National Defence Performance Report ESTIMATES For the period ending March 31, 2000 Improved Reporting to Parliament Pilot Document The Estimates of the Government of Canada are structured in several parts. Beginning with an overview of total government spending in Part I, the documents become increasingly more specific. Part II outlines spending according to departments, agencies and programs and contains the proposed wording of the conditions governing spending which Parliament will be asked to approve. The Report on Plans and Priorities provides additional detail on each department and its programs primarily in terms of more strategically oriented planning and results information with a focus on outcomes. The Departmental Performance Report provides a focus on results-based accountability by reporting on accomplishments achieved against the performance expectations and results commitments as set out in the spring Report on Plans and Priorities. ©Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada — 2000 Available in Canada through your local bookseller or by mail from Canadian Government Publishing — PWGSC Ottawa, Canada K1A 0S9 Catalogue No. BT31-4/50-2000 ISBN 0-660-61392-1 Foreword On April 24, 1997, the House of Commons passed a motion dividing on a pilot basis the Part III of the Estimates document for each department or agency into two separate documents: a Report on Plans and Priorities tabled in the spring and a Departmental Performance Report tabled in the fall. This initiative is intended to fulfil the government’s commitments to improve the expenditure management information provided to Parliament. This involves sharpening the focus on results, increasing the transparency of information and modernizing its preparation. The Fall Performance Package is comprised of 83 Departmental Performance Reports and the President’s annual report, Managing for Results 2000. This Departmental Performance Report, covering the period ending March 31, 2000 provides a focus on results-based accountability by reporting on accomplishments achieved against the performance expectations and results commitments as set out in the department’s Report on Plans and Priorities for 1999-00 tabled in Parliament in the spring of 1999. Results-based management emphasizes specifying expected program results, developing meaningful indicators to demonstrate performance, perfecting the capacity to generate information and reporting on achievements in a balanced manner. Accounting and managing for results involve sustained work across government. The government continues to refine its management systems and performance framework. The refinement comes from acquired experience as users make their information needs more precisely known. The performance reports and their use will continue to be monitored to make sure that they respond to Parliament’s ongoing and evolving needs.

As in years past, this report allows me to highlight some of the achievements that demonstrate the dedication and professionalism of the Defence team. These men and women – both military and civilian, Regular Force and Reserves – have made significant contributions to the safety, security and well-being of Canadians, and to the peace and stability of the global community. Indeed, while sustaining a high tempo of operations over the past few years, the men and women of the Canadian Forces have consistently met, and often exceeded, expectations. During the past year, our troops played an important role in ending the humanitarian crisis and restoring peace in Kosovo. Alongside our NATO allies, the Canadian Forces flew more than 675 combat missions and achieved a commendable level of success. With the end of the air campaign, more than 1,400 Canadian Forces personnel were deployed to the region to assist in creating a safe environment that would permit the return of the Kosovar refugees. Our commitment to international peace and the human security agenda was again demonstrated with the deployment of Canadian Forces personnel to East Timor. As part of the Australian-led multinational peacekeeping force, our troops helped to restore peace and order following violence precipitated by a vote to secede from Indonesia. In addition to supporting peace operations in Bosnia-Herzegovina, providing humanitarian assistance after the earthquake in Turkey, and contributing to de-mining efforts in Cambodia and Mozambique, the Canadian Forces also made a difference at home. The most significant domestic operation centred on the transition to the Year 2000. Although the millennium transition was virtually incident-free, the Canadian Forces were thoroughly prepared to assist Canadians if they had been called upon. The Canadian Forces also provided support to more than 8,700 search and rescue operations, in co-operation with the Canadian Coast Guard, and assisted Citizenship and Immigration in dealing with the arrival of four smuggling vessels – which were carrying upwards of 600 illegal migrants – off the West Coast of Canada. As an important national institution, Defence also contributed to national priorities such as research and development, economic growth, and youth training and employment. Indeed, with the Reserves and our Cadets and Junior Canadian Rangers programs, Defence is one of the largest employers of Canada’s youth. i Department of National Defence 1999-2000 Departmental Performance Report While ensuring Defence continues to meet its commitments at home and abroad, we have also made significant progress in preparing the Department and the Canadian Forces for the challenges of the future. With the support of the Government, two consecutive years of funding increases, and a real commitment to reform and change, Defence has overcome considerable challenges in recent years and is now building on a stronger foundation for the future. Defence has implemented more than 300 institutional reforms in the past few years. While more needs to be done, Defence has made significant progress in strengthening leadership at all levels, improving education and training standards, modernizing the military justice system, and enhancing openness, transparency and accountability. Significant strides have also been made in implementing the recommendations of Parliament’s Standing Committee on National Defence and Veterans Affairs to improve the quality of life of Canadian Forces members and their families. Defence has increased salaries for Canadian Forces personnel, improved accommodations, enhanced support to injured and retired members and their families, and is moving forward to improve the quality and effectiveness of its medical services. Moreover, with the acquisition of our Coyote reconnaissance vehicles, LAV III armoured personnel carriers, Cormorant search and rescue helicopters, and Victoria class submarines, we have taken action to ensure the long-term effectiveness and relevance of the Canadian Forces. In many ways the Canadian Forces are more combat-capable today than they were ten years ago. Like other Canadian institutions and other areas of government, however, Defence continues to face significant challenges. The world is changing. Threats to international peace, stability and human security are more complex and unpredictable. While the threat of global war has decreased, regional ethnic and intra-state conflict has increased. In addition, modern military operations are becoming more demanding and the proliferation of high-end conventional weapons is making many

  • Title of Thesis: ABSTRACT CLASSIFYING BIAS
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CLASSIFYING BIAS IN LARGE MULTILINGUAL CORPORA VIA CROWDSOURCING AND TOPIC MODELING Team BIASES: Brianna Caljean, Katherine Calvert, Ashley Chang, Elliot Frank, Rosana Garay Jáuregui, Geoffrey Palo, Ryan Rinker, Gareth Weakly, Nicolette Wolfrey, William Zhang Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Zajic, Ph.D. Our project extends previous algorithmic approaches to finding bias in large text corpora. We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.

  • The History of the Garrison Curling Club It Began with a Building That
    The History of the Garrison Curling Club It began with a building that needed a home. Then, as a new club,it served as recreation for army personnel and some non-military members, later survived a disastrous fire and endured a perilous transition tocivilian control that left it homeless for a while. But it always preserved its reputation as the friendliest curling club in town. It’s the Garrison Curling Club, now a solid fixture in southwest Calgary thanks to all the volunteers and paid staff who never lost their focus while steering their organization through good times and bad, through unity and occasional disharmony. Club manager Wayne McAdam, who joined as a junior curler in 1968, said, “It’s the social aspect that’s always brought people here.That hasn’t changed. People like to have a drink after they’ve played, and in some of the leagues the winners buy for the losers. That’s gone away in most of the bigger curling clubs in Calgary.” Numerous old-timers at the Garrison concurred with that sentiment during research for this story,and plenty of sharp memories contributed to the story. Written records helped as well. However, the club’s earliest years are a bit murky. QUONSET HUT The story begins, naturally, with the military. International tensions during the Cold War led to construction, starting in 1952, of a Royal Canadian Air Force base at Cold Lake in northern Alberta as the country’s main air weapons training centre. By 1954, personnel had settled in. But by the end of the decade, at least one building was considered surplus.
