By working with our longstanding international partners, Global Affairs Canada protects and promotes these goals and advocates for the prosperity, security, and interests of Canadians. Today’s global challenges, including climate change, threats to rules-based trade, mass migration and the difficulties facing the middle class require global solutions. At the same time, more and more countries are questioning the value of the rules-based international order. Through our foreign policy, Canada will continue to work to support multilateralism and ensure that multilateral institutions address today’s realities. To ensure the interests of Canadians are heard on the world stage, we will advocate for reform and modernization in important international institutions such as the United Nations, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the World Trade Organization, the Commonwealth and the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Our government remains committed to making these multilateral organizations more inclusive and diverse. Furthermore, through our feminist foreign policy, we will always promote inclusion and fairness, further the rights of women and girls, and ensure that a gender lens is applied to all that we do, because we know this is the only way to ensure an effective foreign policy. Global Affairs Canada 1 2020–21 Departmental Plan We’re also continuing to take steps to ensure we provide the best consular support possible to Canadians who need our help abroad. Canada’s commitment to the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals is the foundation for prosperity and peace for Canadians today and for generations to come. We want everyone, including women entrepreneurs, newcomers to Canada, young people, and Indigenous business owners to benefit from exporting our goods and services into global markets. To help Canadian business owners, entrepreneurs, farmers, and producers thrive, we are increasing access to global markets through free and fair trade agreements. We’re also enhancing the Trade Commissioner Service — our global sales force to the world — and created the first- ever Women Entrepreneurship Strategy. We know that no economy can perform at its best if half of the population is held back. That is why our government is empowering women and girls in Canada, as well as in developing countries through our Feminist International Assistance Policy. We have put that policy into action, developing gender responsive humanitarian assistance, and providing support for women and children around the world to access quality education and healthcare, and advocate for their fundamental rights. Together, we will continue to help build strong and stable economies, and peaceful societies around the world. 2 From the Ministers 2020–21 Departmental Plan Plans at a glance Global Affairs Canada will deliver results in support of the Government of Canada’s commitment to preserve and support Canadian prosperity and security in an increasingly uncertain and volatile world. Through a principled and pragmatic approach that promotes Canada’s interests, the department will ensure that advancing gender equality, fostering democracy, promoting and protecting human rights, encouraging respect for international law, and supporting environmental protection are at the centre of our feminist foreign policy. As it represents Canada in the world, the department will contribute to the safety and security of Canadians through timely and appropriate consular services. Global Affairs Canada will remain a strong voice for an inclusive and effective rules-based international order and the multilateral system that underpins it, collaborating with a diverse range of new and traditional partners in this regard. The department will support actions to reduce poverty, gender inequality and fragility in developing countries, and respond in a timely manner to humanitarian crises. Moreover, it will advance Canadian prosperity, including by working together with our trading partners abroad, and at home with Provinces, Territories and Indigenous communities to leverage Canadian expertise, and, keep our economy strong and growing. In all its efforts, the department will aim to reinforce progress on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.i We will achieve results for Canadians in a manner that is open, inclusive and transparent, exemplifying the best qualities of the public service. Our staff will innovate in finding solutions to pressing global challenges, and will engage with Canadians, civil society and other stakeholders, including businesses of all sizes, organized labour, research institutions and not- for-profits. We will work diligently to help positively shape the evolving global system to Canada’s advantage. To support this work in 2020-21, the department will focus on four priorities: 1. Contributing to a Rules-Based International System that advances Canadian interests Fostering a rules-based international system that is effective and that supports Canadian interests is an overarching objective of Canadian foreign policy. As such, Global Affairs Canada will build new and innovative partnerships, continue to engage constructively with existing partners, and work multilaterally to protect, renew and adapt existing rules, norms, institutions and alliances to make the world safer, more just, prosperous, and sustainable. These efforts will include promoting our interests and sovereignty in the Canadian Arctic, and working in concert with our partners to uphold international law. Global Affairs Canada 3 2020–21 Departmental Plan Global Affairs Canada will work bilaterally and multilaterally to drive positive change in areas such as promotion of democracy and human rights, the fight against climate change, support for environmental protection, and the pursuit of rules-based trade. It will work hard so that Canada’s voice and ideas are present when it matters, including by chairing the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission, by engaging in new forums like the Alliance for Multilateralism, and by seeking a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council in 2021–22. The department will make positive contributions to international peace and security through Canadian commitments to NATO and UN peacekeeping; advancing the Women, Peace and Security Agenda; work with diverse partners to address

