Emergency Response/Recovery

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.

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.

Program review is planned for 2021-22.

Contribution

Appropriated annually through the Estimates

2015-16

Emergency Prevention/Mitigation

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.

Increased number of communities that:

• Are flood risk quantified;
• Have relevant flood mapping;
• Have risk-based mitigation plans; and
• Have risk-based flood mitigation measures in place.

Crime Prevention

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.

• At risk individuals are reached and supported through direct interventions;
• Positive changes in risk and protective factors associated with criminal behavior;
• Reduced offending among targeted at-risk populations;
• Increased physical security of educational institutions, places of worship and community centers in targeted communities.

Public Safety's GBA+ Action Plan is updated annually and monitored by senior management through the Internal Policy Committee (IPC).
The Plan is based on the following governance model:

• It is the responsibility of all areas of Public Safety to improve and maintain GBA+ capacity and to apply GBA+ considerations to all aspects of the Department's mandate.
•  It confirms that Assistant Deputy Ministers, with the support of their respective GBA+ Advisors, are responsible for ensuring GBA+ is effectively applied to initiatives, and for tracking and reporting on GBA+ outcomes within their area of responsibility.
• It establishes a GBA+ Advisor Network, which provides peer review and advice on GBA+ matters in their respective area of the Department. The Network also serves as a learning and information-sharing forum on GBA+ best practices. The Network is chaired by the department's GBA+ Coordinator.
• The department's GBA+ Focal Point (i.e. champion) provides senior leadership, participates in IPC discussions of GBA+, including the review of new policy proposals in the context of IPC, as well as promotes GBA+ and mentors the GBA+ Advisor Network.

Accountability, monitoring and reporting mechanisms to ensure integration of GBA+ considerations in decision-making include:

• Completion of a comprehensive gender-based analysis for all Cabinet documents.
• Tracking of new policy and program proposals presented to senior management, through the IPC, to monitor the quality and consistency of application of GBA+.
• Biannual reporting to senior management, through the IPC, on the implementation of the Department's GBA+ Action Plan.
• All program evaluations brought to the senior management committee responsible for monitoring program outcomes, the Performance Measurement and Evaluation Committee will also include considerations related to GBA+ outcomes.
• GBA+ indicators that were built into Program Performance Information Profiles and the Departmental Results Framework will be monitored to inform policy and program evolution and decisions.

• GBA+ Focal Point (i.e. champion) at the executive level (EX-03);
• GBA+ Coordinator: 0.5 FTE (Policy Analyst) dedicated to the coordination of GBA+ implementation across the Department;
• 31 FTEs are currently members of the GBA+ Advisor Network.

Initiatives where GBA+ will be applied and monitored in 2019-20, include:

National Strategy on Countering Radicalization to Violence
The Canada Centre's National Strategy for Countering Radicalization to Violence gives significant attention to GBA+ related considerations and reflects the results of a GBA+ describing how gender and other types of diversity factors are to be considered in the development of policy, research and program activities led by the Canada Centre. GBA+ guidance and information requirements will also be included in the next call for proposals for the Community Resilience Fund, a Grants and Contributions fund that supports research and programming for countering radicalization to violence, in order to assist with the incorporation of GBA+ considerations in funded projects and programs. Implementation of the National Strategy for Countering Radicalization to Violence, including GBA+-related factors, will be monitored through the Canada Centre's performance management and evaluation strategy. 

Canadian National Human Trafficking Hotline
Public Safety Canada is supporting, through a contribution agreement with the Canadian Centre to End Human Trafficking, a Canadian National Human Trafficking Hotline. Public Safety Canada's 2018 open call for applications under the Contribution Program to Combat Serious and Organized Crime to implement a national human trafficking hotline and referral service included requirements for robust GBA+ analysis. It identified how members of Indigenous and northern communities, youth, LGBTQ2 persons and service providers who work with human trafficking victims and survivors from these communities would be engaged in the development and implementation of the hotline.

