Description of the horizontal initiative | The objective of the horizontal initiative is to build law enforcement capacity to enforce new and stronger laws related to drug-impaired driving. The initiative is designed to follow through on the Government's key objectives of protecting public health, safety and security. More specifically, the initiative aims to protect public safety on roadways in Canada by equipping law enforcement with the tools, technology and training necessary to enforce the new drug-impaired driving legislation, and by adding to this deterrence through research, public awareness and the development of evidence-based policies. The federal partner organizations will establish and implement ongoing delivery of this initiative including policy and program development; research and data collection; national public education and awareness activities; and tracking and measurement. Activities are organized under five key themes:
|
Governance structures | Governance is provided through an existing federal, provincial, and territorial (FPT) Assistant Deputy Minister level committee on crime prevention and policing to take stock of overall trends and patterns in DID and results of the initiative; and an FPT working group, represented by public safety and transportation sector officials and police forces that are responsible for planning and implementing a national plan of resources to build law enforcement training capacity across Canada. The FPT Coordinating Committee of Senior Officials led by the Department of Justice is responsible for supporting and developing legal policy options for impaired driving. Public Safety Canada's Drug Policy Division provides a central coordinating role in tracking key project milestones and in reporting on the Initiative. The Government is committed to ongoing collaboration and consultation with provincial and territorial partners. In May 2016, the FPT Senior Officials Working Group on Cannabis Legalization and Regulation was struck, to enable FPT governments to exchange information on important issues about the legalization and regulation of cannabis throughout the consultation, design and implementation of the legislation, regulations, and non-regulatory activities. Supporting FPT working groups and committees have also been established to facilitate ongoing engagement in key priority areas, including drug-impaired driving. In addition, existing FPT bodies are also considering the implications of drug-impaired driving. |

Performance highlights | Public Safety Canada: Public Safety Canada's Drug Policy Division has assumed a central coordinating role in tracking key project milestones, reporting to federal Ministers and senior officials, as well as to Canadians through an annual report on trends and patterns in drug-impaired driving. All three Treasury Board Submission partners are feeding into this annual report. In 2021-22, Public Safety Canada continued to administer multi-year agreements with the provinces and territories aimed at building and enhancing law enforcement capacity to address DID in Canada through the Contribution Program to Combat Serious and Organized Crime (CPCSOC). Under this initiative, the federal Government is providing new funding, announced in 2017, to:
A key priority of the initiative is to develop a common set of data metrics and implement standardized data collection and reporting on DID. Based on data on shared indicators collated from provinces, territories, and federal partners, Public Safety Canada produced the second Annual National Data Report to Inform Trends and Patterns in DID in 2021-22. The report is available on Public Safety Canada website. In order to continue improving the response to DID, Public Safety Canada is funding the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) to conduct laboratory studies on the impacts of smoked and ingested cannabis on drivers. The COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect our lives in 2021-22, and it was no different for activities planned under this initiative. Little training of law enforcement officers including border services officers (BSOs) was delivered during 2021-22, and it is likely that law enforcement interventions as well as patterns in DID were also affected by the pandemic. Nevertheless, there has been a continued increase in law enforcement capacity building through training in and use of tools provided under this initiative. There is now well over 27,000 officers trained in the use of Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) across the country, and there were 1,211 active Drug Recognition Evaluation Experts (DREs) at any point in time in 2021. Furthermore, data shows a continued increase of DREs conducted in 2021-22, which has doubled since 2018. Due to a reduction in the number of certified DRE officers as a consequence of the pandemic, there was a slight decrease in the number of evaluations conducted (5,548 in 2021 from 5,948 in 2020). However, the average number of evaluations per DRE officer rose from 4.28 in 2020 to 4.58 in 2021. There has also been a significant increase in the number of Approved Drug Screening Devices (ADSE) purchased through this initiative, with eleven of thirteen jurisdictions having procured ADSEs in 2021. Their use also appears to be increasing. Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA): In support of reporting, the CBSA’s Integrated Customs Enforcement System (ICES) has been updated to enable reporting on enforcement actions involving drug impaired driving. The projected target is to procure and disseminate 117 ADSE devices to land border ports of entry across Canada and CBSA training sites by March 31, 2025. The Agency initially committed to train 1,425 border services officers in the use of the Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST). The SFST is a battery of 3 divided attention, physical coordination tests used to determine whether a driver is impaired by a drug and/or alcohol. Of the 1,425 border services officers that the Agency committed to train, 716 officers have been deemed SFST certified as of the end of fiscal year 2019-20. Another 712 officers were to be trained in FY 2020-21. However, due to the suspension of the SFST training at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, all Agency face-to-face training has been postponed. This has impacted the number of frontline officers trained to perform this testing and support officer powers/law enforcement partners. Despite this setback, CBSA policies and procedures have been updated to incorporate the Agency’s use of the SFST and written agreements with responding police agencies are being re-negotiated to incorporate the SFST process. As part of related Treasury Board Submission funding, the Agency plans to procure oral fluid screening devices to provide BSOs with another screening tool to detect drug impairment. There are currently two ADSEs approved by the Attorney General, the Dräger Drug Test 5000, and the SoToxa Mobile Analyzer. Both devices have been evaluated for use in the CBSA’s operating environment, and procurement is being considered. Once procurement is underway, CBSA policies and procedures will be updated to support the Agency’s use of the ADSE. Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP): Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all RCMP Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) training was suspended in March 2020. This training partially resumed in late 2021, and fully resumed in March 2022. Since resuming training, 133 new DREs were trained across the RCMP, and in provincial and municipal police forces in Canada. Effort was put into expanding the training capacity of Canadian certifications sites; the Vancouver site began offering training to additional provinces, including Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. In addition, the National Coordination Office provided assistance to Northwest Territories to train the first ADSE instructors and users in the territory. Likewise, assistance was provided to the Canadian Forces Military Police (MP) to bring their DRE numbers up by helping organize a national DRE course exclusively managed by and for the MP. This pilot will provide the Military Police with the expertise and the administrative experience to run their own DRE courses, needing minimal resources from the provinces. |

End date of the horizontal initiative | 2023–24 (and ongoing for certain initiatives) |
|
Description of the horizontal initiative | Natural disasters are a growing threat to the safety and economic stability of Canadian communities. The increasing frequency and severity of disaster events, particularly flooding, wildland fires, and earthquakes, can be attributed to a multitude of factors, including Canada's changing climate, unsustainable development, and increasing urbanization. The correlative increase in post-disaster costs highlights the need to find innovative and sustainable ways to reduce disaster risks, and to strike an improved balance of responsibility for disaster costs across society. |
|
Governance structures | Various governance structures are in place to ensure appropriate oversight and accountabilities for this horizontal initiative, including the Director General Emergency Management Committee (DG-EMC), in addition to working-level committees. DG-EMC is chaired by Public Safety Canada and meets on a regular basis. DG-EMC provides direction to working groups and serves as a permanent governance committee for federal emergency management oversight. DG National Risk Profile (NRP), chaired at the DG level, normally meets on a monthly basis. The DG NRP provides guidance on the development of the NRP, including report development, stakeholder engagement and methodology. |

Performance highlights | Public Safety Canada Emergency Management Strategy for Canada (EM Strategy) In 2021-22, Public Safety Canada supported Strategic Objective 1 of the Emergency Management Strategy for Canada: Toward a Resilient 2030 (EM Strategy) by continuing to work closely with partners to develop a federal, provincial, and territorial (FPT) Action Plan to advance the implementation of the EM Strategy. Throughout 2021-22, as federal lead, Public Safety Canada, alongside provinces and territories (PTs) through the Senior Officials Responsible for Emergency Management (SOREM) table, successfully co-drafted the 2021-22 FPT EM Strategy Interim Action Plan. A FPT working group was convened to support this process. On March 17, 2022, FPT Ministers responsible for EM approved the 2021-22 Interim Action Plan and the document was published online on the Public Safety Canada website. This Interim Action Plan, the first in a series of action plans to 2030, advances defined outcomes within the EM Strategy and demonstrates concrete steps that FPT governments, and respective emergency management partners, intend to take to advance resilience to disasters. The Interim Action Plan includes the five strategic actions and associated outcomes that FPT governments are seeking to achieve to support the implementation of the EM Strategy. National Risk Profile (NRP): Public Safety Canada continued to lead the development of the NRP and further advanced approaches to risk and capability assessments, including through external engagement with PTs, Indigenous organizations and communities, and other subject matter expert participants. Stakeholders were identified through engagement with PTs and other federal departments. A series of twelve virtual risk assessment sessions was conducted in early Spring 2021; these sessions collected qualitative and quantitative data from whole-of-society subject matter experts regarding the potential impacts on people, social functions, the economy, the environment, and government. The hazards and associated risks discussed in these sessions included earthquakes, wildfires, and floods. The negative impacts of risk drivers which may potentially arise over the next three decades, such as climate change and population growth in existing risk areas, were also considered. These sessions strengthened inter-agency and inter-jurisdictional linkages and collaboration. Through the risk assessment process, Public Safety Canada continued to refine the All-Hazards Risk