Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement): The commemoration of the War of 1812 provides Canadians across the country with a unique opportunity to participate in national and local initiatives to highlight this defining moment in our history.

Acting as the focal point for the Government of Canada War of 1812 initiatives, the Department of Canadian Heritage (PCH) provides leadership and coordination to stimulate involvement of federal departments and agencies to increase awareness and appreciation of the importance of the War of 1812 on the evolution of Canada. Canadian Heritage is working closely with federal departments and agencies to create commemorations worthy of this important milestone and to generate excitement about our country and its history among all Canadians.

Budget 2010 provided incremental funding of $28 million over three years, allocated to the Department of Canadian Heritage ($17.8 million), the Parks Canada Agency ($9.42 million) and the Canadian War Museum ($780,000). In addition to this incremental funding, existing programs within the Department of Canadian Heritage are funding War of 1812 initiatives from within existing budgets. Other federal departments and agencies are also developing activities from within their existing budgets.

Shared Outcome(s): There are three levels of shared outcomes as identified below:

Final Outcomes: • Canadians have an increased awareness of their history as it relates to the War of 1812.

Intermediate Outcomes: • Canadians participate in commemoration activities and events. • Canadians gain an appreciation of the War of 1812 and the history of their country.

Immediate Outcomes: • Canadians are aware of the commemoration of the War of 1812 and have opportunities to participate in commemoration activities and events. • Commemoration activities and events have a pan-Canadian reach and visibility. • Programming at historic sites is enhanced.

1 Governance Structure(s): • Federal Secretariat, Bicentennial of the War of 1812, Canadian Heritage; • Working groups supporting interdepartmental and intradepartmental coordination and information sharing; • Interdepartmental Communications War of 1812 Working Group.

Performance Highlights: The War of 1812 was a defining chapter in Canada's history as a nation, and the Department led and coordinated on behalf of the Government of Canada, a three-year commemoration initiative to increase Canadians’ knowledge and understanding of this major historical event that was key to ensuring our country’s existence and shaping our identity as Canadians.

Through the 1812 Commemoration Fund $11.5 million was available over the three-year period for community-based projects across Canada commemorating the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. The Fund was administered by the Federal Secretariat for the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 housed within the Department of Canadian Heritage. The Fund complements funding available through existing programs. In 2013–2014, the Fund supported a total of 79 projects. Since the launch of the commemoration in 2011, the Fund supported 160 projects across Canada and reached over one million Canadians. The 1812 Commemoration Fund ended on March 31, 2014.

In addition to the funding provided through the 1812 Commemoration Fund, other Canadian Heritage programs provided over $5 million in 2013–14 funding from within their existing program budgets in support of 15 projects commemorating the War of 1812. Other federal departments and agencies have developed initiatives from within their existing budgets. Some of these initiatives included the enhancement of interpretative programming at key War of 1812 National Historic Sites; supporting grass root community initiatives across the country; the production of a Guide to War of 1812 Sites in North America; hosting of commemorative citizenship ceremonies by the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Canada where 1812 communication products and educational tools were distributed. The Canadian War Museum continued to present their travelling exhibits at local museums and non-traditional venues across Canada and abroad. The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada leveraged 1812-related events to raise greater awareness of Canada’s close defence and security relationship with the United States such as commemorative events at Fort Meigs and at Put-In-Bay, Ohio, to commemorate the Battle of Fort Meigs and the Battle of Lake Erie. Parks Canada “1812 On Tour” traveled to 22 events in 2013 (including events in Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario) and brought to life the stories of the War.

In 2013–14, Canadian Heritage continued to add new content to the Government of Canada website (1812.gc.ca), application and mobile site for the War of 1812 including information such as special events, press releases, photos and new educational material.

The Federal Secretariat is overseeing plans for the design and construction of a national War of 1812 monument in the National Capital Region to recognize the courage and bravery of those who served during the War of 1812 and successfully defended their land in the fight for Canada. Parliament Hill has been selected as the site for the War of 1812 monument. The Federal Secretariat continues to work in partnership with the National Capital Commission and Public Works and Government Services Canada to advance planning for the design and construction of the monument.

