2014-15 Estimates

Part III – Departmental Expenditure Plans: Reports on Plans and Priorities

Purpose

Reports on Plans and Priorities (RPP) are individual expenditure plans for each department and agency. These reports provide increased levels of detail over a three-year period on an organization's main priorities by strategic outcome, program and planned/expected results, including links to related resource requirements presented in the Main Estimates. In conjunction with the Main Estimates, Reports on Plans and Priorities serve to inform members of Parliament on planned expenditures of departments and agencies, and support Parliament's consideration of supply bills. The RPPs are typically tabled soon after the Main Estimates by the President of the Treasury Board.

Estimates Documents

The Estimates are comprised of three parts:

Part I – Government Expenditure Plan – provides an overview of the Government's requirements and changes in estimated expenditures from previous fiscal years.

Part II – Main Estimates – supports the appropriation acts with detailed information on the estimated spending and authorities being sought by each federal organization requesting appropriations.

In accordance with Standing Orders of the House of Commons, Parts I and II must be tabled on or before March 1.

Part III – Departmental Expenditure Plans – consists of two components:

  • Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP)
  • Departmental Performance Report (DPR)

DPRs are individual department and agency accounts of results achieved against planned performance expectations as set out in respective RPPs.

The DPRs for the most recently completed fiscal year are tabled in the fall by the President of the Treasury Board.

Supplementary Estimates support Appropriation Acts presented later in the fiscal year. Supplementary Estimates present information on spending requirements that were either not sufficiently developed in time for inclusion in the Main Estimates or have subsequently been refined to account for developments in particular programs and services. Supplementary Estimates also provide information on changes to expenditure forecasts of major statutory items as well as on such items as: transfers of funds between votes; debt deletion; loan guarantees; and new or increased grants.

For more information on the Estimates, please consult the Treasury Board Secretariat Web site. Footnote i

Links to the Estimates

As shown above, RPPs make up part of the Part III of the Estimates documents. Whereas Part II emphasizes the financial aspect of the Estimates, Part III focuses on financial and non-financial performance information, both from a planning and priorities standpoint (RPP), and an achievements and results perspective (DPR).

The Management Resources and Results Structure (MRRS) establishes a structure for display of financial information in the Estimates and reporting to Parliament via RPPs and DPRs. When displaying planned spending, RPPs rely on the Estimates as a basic source of financial information.

Main Estimates expenditure figures are based on the Annual Reference Level Update which is prepared in the fall. In comparison, planned spending found in RPPs includes the Estimates as well as any other amounts that have been approved through a Treasury Board submission up to February 1 (see Definitions section). This readjusting of the financial figures allows for a more up-to-date portrait of planned spending by program.

Changes to the presentation of the Report on Plans and Priorities

Several changes have been made to the presentation of the RPP partially to respond to a number of requests – from the House of Commons Standing Committees on Public Accounts (PAC – Report 15 Footnote ii, in 2010; and on Government and Operations Estimates (OGGO – Report 7 Footnote iii, in 2012 – to provide more detailed financial and non-financial performance information about programs within RPPs and DPRs, thus improving the ease of their study to support appropriations approval.

  • In Section II, financial, human resources and performance information is now presented at the program and sub-program levels for more granularity.
  • The report's general format and terminology have been reviewed for clarity and consistency purposes.
  • Other efforts aimed at making the report more intuitive and focused on Estimates information were made to strengthen alignment with the Main Estimates.

How to read this document

RPPs are divided into four sections:

Section I: Organizational Expenditure Overview

This Organizational Expenditure Overview allows the reader to get a general glance at the organization. It provides a description of the organization's purpose, as well as basic financial and human resources information. This section opens with the new Organizational Profile, which displays general information about the department, including the names of the minister and the deputy head, the ministerial portfolio, the year the department was established, and the main legislative authorities. This subsection is followed by a new subsection entitled Organizational Context, which includes the Raison d'être, the Responsibilities, the Strategic Outcomes and Program Alignment Architecture, the Organizational Priorities and the Risk Analysis. This section ends with the Planned Expenditures, the Alignment to Government of Canada Outcomes, the Estimates by Votes and the Contribution to the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy. It should be noted that this section does not display any non-financial performance information related to programs (please see Section II).