Assessment methodology. To examine Canada’s emergency management (EM) capabilities, Public Safety Canada coordinated a series of whole-of-society virtual capabilities assessments, using the Canadian Core Capabilities List (CCCL) to frame the selection of capabilities for assessment. From November to December 2021, two predominantly quantitative data collection instruments (DCIs) for whole-of-society input were launched, the first one focusing on scoping the EM capabilities based on information gathered during the risk assessment sessions, and the second one focusing on the proper assessment of capabilities to ascertain their baseline, needs (target) and any gaps. Through the process, the Department continued to refine its capability assessment methodology and also worked with an Indigenous contractor to engage Indigenous representation on their insights for disaster risk and to ensure that Indigenous perspectives and considerations would be accurately reflected in NRP reporting. The evidence and data compiled from these sessions and DCIs were combined with other scientific data to inform the first public report of the NRP, which is planned for release in 2023. This public report will incorporate the findings of these sessions to help increase Canadians’ awareness of, and resilience to, disasters such as floods, wildfires and earthquakes. Critical Infrastructure In 2021-22, the Critical Infrastructure Directorate’s (CID) Regional Resilience Assessment Program (RRAP) conducted 11 resilience assessments using the Critical Infrastructure Resilience Tool (CIRT) and the Critical Infrastructure Multimedia Tool (CIMT). This was lower than a typical yearly average due to COVID-19 pandemic-related travel restrictions. In addition to these assessments, RRAP developed a methodology to have CI owners and operators perform online self-assessments for criticality. CID’s performance under the EMS remains strong with 97% of critical infrastructure owners/operators indicating that they took risk management action following a RRAP site assessment, and 95% indicating their level of awareness and understanding increased as a result. Also in 2021-22, CID’s Virtual Risk Analysis Cell (VRAC) developed 13 CI-focused analytical products to support emergency management including events (flood, wildfire, hurricane, winter storm, earthquake); national overviews (wildfires, BC flooding series); and provincial hazard impact assessments. These analytical products were distributed to various CI stakeholders in an effort to increase the resilience of Canada’s CI. An online survey to measure the quality of these products was developed in September 2021 and was being distributed to stakeholders with the delivery of each new product. Emergency Management Public Awareness Contribution Program Now in the second year of a four-year project, the Emergency Management Public Awareness Contribution Program continued to fund the Canadian Red Cross to develop and implement its project to deliver a national public awareness campaign targeting at risk populations, including seniors, youth, women, new Canadians, and Indigenous communities. While progress on this initiative was delayed by operational pressures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, it is expected that the workplan will be on track for 2022-23. Work during 2021-22 included the design and delivery of surveys and focus groups in order to gather baseline data and identify the needs and barriers to preparedness among the targeted groups. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) National Risk Profile – Hazard: Floodplain Mapping ECCC continued work with NRCan and Public Safety Canada to modernize best practices for the promotion of consistent floodplain mapping in Canada. ECCC also engaged with provinces and territories through existing governance structures to inform flood mapping engineering methods and approaches to assess flood maps, and supported NRCan in advancing a national flood-mapping standard. This program continued supporting the dissemination of authoritative flood risk information to the public and inform decision-makers at all levels and in many areas, including in municipal planning and urban development. Key activities realized in 2021-22 includes:
Predicting and Alerting Flooding (coastal flooding) ECCC has also committed to an initiative focused on predicting and alerting for coastal flooding for the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence Seaway, the West Coast, and the Arctic coastline. This initiative is intended to expand the operational capacity for prediction of storm-induced coastal flooding by investing in developing comprehensive coastal flooding prediction and alerting services. Key activities realized in 2021-22 include:
Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) In 2021-22, the FireSmart program supported 85 projects for $10,128,048.36 nationwide, which provided participating First Nations communities with greater knowledge in wildland fire risks and management, training in forest firefighting, and the ability to action fuel management. Recipients' final reports were delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic; upcoming report content will inform the following ISC indicators:
