the development and dissemination of evidence-based crime prevention programs and policies, and supports projects that are responsive and appropriate to community and regional needs. The NCPS provides funding through time-limited grants and contributions to community-based organizations, other levels of government and academia to support the implementation and evaluation of targeted interventions and other measures, as well as the development and dissemination of knowledge and practical tools. The strategy aims to increase coordination and integration of effective crime prevention policy and programs federally and with the provinces and territories, as well as increase the identification of, and response to, emerging priority issues and orientation of funding programs. |

Gender-Based Analysis+ (GBA+)
Public Safety has committed to ensuring the application of Gender-based analysis Plus (GBA+) in the development and implementation of its policies and programs, and management of its operations. The department will continue to build capacity across the organization and monitor the quality and consistency of application of GBA+ to inform its work to keep all Canadians safe.
To better inform the work of the Department and improve outcomes for Canadians, GBA+ will be particularly emphasized in the department's communications and consultations with stakeholders, and in the development and implementation of policies, programs and services, as well as the completion of evaluations.
To support these efforts and to guide Public Safety's implementation of GBA+, a Departmental Action Plan was established in 2017 and is updated annually.
The Action Plan's objectives are to:
- Increase awareness of enhanced GBA+ obligations and shared responsibility for performance;
- Build capacity, including access to training, tools and a support network for Public Safety analysts conducting GBA+; and
- Enhance governance, assessment, tracking and reporting on departmental GBA+ performance and the implementation of its Action Plan.
Governance structures | Public Safety's GBA+ Action Plan is updated annually and monitored by senior management through the Internal Policy Committee (IPC).
Accountability, monitoring and reporting mechanisms to ensure integration of GBA+ considerations in decision-making include:

Horizontal initiatives
National Cyber Security Strategy – Budget 2018 Horizontal Initiative
In June 2018, the Government announced its National Cyber Security Strategy to guide the Government of Canada's cyber security activities to safeguard Canadians' digital privacy and security. Budget 2018 allocated $507.7 million for 5 years and an additional $108.8 million a year in on-going funding for 14 individual initiatives to be completed by 8 different departments as a significant investment in advancing the strategy. This allocation has been identified as a Horizontal Initiative with Public Safety as the lead department. At the time of preparing the Departmental Plan, the individual departments were still in the detailed planning processes for their initiative(s). The appropriate details will be included in the next Public Safety Departmental Results Report and the next Departmental Plan.

Description of the horizontal initiative |
The proposed activities deliver on a Budget 2016 Government commitment to take action against gun and gang violence by removing handguns and assault weapons from our streets; for the Minister of Public Safety Canada (PS) to work with provincial, territorial and municipal counterparts to develop a strategy on how the federal government can best support communities and law enforcement in their ongoing efforts to make it harder for criminals to get and use weapons and to reduce guns and gang violence. This Initiative will help support a variety of initiatives to reduce gun crime and criminal gang activities within three themes: 1) Investing in communities through a Grants and Contributions program; 2) Enhancing Federal Enforcement Capacity within the RCMP and CBSA, and; 3) Enhancing Federal Leadership by Public Safety to promote improved data collection, research and information sharing. Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP): RCMP will expand and enhance existing services provided under the Investments to Combat the Criminal Use of Firearms (ICCUF) horizontal initiative by: bolstering investigative firearms support nationwide; leveraging increased capacity to conduct physical firearms inspections; identifying and supporting intelligence development related to street gangs; prioritizing the use of the Canadian Integrated Ballistics Identification Network (CIBIN) for gang-related cases; providing anonymous online capability to investigate firearms trafficking and smuggling; enhancing analytical capacity to develop and produce actionable intelligence; and establishing the Criminal Firearms Strategic and Operational Support Services (CFSOSS) team to coordinate efforts and support initiative partners with tools, strategic analysis, and research related to criminal gun usage and gang violence. Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA): CBSA will invest in new technologies and specialized training to better interdict illicit trafficking across the border by: procuring detection technology for International Postal Processing Facilities and major International Airport Facilities to streamline the inspection of mail and air cargo; construct facilities and invest in training to increase CBSA's detector dog team capacity to identify drugs and firearms at ports of entry through less invasive means; invest in IT capability to effectively leverage Interpol information to interdict high risk travellers at the earliest point in the continuum; develop and deploy national training to enhance CBSA effectiveness to identify, detect, and interdict illicit trafficking. |
Governance structures |
Public Safety will establish and chair an Assistant Deputy Minister (ADM) level committee with participation from CBSA and RCMP as the Oversight Committee for the Initiative. The Committee will meet at least twice a year, corresponding with the planning and reporting cycle. Its role is to review the status of the various initiatives and progress made in meeting results targets; direct adjustments if necessary; and provide overall direction to the implementation of the horizontal initiative. A working group comprising PS, RCMP and CBSA have been working together in the development of the ITAAGGV, including the results measurement strategy. Going forward, partners will ensure that the membership of this group reflects the necessary areas within each organization to speak to programming and results and financial planning and reporting. This group will meet to ensure that systems are in place to support effective horizontal planning and reporting and will support the ADM level Oversight Committee, ensuring that any issues that may affect the performance of the initiative are flagged to ADMs as they arise. |

Planning highlights |
The bulk of the funding for Public Safety ($18.4 million) is grants and contributions that will be allocated to provinces and territories to support their efforts in enforcement, prevention, prosecution, data collection, and training. The remainder will fund operating expenditures to support programs, policy development, information sharing, national collaboration, research and data collection. The funding provided to the RCMP for operating and capital expenditures will enhance the RCMP's capacity to support investigations through the provision of nationwide firearms support services, firearms inspections and identification, intelligence development and analysis, and access to specialized databases, expert advice, and training. The funding provided to the CBSA for operating and capital expenditures will increase the Agency's capacity to prevent illegal firearms from coming into Canada through enhanced imaging technology, expanding the detector dog program and officer training. |