Name of the horizontal initiative: Roadmap for Canada’s Official Languages 2013–18

Name of the lead department: Canadian Heritage

Lead department Program: Official Languages

Start Date of the Horizontal Initiative: April 1, 2013

End date of the Horizontal Initiative: March 31, 2018

Total federal funding allocation (start to end date): $1,124.04 million

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement): The Roadmap for Canada’s Official Languages 2013–18 (Roadmap 2013–18), allocated a budget of $1,124.04 million over five years, is a continuation of efforts deployed in the preceding Roadmap for Canada’s Linguistic Duality 2008–2013: Acting for the Future and continues to reflect commitments that stem from Part VII of the Official Languages Act. The Roadmap 2013–18 is a Government of Canada policy statement. It includes 28 initiatives intended to strengthen and promote linguistic duality which are implemented by 14 federal institutions. The initiatives are grouped according to three pillars: education, immigration and community support. Within the framework of the Roadmap 2013–18, the Government of Canada is especially committed that these initiatives are focused on achieving tangible results for Canadians and committed to implementation centered on the optimal use of public funds and increased effectiveness of program delivery Website: www.pch.gc.ca/eng/1358263602229/1358263791285

Shared outcomes: The architecture of the Roadmap 2013–18 is based on a Program Alignment Architecture (PAA) model. The strategic outcome for the Roadmap 2013–18 is: “Canadians live and thrive in both official languages and recognize the importance of French and English for Canada’s national identity, development and prosperity”. The Roadmap 2013–18 aligns with the federal commitments under Part VII of the Official Languages Act and is presented in three pillars that contribute to the achievement of the following objectives: • Education: Canadians benefit from education and training opportunities in their first official language and from learning the other official language of the country, and from access to technological tools, taking advantage of the many economic, cultural and national identity advantages resulting from these. • Immigration: Newcomers’ skills in one or both official languages are strengthened in order to allow them to more fully contribute to the needs of Canada’s economic, social and cultural development. The number of French-speaking immigrants settling in official language minority communities (OLMCs) is also increased. • Communities: The vitality of both official languages and the OLMCs that embody them is increased, enabling them to contribute fully to Canadian society, and to Canada’s history, national identity, development and prosperity. The architecture of the Roadmap 2013–18 is structured so that the results of each of the 28 initiatives of the Roadmap 2013–18 contribute to achieving the objectives of the three pillars and collectively, to the strategic outcome. Governance structure: The Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages is responsible for the coordination of the implementation of the Roadmap 2013–18. The Official Languages Branch (OLB) of Canadian Heritage supports the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages in this implementation and is responsible for the coordination of the accountability of the Roadmap 2013–18. The OLB especially gathers financial and non-financial information from the partners to present planning and reporting of the initiatives of the Roadmap 2013–18. The OLB will also support the overall governance of official languages through various mechanisms and committees: 13

• The Committee of Assistant Deputy Ministers on Official Languages (CADMOL) which meets in plenary session once in the fall to approve the planning and strategic direction for official Languages. • The executive sub-committee (EX-CADMOL) which meets on a quarterly basis to discuss and support strategic activities regarding official languages, including the implementation of the Roadmap 2013–18. • The committee of directors general (DG Forum) from Roadmap 2013–18 partner organizations and official languages coordination departments meets regularly to discuss strategic policy issues and government-wide strategies related specifically to the Roadmap 2013–18. In addition to these committees, other federal stakeholders and bodies hold key roles and responsibilities in the broader governance of official languages.

Performance highlights: The first year Roadmap 2013–18 was implemented was in 2013–14. The vast majority of initiatives were already implemented in priority official language areas such as education, immigration, health, youth, arts and culture, justice and economic development. Through the awarding of grants and contributions these initiatives aim to develop information strategies for Canadian citizens and new arrivals, increase the delivery of bilingual services in various priority areas for Canadians or implement agreements between the federal government and provincial or territorial governments. Various Roadmap 2013–18 governance committees meet on a regular basis to coordinate this horizontal initiative.

NRC was also retained by the United-States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in 2013–14 to carry out improvements to its machine translation technology as part of the DARPA Broad Operational Language Translation (BOLT) program. The “coarse models” technique developed mainly for BOLT is already yielding significant gains in quality for English to French machine translation, and will be incorporated in the next release of PORTAGE.