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) Four main programs contribute to the Emergency Management System Horizontal Initiative from NRCan: Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO), National Risk Profile (NRP) Wildland Fire, Wildland Fire Resilience and Earthquake Early Warning. Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO): CCMEO performance result highlights for 2021-22 include developing and distributing geospatial data and tools that identify and map areas of Canada that are at high-risk of floods. This included conducting research to advance flood mapping techniques, publishing guidelines for flood mapping, continuing work on the National Flood Hazard Data Layer, and other activities that will support improved flood mapping of high-risk areas. NRP – Wildland Fire: Led by Canadian Forest Service (CFS), in 2021-22 the NRP Wildland Fire supported the development of common approaches to wildfire risk assessment, including convening regular meetings of the Intergovernmental Table on Wildland Fire Risk (ITWFR), engaging provinces and territories, and participating in the NRP DG Steering Committee. CFS technical experts also developed wildfire scenarios using growth modelling tools and actively participated in Core Capability workshops to assess national emergency management readiness, which builds toward the release of the first publicly available National Risk Assessment scheduled for completion in early 2023. Wildland Fire Resilience: In 2021-22, Wildland Fire Resilience program at CFS funded the Canada Wildfire NSERC Strategic Network, and eighteen (18) contribution agreements with national and regional organizations for wildland fire research, capacity building and tool development that strengthened evidence base for wildfire risk management decision-making. This included conducting research and consultations with stakeholders on enhancements to Canadian Forest Service wildfire modelling and information systems, and completing the conceptual architecture for the Canadian Wildland Fire Information Framework. This work will improve the information systems that enable Canadian jurisdictions to rapidly compile comprehensive information on current and projected wildfire activity. CFS also supported an Indigenous-led process to gauge interest and explore options for an Indigenous-led national Indigenous Wildland Fire Working Group. NRCan received final recommendations from this process and will support the establishment of this group beginning in 2022-23. Earthquake Early Warning (EEW): Lead by the Lands and Minerals Sector (LMS), the EEW program in 2021-22 completed major equipment procurements, including installing the first EEW sensor stations. Software testing is ongoing even as risks arose with respect to timely implementation and costs of computing platforms for EEW alert creation. In addition, the creation of alerts to reduce vulnerabilities for at risk populations (particularly in the GBA Plus space) was a success of the EEW program this year. |

Initiative to Take Action Against Gun and Gang Violence
Name of horizontal initiative | Initiative to Take Action Against Gun and Gang Violence (ITAAGGV) |
---|---|
Lead department | Public Safety Canada |
Federal partner departments | Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Note: Other government departments (e.g. the Department of Justice) are supporting this federal initiative. However, they are not captured in this Horizontal Initiative table as they have not received funding through this initiative. |
Start date of the horizontal initiative | September 28, 2018 |
End date of the horizontal initiative | March 31, 2023 |
Description of the horizontal initiative | These activities deliver on a Budget 2018 Government commitment to take action against gun and gang violence by removing handguns and assault-style firearms from our streets, and for the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness 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 obtain and use firearms, and to reduce gun and gang violence. The ITAAGGV helps to support a variety of strategies to reduce gun crime and criminal gang activities, and is centered around three themes:
RCMP: Is expanding and enhancing existing services by:
CBSA: Is investing in new technologies and specialized training to better interdict illicit trafficking across the border by:
Public Safety Canada is providing funding to provinces and territories (PTs) through the Gun and Gang Violence Action Fund (GGVAF) to combat the issue of gun and gang violence in communities across Canada. PTs are responsible for further distributing funding to eligible recipients in their jurisdictions, in order to advance efforts in the priority areas of prevention; intervention; gang exit; outreach and awareness programming; strategy development; training; and enhancing intelligence sharing and law enforcement capacity to combat gun and gang violence. Additionally, Public Safety Canada will enhance federal leadership by developing an integrated, results-based approach to reducing gun and gang violence across Canada, including by developing expertise on guns and gangs including linkages to other illicit markets; creating a national strategy; as well as improving the collection of national data related to gun and criminal activity in a coordinated approach with partners and the sharing of information and best practices to avoid duplication of efforts. |
Governance structures | Public Safety Canada is establishing an Oversight Committee at the Assistant Deputy Minister (ADM) level for the ITAAGGV. Its role is to review the status of the various initiatives and progresses made in meeting results targets; direct that adjustments be made if necessary; and provide overall direction regarding the implementation of the horizontal initiative. The Committee plans to meet at least twice per year, in intervals which correspond with the planning and reporting cycles. Public Safety Canada will chair the Committee, with participation from CBSA and the RCMP, and will continue to work together to implement the ITAAGGV, including the results measurement strategy. The working group plans to meet at least quarterly in this reporting period. |

Fiscal year of planned completion of next evaluation | A Horizontal Evaluation led by Public Safety of the Initiative to Take Action Against Gun and Gang Violence is underway with a planned completion date in 2022-23. |
