| i 2019-20 DEPARTMENTAL RESULTS REPORT ii | TABLE OF CONTENTS 2019-20 DEPARTMENTAL RESULTS REPORT Minister’s message As Minister of National Defence, it is my privilege to present the Departmental Results Report for fiscal year 2019-20. Throughout the year, Defence personnel continued to advance the initiatives in Canada’s 20-year defence policy, Strong, Secure, Engagedi while remaining ready to assist Canadians when called upon. As we approached the end of 2019-20, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. Defence, like the rest of the Government of Canada, put in place exceptional measures to keep our personnel healthy and able to deliver critical operations and serve Canadians. From the start, Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members were part of Canada’s fight against COVID-19 when they helped bring Canadians home from China, Japan and the United States. And they continued this fight into the next fiscal year when they answered the call to help Ontario and Quebec long-term care homes that had major outbreaks of the virus. When Canadians need our women and men in uniform, they are there. That was the case in 2019, when New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario were impacted by floods, when Nova Scotia was dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian, and when Pikangikum First Nation members needed to be evacuated due to heavy smoke from forest fires. In early 2020, they were in Newfoundland and Labrador when a major snow storm led to states of emergency in several communities. Canada’s friends and allies can also count on our Armed Forces. In 2019-20, they continued to defend North America in partnership with the United States military, and were deployed to more than 20 peace and security operations around the world – helping Canada remain secure and exerting a positive influence on the global stage. With the right care, support and capabilities, our people are better able to carry out their difficult missions. The array of projects delivered since the last results report included changes to the Reserve Force pay structure, new training tools and services for members and their families as they transition from active duty to post-military life through the CAF Transition Group, final delivery of the upgraded Light Armoured Vehicle III, and builder trials for the future Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship Harry DeWolf. The Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces always stand ready to serve. I am proud of all that the military and civilian Defence Team accomplished during the last fiscal year. In this report, you will find more information about the wide range of their activities on behalf of Canada and Canadians. Original signed by: The Honourable Harjit S.

  • Canadian Forces Transformation: Institutional Leadership As a Catalyst for Change
    MICHAEL K. J LIEUTENANT-GENERAL (RETIRED) MICHAEL K. JEFFERY The 1990s proved to be a turbulent period for the Canadian Forces (CF). The early years of the new millennium were equally as challenging, as the CF EFFERY was engaged in operations in Afghanistan and around the globe. What was clear was that the contemporary security environment had changed. As such, there was a requirement for the CF to transform to meet the new operating environment. I NSIDE INSIDE In 2005, the Minister of National Defence provided the incoming Chief of the Defence Staff, General Rick Hillier, with the resources and opportunity to CANADIAN FORCES undertake a CF Transformation. Given his firm belief that the CF needed to C ANADIAN FORCES change, and by nature a risk taker, General Hillier embraced the opportunity. TRANSFORMATION: This book describes the initial years of the formal CF Transformation that was led by General Hillier. It is a superb case study of a seminal point in CF history. INSTITUTIONAL LEADERSHIP AS A CATALYST FOR CHANGE Written by former Chief of the Land Staff, Lieutenant-General Michael Jeffery, who himself implemented a strategy of change for the Canadian army and who witnessed first-hand the process of CF Transformation, it captures both the considerable success, but also the difficulties of the process.

  • Canada-US Report.Indd
    Workshop Report Workshop Report Rapporteurs David Szabo Todd M. Walters FOREWORD The relationship between Canada and the United States has been critically important for the defense of North America for over sixty years. The tremendous volume of trade that crosses the Canadian-U.S. border – currently valued at approximately $1.4 billion a day – is vital to both countries. Furthermore, close bilateral cooperation has been required to secure the fl ow of people and goods across an immense shared border and maritime domain. The events of September 11, 2001, fundamentally changed the security relationship between Canada and the United States. The focus of that relationship shifted to guarding against terrorists that have the potential to strike within our borders. This new asymmetric threat environment demands new ways of thinking about homeland security and homeland defense, and will require diffi cult but essential organizational and cultural changes to government agencies operating within and between the United States and Canada. Moreover, decisions need to be made about how the security relationship can be effectively extended to the maritime domain. In order to discuss these new challenges and how we can best confront them, the Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis (IFPA) and the Canadian Embassy in the United States, with the sponsorship of the Richard Lounsbery Foundation, convened a meeting entitled The Canada-U.S. Partnership: Enhancing Our Common Security on March 14, 2005, at the Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. This was envisaged as the fi rst in a series that will include a similar meeting on U.S.-Mexico homeland security cooperation in the near future.