Sentiment Analysis Using Statistical Machine Translation and Text Analytics Recognized in International Competitions NRC's state-of-the-art sentiment analysis system has potential applications in commerce, health, military intelligence, and social development. Computer Understanding of Text in Multiple Languages A machine-learning text analytics component was developed and delivered to the EUREKA project (part of the European Union 7th Framework Programme), which brings together 17 European partners and NRC, and seeks to enable secure, scalable, and semantically consistent bidirectional linking of clinical trial research databases and patient record databases. The methods developed in the EUREKA project have the potential to benefit Canadians, as Canada’s health care systems and language characteristics are comparable to Europe. When semantic integration is achieved, data from a hospital or clinic recorded in one language can be used to support clinical researchers working in another language, and vice versa.

Notes: * When the Canadian Heritage’s 2013–14 Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) was in preparation, the Roadmap 2013–18 was being developed (official announcement on March 28, 2013). Consequently, no information on planned spending or expected results was provided.

** As part of Roadmap 2013–18, the Government of Canada, through CIC, will invest $29.4 million in the “Immigration to OLMCs” initiative. There is a minor variance of $100,000 between this amount and the CIC funding amount announced in the public Roadmap 2013–18 document published in March 2013. This change was made further to the budget review and will have no impact on CIC’s ability to provide its services to OLMCs as part of Roadmap 2013–18. The same support will be provided and the same expected results will be achieved.

The federal commitments, outlined in the 2015 Pan Parapan American Games Multiparty Agreement (MPA), signed in November 2009, include funding towards capital, legacies and the provision of essential federal services (EFS). The provision of EFS is considered a horizontal initiative within the larger federal investment in the Toronto 2015 Games. The EFS funding of $48.9 million is distributed across 13 federal organizationsi.

Shared outcome(s): The articulated, shared outcome of the horizontal component of the federal investment for the Toronto 2015 Games is that “Federal departments and agencies have fulfilled their MPA essential federal service commitments.” These service commitments support the overall staging of the Toronto 2015 Games and will ensure they are delivered in a safe and secure manner. In support of this outcome, federal services have been organized into four main service areas of activity: Weather Forecasting and Environmental Assessments; Emergency Preparedness; Security; and Border Security and Accreditation Support.

Governance structure(s): The Department of Canadian Heritage, through Sport Canada, has the responsibility to oversee and support the coordination of federal service delivery by ensuring integrated planning, performance, and risk management and reporting. A horizontal governance framework was developed by Canadian Heritage in collaboration with other federal departments and agencies receiving incremental funding to support horizontal efforts for coordination and accountability. The federal governance structure implemented for this investment is similar to the one used for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. Building on best practices and lessons learned during that undertaking, an Essential Federal Services Work Group (EFSWG) and an Assistant Deputy Minister Essential Federal Services Steering Committee (ADMEFSSC) have been established to support federal decision making, and performance and risk management for the delivery of EFS commitments. Additional working groups have and will continue to be created on an as-needed basis, generally in accordance with the service areas or key deliverables requiring interdepartmental/agency collaboration. A key related working group supporting EFS delivery is the Safety and Security Working Group (SSWG). The SSWG is co-chaired by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Public Safety Canada as the federal leads for security coordination and emergency preparedness/consequence management coordination, respectively. In addition to working closely across federal organizations, the co-chairs also work in close collaboration with the Integrated Security Unit led by the Ontario Provincial Police and with the Ontario Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management, who are responsible for security and emergency management planning and operations for the Toronto 2015 Games. While coordination is achieved at the SSWG and through the EFSWG and ADMEFSSC, the SSWG also uses the existing emergency management committee structure or other appropriate existing federal interdepartmental structures to facilitate interdepartmental planning and decisions related to the delivery of the EFS commitments made for the Toronto 2015 Games. Significant interdepartmental/agency and intergovernmental/stakeholder collaboration continues at the multi-stakeholder and Governmental Pan American and Parapan American Accreditation Working Groups, given the importance of accreditation to overall Games security. The Department of Canadian Heritage, through Sport Canada, continues to interface with the Toronto 2015 Games Organizing Committee (TO2015) and with other MPA parties on behalf of the Government of Canada through the MPA Executive Coordinating Committee, the Operations Coordinating Committee (CC1 and CC2 respectively) and to serve as an observer to the Board of Directors of TO2015. Federal organizations also interact with the province of Ontario and engaged municipalities through newly-developed or existing cooperation mechanisms and 26

intergovernmental agreements in order to facilitate intergovernmental collaboration and planning, as well as in collaboration with TO2015 and other stakeholders where required to ensure delivery of EFS and coordinate integrated operations across the different jurisdictions and service providers.