Performance highlights | Public Safety Canada: The majority of the ITAAGGV funding (approximately $226M) was provided to Public Safety Canada through the Gun and Gang Violence Action Fund (GGVAF)via contribution agreements with all thirteen provinces and territories (PTs). PTs disperse funds to support initiatives related to enforcement, prevention, prosecution, data collection, and training. Public Safety Canada’s research priorities include engagement with academic and external partners with knowledge on guns and gangs from across Canada to share knowledge of good practices and emerging priorities, and identify specific research and data gaps. Stakeholders are ready to be engaged with a stakeholder engagement survey. This survey will collect information related to the ITAAGGV to work toward achieving better results for all Canadians. The survey results will allow Public Safety to increase awareness about gun and gang violence and efforts to reduce and impacts of these serious issues. To align with Public Safety Canada’s goal to enhance federal leadership, the department will be launching an FPT “Tiger Team” to help in the development of a National Strategy on guns and gangs. This strategy is being developed in collaboration with key stakeholders with plans to be published by 2023. CBSA: CBSA has and will continue to 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 its technology 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 gun trafficking. The initiative is broken down into 6 sub-initiatives:
The 2021-22 results are as follows:
In 2020-21 CBSA processed 400 firearm enforcement actions with resulted in 1,200 firearms seized. In 27% of these actions, the officers used detection technology to assist in the examination and identification of unlawfully imported firearms. RCMP: As part of the Initiative to Take Action Against Gun and Gang Violence (ITAAGGV), the RCMP has continued to bolster its contributions to the federal government’s “Guns & Gangs” priority that targets criminal firearms usage in Canada. During the fiscal year 2021-22, the RCMP’s Canadian Firearms Program (RCMP-CFP) National Weapons Enforcement Support Team (NWEST) responded to 9,361 calls for service in support of firearm related investigations, which represented a significant 224% increase from the previous year. NWEST also led 193 training sessions, where 5,021 individuals received training that is intended to improve the quality of frontline investigations and prosecutions with respect to firearms. This represented a 239% increase in training recipients when compared to 2019. The increased capacity of NWEST to train investigators and respond to calls for service was enabled by the additional resources allocated through ITAAGGV. In addition, NWEST developed and delivered a standardized Firearms Analyst Course for Law Enforcement, which will assist in supporting investigations and criminal prosecutions, which is ongoing and now being delivered across Canada. NWEST also continued to expand its intelligence sharing activities through new Integrated Firearms Trafficking Working Groups in several additional provinces. These working groups have resulted in the successful identification, disruption and prosecution of firearm traffickers. This initiative will be expanded to all provinces and includes stakeholders from all levels of law enforcement. To further combat domestic trafficking, NWEST members engaged the retail industry and law enforcement partners to develop a straw purchaser retail outreach initiative. This collaboration includes the production of a training film for retailers to highlight straw purchaser behaviour and indicia of trafficking. To supplement this initiative, NWEST members attended industry association and trade shows to introduce the video and further educate retailers. As a result of these efforts, NWEST received timely and actionable information directly from the retail industry, leading to the disruption of several suspected domestic traffickers across the country. The RCMP-CFP’s Firearms Internet Investigation Support Unit (FIISU) also contributed to a significant number of trafficking, manufacturing, smuggling and straw purchases investigation requests from law enforcement across Canada, while increasing its efforts to collaborate with RCMP and external partners. The RCMP-CFP’s Specialized Firearms Support Section (SFSS) delivered, in partnership with NWEST, three sessions of Firearms Analyst Courses to law enforcement personnel, in addition to two training sessions focused on Firearms Familiarization and the RCMP’s Firearms Reference Table (FRT) as part of hosting an annual firearms trafficking school. In addition, SFSS reviewed and updated the content of the Firearms Identification for Public Agents and the Firearms Verification E-learning courses. As part of maintaining the FRT, SFSS added over 2,500 entries into this database to identify new firearms entering the marketplace and updated over 4,200 existing FRT records with additional technical information. Additionally, SFSS responded to approximately 1,500 calls/emails assisting law enforcement with firearm identification, classification and technical advice relating to new and emerging technologies, including 3D printing. SFSS received 157 requests by law enforcement for inspections of firearms and related devices to identify and determine their classification and provide other information in support of investigations. The RCMP-CFP’s Criminal Firearms Strategic & Operational Support Services section (CFSOSS) continued to pursue proof-of-concept initiatives that bolster firearms license eligibility screening of high-risk individuals in partnership with provincial Chief Firearms Officers, and leverage available data to support the development of strategic analysis products, including its annual Firearms Analysis & Strategic Summary (FASS) report to provide an overview of the current national firearms landscape. CFSOSS supported partners through the provision of available datasets, including contributions to the Cross-Border Firearms Task Force (CBFTF) with CBSA and BATFE partners, and is finalizing work with Statistics Canada to obtain firearms related UCR microdata. In addition, CFSOSS contributed to critical work undertaken by the Canadian National Firearms Tracing Centre (CNFTC) to expand tracing services to law enforcement through the implementation of a database and reporting tools for firearm trace requests, which will contribute to the availability of accurate statistics on the source of crime guns in Canada. CFSOSS also continued in its lead role within the RCMP to coordinate and enable ITAAGGV activities amongst internal and external horizontal initiative stakeholders. The Criminal