  • The Role of Deputy Ministers in Canadian Government
    10 The Role of Deputy Ministers in Canadian Government Chapter Summary The role of the deputy minister (DM) is the main interchange between the political head of a department, the minister, and the public servants of the department. In an advisory capacity to the minister, the deputy minister serves primarily as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a department. The deputy minister is not subject to the merit system of the Public Service of Canada (PSC) but must follow most provisions as outlined in the Public Service Employment Act. A deputy minister’s position can be made through a discretionary appointment, by designation or selection, or through an appointment process by the Governor-in Council on the advice and recommendation of the prime minister. The powers of the deputy minister are not specified in any specific statute, except for several regulatory departments such as Revenue, Consumer Affairs, Justice, and Immigration. A DM is considered the manager of all of the financial and human resources of a department as well as serving as an accounting officer. In addition, the deputy minister implements the appropriate statutes for a department and can contribute to the drafting of rules and regulations and undertake related policy-making decisions. The accountability of a deputy minister can be both challenging and difficult to understand. The DM is answerable to many different people within the political process. For example, a DM is responsible to parliament and its committees for the work of his or her ministry and ultimately to the PM, who made the recommendation to have them serve as DM for a specific department.

Today, the Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion and International Trade, during a call with Elizabeth Truss, the United Kingdom’s Secretary of State for International Trade, announced that Canada is ratifying the Canada-United Kingdom (U.K.) Trade Continuity Agreement (TCA). This announcement follows the Royal Assent of Bill C-18: An Act to implement the Agreement on Trade Continuity between Canada and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the House of Commons. The Canada-U.K. TCA will provide Canadian exporters and businesses with continued preferential access to the U.K. market and 98% of Canadian products will continue to be exported to the UK tariff-free. The agreement provides much needed predictability and stability, and will support workers and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic. Canada and the U.K. are taking all necessary steps required to implement this agreement for April 1, 2021. As the Canada-U.K. TCA is meant to be an interim measure, Canada and the U.K. look forward to engaging in future negotiations on a new, high-standard and ambitious free trade agreement that will best reflect the bilateral relationship and trade priorities.

  • 5. the Responsibilities and Accountabilities of Deputy Ministers
    5 CHAPTER FIVE THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES OF DEPUTY MINISTERS This chapter examines the responsibilities and accountabilities of the most senior public servants, the Deputy Ministers. Deputy Ministers are the managers of the departments of government. Under their Ministers, they direct the administration of financial and human resources.They advise the Minister on policy issues and on reforms to administration.Together they form a community that must work as a team to coordinate and direct the work of government. Most policy initiatives cross-cut several departments and demand coordination of policy-making in several departments.Deputy Ministers have extensive management and other responsibilities. As the managers of departments, Deputy Ministers are responsible for the work and actions of the public servants under them. It is their job 83 84 RESTORING ACCOUNTABILITY:RECOMMENDATIONS to ensure that departmental administration meets established standards. Not only their Ministers but Parliament as well must be assured that Deputy Ministers fulfill their responsibilities as departmental managers. The Statutory Responsibilities of Deputy Ministers The statutory responsibilities of Deputy Ministers originate from two different sources.First are their responsibilities under the Interpretation Act1 and other departmental acts which permit Deputy Ministers to act in the name of Ministers for all powers possessed by Ministers, except the power to make regulations. There is no question that, for the exercise of these powers, Deputy Ministers act under the authority delegated by their particular Minister, and they are ultimately accountable to those Ministers for the use of these powers. Ministers are,in turn,accountable to Parliament for what was done,whether the Minister or the Deputy Minister actually made the decision.

  • Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement Economic Impact Assessment December 9, 2020
    Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement Economic Impact Assessment December 9, 2020 Summary The Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement (CANADA-UK TCA) replicates the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) on a bilateral basis. The CANADA-UK TCA, therefore, is meant to maintain the status quo in the Canada-U.K. trade relationship. In order to examine the impact of the CANADA-UK TCA, we must analyze the potential economic impact of a situation where no CANADA-UK TCA is in place and the U.K. is no longer part of the CETA. The United Kingdom officially left the European Union (EU) on January 31, 2020, and CETA will cease to apply to Canada–U.K. trade on January 1, 2021. To avoid a gap in preferential trade access into each other’s markets, Canada and the United Kingdom negotiated a trade continuity agreement - the CANADA- UK TCA - that provides Canadian exporters, services providers, and farmers with continued preferential access to the U.K. market carried over from CETA. CETA removed 98% of tariffs on Canadian goods and over time will remove approximately 99% of tariffs, in addition to the other CETA benefits including improved access for services, greater certainty and transparency, protection for investments and intellectual property. In the absence of CANADA-UK TCA, bilateral trade between the two countries would be governed by the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules alone, and goods trade between the United Kingdom and Canada would be subject to WTO most-favoured nation (MFN) duties. In May 2020, the United Kingdom announced the applied MFN tariffs, which it refers to as the UK Global Tariff (UKGT), that would take effect on January 1, 2021.