The Centre will build findings from the GBA+ analysis into the implementation of the Canadian National Human Trafficking Hotline. It will ensure engagement of victims and survivors of human trafficking and other vulnerable populations, including Indigenous communities, LGBTQ2 persons and youth in the design of the hotline to ensure that these vulnerable populations have access to referral services across Canada capable of dealing with human trafficking specific matters.
The performance of the Hotline will be evaluated through the Evaluation of the Government of Canada's efforts to combat human trafficking. Findings and recommendations from the Evaluation will be shared with senior management and help inform future decision-making and policy development.

Community Resilience Fund
For 2019-20, the application and assessment process for the Community Resilience Fund will include guidance on the incorporation of GBA+ considerations in proposal design and evaluation. This will support GBA+ in research and programming on countering radicalization to violence CRV and allow us to track improvements in this regard. 

This section/table is to be completed by organizations that are required to develop and report on specific indicator(s) relating to GBA+ implementation within the organization.

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.

April 1, 2017

March 31, 2022

The objective of the horizontal initiative is to build law enforcement training capacity to enforce new and stronger laws related to drug-impaired driving.

Governance will be provided through the existing federal/provincial/territorial (FPT) Assistant Deputy Minister level Committee on Crime Prevention and Policing to provide high level oversight and strategic direction on the implementation of activities; and a FPT working group, represented by Public Safety and transportation sector officials and police forces that are responsible for implementing a national plan aimed at building 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 will assume a central coordinating role in tracking key project milestones and in reporting to federal Ministers.
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, including FPT Deputy Ministers Responsible for Justice and Public Safety.

PS:
In 2019-20, Public Safety Canada will continue to manage and administer multi-year projects aimed at Building and Enhancing Law Enforcement Capacity To Address Drug-Impaired Driving In Canada through the Contribution Program to Combat Serious and Organized Crime. Under this Program, the Federal Government is providing provinces and territories with new funding, announced in 2017, to:

• increase Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and refresher SFST training;
• increase Drug Recognition Expert evaluation training;
• enhance law enforcement trainer and data collection capacity and to support procurement of oral fluid drug screening equipment approved by the Attorney General of Canada for use by law enforcement.

A key priority for 2019-20 will be to further the development of common data metrics and the implementation of standardized data collection and reporting on drug-impaired driving, a key component of the contribution agreements.
Public Safety Canada will also continue to improve the response to drug-impaired driving by investing in more research to study effects of cannabis on drivers. In addition to the funding PS provided in 2018 to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) to help advance scientific knowledge on the impacts of smoked cannabis on drivers ranging in age from 19 to 45, additional research funding will be provided in 2019-20 to support research on the impact of cannabis edibles on driving ability. The results of these studies will further inform policies on cannabis and driving, and public education and awareness material about the dangers of drug-impaired driving.

CBSA:
The CBSA will begin training border services officers in the Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) which consists of three separate physical coordination tests that detect impairment by drugs, alcohol or both. The CBSA plans to train over 1,400 frontline officers who work at the land border in the administration of the SFST test over the next two years.Efforts to provide policy advice and guidance related to the process for detecting drug impaired driving will be ongoing through the 2019-20 fiscal year.

The CBSA's Integrated Customs Enforcement System (ICES), which is used to record seizures and arrests that occur at the port of entry, will be updated to allow for recording of and reporting on drug impaired driving.

RCMP:
There are 25 Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) certification events planned for 2019-20 all of these sessions will be utilizing International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) approved training materials developed by the RCMP. DRE certification events will prepare all police agencies including DND-Military Police. RCMP will be supporting 2-3 SFST instructor development courses for DND-Military Police. RCMP will continue to support 1-2 additional Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST) courses for CBSA in developing their training plans for DID.

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)

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.

September 28, 2018

March 31, 2023

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.

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.

Public Safety Canada will report on results/actions for Year 2 in the Fall 2020.

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.