Intelligence Service of Canada (CISC) has continued hosting bi-monthly National Street Gang Working Group meetings, including participants from federal, provincial and municipal law enforcement agencies from across the country, enhancing intelligence sharing between intelligence and operational subject matter experts. CISC noted a 40% increase on street gang group related reporting during this period through its integrated threat assessment process. CISC has also continued intelligence collection and assessment activities as they relate to guns and gangs, and has used the information to inform CISC flagship national products, as well as to inform senior policing leaders, non law enforcement partners and the public on related threats and current trends in multiple venues, such as CISC’s 2022 National Symposium on Organised Crime, and the 2021 Public Report on Organized Crime. The RCMP’s National Forensic Laboratory Services (NFLS) continues its engagement with law enforcement partners, including Winnipeg and Edmonton Police Services, to provide Canadian Integrated Ballistics Identification Network (CIBIN) services that has included providing correlation results within five days, as part of the ITAAGGV CIBIN “Lead/No Lead” workflow pilot project. Given the success of this pilot project, work is ongoing to enroll additional partners, including Nova Scotia Department of Justice and Manitoba Justice to increase CIBIN representation across Canada. A partnership with the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams has also been established to improve intelligence gathering and information sharing, with work to create Memorandums and Letters of Understanding now underway. The RCMP's Federal Policing Intelligence Firearms Intelligence Analyst (FIA) team was expanded with the addition of analysts across various divisions, bringing its total compliment to five resources focused on criminal intelligence analysis with a nexus to firearms. Federal Policing National Intelligence (FPNI) developed a roadmap to provide guidance and enable effective program rollout, to align their implementation within Federal Policing. FIAs have begun working closely within and across RCMP divisions to bolster the Force’s national response to illicit firearms-related criminal activity. |

Federal partner departments | Communications Security Establishment (CSE) Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) Global Affairs Canada (GAC) Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) |
Start date of the horizontal initiative | June 2018 |
End date of the horizontal initiative | March 2023 |
Description of the horizontal initiative | In 2010, the Government of Canada launched a national effort to defend against cyber threats via the National Cyber Security Strategy ("NCSS" or "the Strategy"). As the digital economy evolves, so do cyber threats, which requires a renewed approach which responds to the changing landscape. In 2016, the Government of Canada took the first step toward developing a new cyber strategy; a comprehensive Cyber Review was launched, and it included Canada's first public consultation on cyber security which assisted in gaining insights and advice from experts, key stakeholders, and engaged citizens. The updated NCSS—which was published in 2018—responds to the findings of the Cyber Review. It recognizes that robust cyber security is an essential element of Canadian innovation and prosperity. The NCSS is therefore designed to be adaptable and to account for a continuously changing cyber landscape. The NCSS introduces this new strategic direction and defines three goals to achieve its vision of security and prosperity in the digital age:
Funded through Budget 2018 ($507.7M over 5 years, and 108.8M ongoing), the initiatives under the NCSS represent an incremental first step to achieving this vision. As the NCSS is designed to be flexible, it is anticipated that additional initiatives could be identified as the cyber landscape continues to evolve. |
Governance structures | Public Safety Canada leads Government of Canada cyber security policy coordination. The NCSS's horizontal governance and oversight leverages existing inter-departmental cyber security governance structures, including the Deputy Ministers' Committee on Cyber Security (DM Cyber). Co-chaired by the Deputy Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness and the Chief of the Communications Security Establishment, this committee meets regularly to:

Fiscal year of planned completion of next evaluation | The Mid-Term Evaluation of the National Cyber Security Strategy was approved in March 2022. Summary of Evaluation Findings: The evaluation found that there is a continued need for the PS NCSS initiatives due to ongoing and emerging cyber security threats such as ransomware, attacks on critical infrastructure and cyber attacks. The design of the initiatives allows for flexibility to respond to malicious actors and constantly evolving threats. Recommendations: That Public Safety Canada should:

Performance highlights | Within PS, in 2021-22, the Critical Infrastructure Directorate (CID) expanded its cyber security assessments program with the onboarding of the Canadian Cyber Security Tool (CCST). The CCST was developed in collaboration with the Communication Security Establishment’s Centre for Cyber Security (Cyber Centre) and is a virtual self-assessment tool that provides participating Canadian CI owners and operators with an overview of their organizations’ cyber security posture. Results of the CCST also inform program and focus areas that CID and the Cyber Centre can target with CI sectors to develop mitigation measures and awareness raising sessions. There were 157 CCST assessments completed in 2021-22. In 2021-22, CID initiated a new exercise program titled “Cy-Phy 23”, which will span over two years and is designed to explore the relation between the cyber and physical domains with regards to incident response. Two national information seminars were held in 2021-2022 with close to 800 combined participants to help plan the building block activities leading up to the large-scale Exercise in 2023.