Performance highlights: Federal departments and agencies continue to work together and with the Ontario Provincial Police, the Ontario Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management, and TO2015 to develop their Games-time operational plans. In 2013–14, the province confirmed its request for federal assistance in accordance with federal service commitments made in the MPA further to the drafting of their Concept of Operations for the Toronto 2015 Games. In November 2013, stakeholders for Games-time operations and service delivery participated in an integrated exercise symposium, Youthful Spirit. The evaluation and the key findings from that Symposium has offered insights into operational requirements to successfully stage the Toronto 2015 Games, and operational plans will be further developed to address identified gaps and tested at the upcoming integrated exercises. The province also sought support for the integrated exercise design, development and delivery for the integrated tabletop exercise for the fall of 2014 and the functional exercise in spring of 2015 to test operational plans and procedures across the different service providers and jurisdictions.

Other performance highlights for 2013–14 include the establishment of the interdepartmental Federal Communicators Network, led by Communications Branch of the Department of Canadian Heritage. Key accomplishments included securing access to host country logos, and finalizing the non-commercial license agreement for federal marketing and promotion of the Toronto 2015 Games. 2013–14 also saw the establishment of the ADMEFSSC and the successful hosting of its first meeting in October 2013. In terms of MPA coordination, the Executive Coordinating Committee (CC1) referenced above, was established in May 2013, and in 2013–14 it confirmed the role and mandate of CC1 and began discussions about collaboration and approach to the Main Operations Centre to support Games delivery.

Environment Canada, through its Science and Technology Branch, has committed to the deployment of a high-resolution weather monitoring Mesonet across southern Ontario to inform the forecast and briefing service for the TO2015 Games. Planning for this Mesonet, with a total of 55 stations, was completed in 2013–14. The first of the compact stations have also been deployed. The Environment Canada Data Management Section has revamped the data management protocols from meteorological sensor to the archive, which permits the delivery of minutely updates from these Pan Am monitoring stations, an improvement on the present hourly standard. The new WatchKeeper Buoy was deployed near Toronto Island which uses a cell phone modem to report every ten minutes, against the national standard of once per hour. A Doppler LiDAR has been procured and successfully tested, a new technology for the Government of Canada. An unmanned aerial vehicle is in-house and being outfitted with instrumentation to monitor the lower atmosphere. The Ontario Storm Prediction Centre has commissioned twenty venue-specific forecast points in SCRIBE, its first guess weather forecast production tool. A formal agreement is in place with TO2015 for the provision of an Environment Canada bilingual weather briefing service from within the TO2015 Main Operations Centre. Planning was completed for the Environment Canada-led multi-organization table top exercise to test the Environment Canada business continuity plan and interaction with TO2015, and essential federal and provincial services during active weather situations. Environment Canada’s Pan American and Parapan American Projects office completed a detailed daily severe weather analysis and climatology for Southern Ontario, with a particular focus on the Pan Am Games venue locations. The climatology was well received by TO2015 and the sport federations who benefit directly from the service.

Comments on variances: Figures include EBP costs of 20% and PWGSC Accommodation costs of 13% where applicable. An actual variance of $353,707 exists between the total amount committed for the initiative ($48,872,761) and the allocation across the participating federal organizations ($48,519,054) to date. This $353,707 was retained for contingency purposes in the fiscal framework to ensure delivery of the essential federal services. This amount will be accessed in the future to offset funding pressures of participating organizations.