Federal partner departments | Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) Financial Transactions and Report Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) Note: Other government departments (Department of Justice (JUS), Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Global Affairs Canada (GAC)) support this federal initiative, but are not captured in this Horizontal Initiative table as they do not receive funding through it. |
Start date of the horizontal initiative | August 16, 2019 |
End date of the horizontal initiative | Ongoing |
Description of the horizontal initiative | The National Strategy to Combat Human Trafficking (the "National Strategy" or "NSCHT") delivers on a Budget 2019 commitment to establish a whole-of-government strategy to combat human trafficking. Led by Public Safety Canada, the NSCHT builds on Canada's current investments and response to human trafficking, and seeks to address identified gaps and challenges through an enhanced and strategic response to this issue, leveraging international best practices when appropriate. The NSCHT brings together all federal human trafficking efforts under a cohesive framework in order to ensure enhanced coordination and alignment of initiatives. It is also an evergreen roadmap for federal efforts that allows new activities and initiatives advancing Canada's anti-human trafficking response to be incorporated as priorities evolve and additional actions are taken. Guided by five strategic pillars of empowerment, prevention, protection, prosecution and partnerships, the NSCHT will enhance efforts in a number of priority areas, such as the need for increased trauma-informed supports and services to protect victims and survivors as well as the promotion of culturally-respectful approaches. The NSCHT will also aim to increase awareness of human trafficking so Canadians can better understand the signs of the crime, and improve the ability of government officials and front-line staff in key sectors to identify, detect, and protect victims and survivors. In other areas, it will:
The NSCHT is funded through an investment of $57.22 million over five years, beginning in 2019-20, and $10.28 million per year ongoing starting in 2024-25. PS received funding to launch a national public awareness campaign, provide enhanced funding for support services for victims and survivors of human trafficking, provide funding for youth at-risk pilot projects and youth hackathons, develop a national case management standard/guidelines and multi-sectoral training tools, establish a survivors advisory committee, appoint a Chief Advisor to Combat Human Trafficking, host an anti-human-trafficking conference, and hold annual stakeholder engagement sessions; CBSA received funding to assess immigration enforcement processes and to establish a dedicated team of border officials to strengthen strategies; WAGE received funding to support the development and implementation of promising practices to enhance empowerment supports for at-risk populations and survivors; IRCC received funding to better detect and respond to suspected cases of human trafficking and to provide protection to victims; PSPC received funding to enhance federal procurement supply chains with the goal of ensuring they are free from human trafficking and labour exploitation; and FINTRAC received funding to enhance Project PROTECT and increase capacity to produce financial intelligence on money laundering. |
Governance structures | Public Safety Canada established a Director General (DG) Steering Committee on Human Trafficking to provide oversight of the horizontal initiative, including addressing operational, implementation, and technical issues. The existing working-level interdepartmental Human Trafficking Taskforce (HTT) will support the work of the DG Steering Committee. The HTT is an interdepartmental group that serves as the working-level governance body for the NSCHT which brings OGD partners together to share information and adapt approaches as needed to respond to emerging trends. The HTT is led by PS and consists of representatives from IRCC, the JUS, the RCMP, ESDC, the CBSA, Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), WAGE, GAC, PSPC, Service Canada, Statistics Canada (STATCAN), the FINTRAC, the Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC), the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), and the Department of National Defense (DND). Additionally, existing federal, provincial, and territorial forums, including the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Working Group on Trafficking in Persons (FPT WG TIP) and the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Deputy Ministers' and Ministers' Public Safety and Justice meetings will be leveraged to coordinate and share information across jurisdictions including providing updates on the status of initiatives under the NSCHT and identifying opportunities for further collaboration. |

Performance highlights | Public Safety Canada In 2021-22, Public Safety continued to coordinate the Government of Canada’s response to human trafficking and advance initiatives and activities under the National Strategy to Combat Human Trafficking (NSCHT). The Department managed 20 multi-year projects under the Contribution Program to Combat Serious and Organized Crime (CPCSOC) that provide specialized and integrated support services for victims and survivors, and help youth—including at-risk youth—better identify the signs of human trafficking and the different aspects of the crime. The Department also continued to lead a national public awareness campaign that focuses on raising awareness among the general public on human trafficking, the warning signs of exploitation, and ways to provide support to victims and survivors. In order to increase victim identification, Public Safety Canada continued to advance the development of multi-sectoral human trafficking training tools that are culturally relevant and gender-responsive for front-line service providers and target groups from the transportation, hospitality, and healthcare sectors. In addition, Public Safety Canada launched two Request for Proposals to develop guidelines for front-line community workers in order to address the specific needs of survivors, assist in their recovery and healing, and minimize re-traumatization. Both initiatives are expected to be published on Public Safety’s website in 2022-23. In an effort to enhance collaboration among all levels of government, Public Safety Canada again hosted the Federal, Provincial, and Territorial Working Group on Trafficking in Persons. This working group provides a forum for federal, provincial, and territorial partners to come together to leverage one another’s efforts to combat human trafficking. Public Safety Canada also continued its investment in the Canadian Centre to End Human Trafficking to operate the multilingual, 24/7 toll-free Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline. FINTRAC Project Protect is an important element of the National Strategy to Combat Human Trafficking: 2019–24 and, since its inception, has played a key role in helping to protect and rescue some of Canada’s most vulnerable