Actual expenditures reported above include only the actual proportionate share of EBP and PWGSC Accommodation costs where applicable. The variance between planned and actual accommodation costs incurred are considered as sunk cost lapses as they are provided directly to PWGSC based on the planned salary estimates. The sunk cost lapses for 2013–14 include, in real dollars: $6,152 for Citizenship and Immigration, $66,902 for Transport, $ 1,564 for Canada Border Services Agency and $11,206 for Health Canada, for a total of $85,824.

i 13 federal organisations are represented in the fiscal framework by 11 departments and agencies: the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority is represented through Transport Canada and Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre is represented through the Canadian Security Intelligence Service ii Canada Border Services Agency carried forward a total of $453,515 from its total funding in 2013–14 to use in 2014-2015. The results related to that funding will be reported in the 2014-2015 Departmental Performance Report. iii The Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre is a separate federal organization that has received funding for services for the Toronto 2015 Games through the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. iv Citizenship and Immigration transferred a total of $374,286 in 2013–14 to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, as a result, the original total allocation of $6,618,742 in ‘Migration Control and Security Management’ has been reduced to $6,244,456. This new adjusted total allocation is reflected in the table above.

v The total amount in the ‘Total Allocation (from Start to End Date)’ column was reported in the Toronto 2015 Games – Essential Federal Services Horizontal Initiatives Table of the Department of Canadian Heritage 2013–14 Report on Plans and Priorities as 725. The correct figure for this item should have been 589. The correct amount is reflected in the table above. vi The amount in ‘Planned Spending 2013–14’ column was reported in the Toronto 2015 Games – Essential Federal Services Horizontal Initiatives Table of the Department of Canadian Heritage 2013–14 Report on Plans and Priorities as 141. The correct figure for this item should have been 97,515. The correct amount is reflected in the table above. vii The Canadian Coast Guard re-aligned all Toronto 2015 Games operational activities under ‘Fleet Operational Readiness’ rather than ‘Maritime Security’ where the funds were initially accessed. Accordingly, that funding has been transferred to align with program activities. viii The Public Health Agency of Canada changed its Program Alignment Architecture in 2013–14. The activities and funding that were formally aligned with the ‘Public Health Preparedness and Capacity’ program are now aligned with the ‘Health Security’ program. ix The amount in the ‘Total Allocation (from Start to End Date)’ column was reported in the Toronto 2015 Games – Essential Federal Services Horizontal Initiatives Table of the Department of Canadian Heritage 2013– 14 Report on Plans and Priorities as 273. The correct figure for this item should have been 283. The correct amount is reflected in the table above and the overall ‘Total’ has been adjusted accordingly. x Public Safety Canada changed its Program Alignment Architecture which resulted in the change in the Program name from “Combatting Crime” to “Countering Crime”, the new name is reflected in the table above. xi The Royal Canadian Mounted Police received a transfer of funds from Citizenship and Immigration ($374,286) and Transport ($439,314) which totalled $813,600 in 2013–14. $271,600 was retained for activities in 2013–14 and $271,200 was re-profiled to both 2014-2015 and to 2015-2016. xii The RCMP overspent their planned spending by $88,793 due to a non-initiated cost recovery from the Other Police Departments (OPS) which was absorbed internally by the RCMP. The RCMP provided services to OPD in reference to security background checks and the use of the RCMP Event Management System and SAMS technology. xiii Transport changed its Program Alignment Architecture in 2012-2013, this resulted in the creation of the “Multimodal Safety and Security” (MSS) Program Area. For the purposes of this initiative, MSS includes coordination activities by the Special Event Secretariat. These coordination activities were previously coded against the other Programs but since MSS is new and was not included in the original allocation, funds are transferred internally to align with program activities. In 2013–14, Transport re-aligned the original total allocation of funding for the different program areas in accordance with planned activities and deliverables related to this initiative. The revised allocation of Transport’s funding appears in the table above and represents the full allocation of funding originally secured net of any interdepartmental transfers undertaken to date. xiv Transport Canada carried forward a total of $1,204,249 from its total funding in 2013–14 to use in 2014-2015. The results related to that funding will be reported in the 2014-2015 Departmental Performance Report. xv Transport transferred a total of $439,314 in 2013–14 to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police from the Aviation Security Program Area. Therefore the original allocation for ‘Aviation Security’ of $2,656,391 was reduced to $2,217,077. Subsequently, Transport re-aligned the original total allocation of funding for the different program areas in accordance with planned activities and deliverables related to this initiative. The revised allocation of Transport’s funding appears in the table above and represents the full allocation of funding originally secured net of any interdepartmental transfers undertaken to date. xvi Activities in this area were formerly captured under Internal Services PA