citizens. Through Project Protect, FINTRAC worked closely with Canada’s financial institutions to develop an Operational Alert in December 2016, Indicators: The laundering of illicit proceeds from human trafficking for sexual exploitation, in order to increase awareness and understanding of money laundering in relation to human trafficking for sexual exploitation. Following a strategic analysis of its financial intelligence since the beginning of Project Protect, the Centre developed a new Operational Alert with additional indicators, Updated Indicators: Laundering of Proceeds from Human Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation, in consultation with Canada’s financial institutions and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. These additional indicators are meant to further assist businesses in identifying and reporting to FINTRAC financial transactions related to the laundering of funds associated with human trafficking for sexual exploitation. As a result of these efforts and the ongoing commitment of Canadian businesses, FINTRAC received thousands of suspicious transaction reports related to Project Protect in 2021-22. With this information, the Centre was able to provide 332 disclosures of actionable financial intelligence, including thousands of transactions, to Canada’s municipal, provincial and federal law enforcement agencies in support of their human trafficking investigations. The Centre provided nine presentations on Project Protect across Canada in 2021-22, including to the Ontario Provincial Police, Correctional Services – Ontario, the Canada Border Services Agency, the Department of Justice Canada, and the Canadian Police College’s Human Trafficking Investigators Course. FINTRAC also presented a human trafficking case study at the Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists Financial Crime Summit, along with Scotiabank and a Detective Constable from York Regional Police. To recognize World Day Against the Trafficking in Persons, FINTRAC hosted a virtual panel discussion with two courageous individuals who shared their experiences as survivors of human trafficking and emphasized the importance of the public and private sectors working together to combat these terrible crimes. Internationally, the Centre continued to work closely with the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC), sharing insight and best practices related to Project Protect. This included providing a presentation on this seminal public-private partnership to the Australian Fintel Alliance Executive Board in November 2021. In addition, FINTRAC provided 15 significant international presentations related to Project Protect, including at the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation Europe, the International Law Enforcement Training Network, and the Finance Against Slavery and Trafficking (FAST) initiative. FINTRAC also led a presentation on the critical role played by financial intelligence units in public-private partnerships targeting human trafficking at the plenary for the Cercle des Cellules de Renseignement Financiers Francophones du Groupe Egmont in the fall of 2021. FINTRAC is an active participant in this group, which is dedicated to French-speaking financial intelligence units whose focus is on combatting money laundering and terrorist financing. PSPC During 2021-22, Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) has made a number of key advancements to mitigate potential risks of human trafficking and forced labour in federal procurement supply chains. PSPC completed a risk analysis of PSPC’s supply chains to determine which goods were at the highest risk of exposure to human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. PSPC also updated its Code of Conduct for Procurement (the Code), which sets forth human and labour rights expectations for vendors and their subcontractors. In addition, PSPC implemented new anti-forced labour clauses in all goods contracts to ensure that it can terminate contracts where there is credible information that goods have been produced in whole or in part by forced labour or human trafficking. Continuing to build on an evidence based approach, PSPC posted a Request for Proposals to map international human rights due diligence obligations for businesses to report on actions taken to address risks of forced labour, human trafficking, and human rights violations in their supply chains. In addition, beginning January 2022, PSPC officials have been providing ongoing support to the Minister of Labour in the analysis of new legislation targeting the eradication of forced labour from Canadian supply chains. CBSA In 2021-22, Canada Border Services Agency conducted assessments of immigration enforcement processes to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place for victims and survivors of human trafficking and gender-based violence more broadly, and has established a dedicated group of border officers that continues to develop enhanced strategies to combat human trafficking. WAGE In 2021-22, WAGE continued to support 41 projects through the Human Trafficking Fund. The Fund is designed to develop, deliver, and test innovative prevention programs for at-risk populations, including women and girls, Indigenous women and girls, LGBTQ2 and gender non-binary people, children and youth, as well as short-term continuum of care interventions to support victims and survivors while they transition out of human trafficking, reintegrate into their communities, and begin their healing and recovery process. For example:
Given the nature of the projects, short and medium term performance results for the 41 projects funded under WAGE’s Human Trafficking Fund will be available starting in the 2022-23 fiscal year. IRCC In 2021-22, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has resourced FTEs to conduct administrative investigation into trans-national human trafficking networks, support enforcement partners, and provide valuable information to immigration officers globally, to better detect cases of human trafficking. IRCC continued its efforts to bring focus to how the Department manages human trafficking issues internally and promote effective information sharing through its established internal working group. IRCC hosts bi-yearly conference calls with officers from across Canada who are responsible for processing Temporary Resident Permits for Victims of Trafficking in Persons (VTIP TRP) applications to ensure that officers have the information and tools they require to make informed decisions and identify victims of human trafficking. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions, IRCC was unable to host its annual VTIP Symposium in 2021-22, but efforts are being made to host a VTIP Symposium in 2022-23. The Department is continuing the policy research and analysis to determine whether the policy tools (i.e. Ministerial Instructions, Public Policy authorities, and program delivery guidance) used by IRCC continue to be sufficient and appropriate to address the changing nature of human trafficking of foreign nationals in Canada and the significant increase in cases coming forward for issuance of a TRP. |