Section II: Analysis of Program(s) by Strategic Outcome(s)

This Section provides detailed financial and non-financial performance information for strategic outcomes, programs and sub-programs. This section allows the reader to learn more about programs by reading their respective description and narrative entitled "Planning Highlights." This narrative speaks to key services or initiatives which support the plans and priorities presented in Section I; it also describes how performance information supports the department's strategic outcome or parent program.

Section III: Supplementary Information

This section provides supporting information related to departmental plans and priorities. In this section, the reader will find future-oriented statement of operations and a link to supplementary information tables regarding transfer payments, as well as information related to the greening government operations, internal audits and evaluations, horizontal initiatives, user fees, major crown and transformational projects, and up-front multi-year funding, where applicable to individual organizations. The reader will also find a link to the Tax Expenditures and Evaluations publication, produced annually by the Minister of Finance, which provides estimates and projections of the revenue impacts of federal tax measures designed to support the economic and social priorities of the Government of Canada.

Section IV: Organizational Contact Information

In this last section, the reader will have access to organizational contact information.

Definitions

Appropriation
Any authority of Parliament to pay money out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund.

Budgetary Vs.Non-budgetary Expenditures
Budgetary expenditures – operating and capital expenditures; transfer payments to other levels of government, organizations or individuals; and payments to crown corporations. Non-budgetary expenditures – net outlays and receipts related to loans, investments and advances, which change the composition of the financial assets of the Government of Canada.

Expected Result
An outcome that a program is designed to achieve.

Full-Time Equivalent (FTE)

Organizational Profile

Minister: Tony Clement

Deputy head: Linda Lizotte-MacPherson

Ministerial portfolio: Treasury Board

Year established: 2004

Main legislative authorities: Canada School of Public Service Act, S.C. 1991, c. 16

Organizational Context

Raison d'être

The Canada School of Public Service (the School) is the common learning service provider for the Public Service of Canada. The School has a legislative mandate to provide a range of learning activities to build individual and organizational capacity and management excellence within the public service.

The School has one strategic goal: to ensure that public servants have the common knowledge and leadership and management competencies required to effectively serve Canada and Canadians.

Responsibilities

Established on April 1, 2004, under the Public Service Modernization Act Endnote v and operating under the authority of the Canada School of Public Service Act Endnotevi (CSPS Act), the School's primary responsibility is to provide a wide range of learning opportunities and develop a learning culture within the public service. The School has a direct effect on service to Canadians by contributing to the skills development of public service employees and the effectiveness of public service organizations.

The School, a departmental corporation, is mandated under the CSPS Act to

  • encourage pride and excellence in the public service;
  • foster a common sense of purpose, values and traditions in the public service;
  • support deputy heads in meeting the learning needs of their organizations; and
  • pursue excellence in public management and administration.

The School's program priorities are geared to delivering results in accordance with the Treasury Board's Policy on Learning, Training and Development, Endnotevii which came into effect on January 1, 2006. This policy highlights the value of learning, with particular emphasis on required training and the importance of creating a learning culture within the public service.

The School supports deputy head accountabilities with respect to leadership and professional development across the public service by identifying organizational needs and designing and delivering high-quality, practical programs that address the key development requirements of public service employees.

The School is a common service organization under the Treasury Board's Common Services Policy, Endnoteviii and its curriculum is designed to support public service accountabilities and leadership competencies and respond to government priorities. As an optional service provider, the School responds to the needs of the public service in the most efficient and effective manner possible.

The School's direction and planning is informed by a committee of deputy ministers appointed by the Clerk of the Privy Council. Established in 2012-13, the Canada School of Public Service Advisory Committee Endnoteix provides a forum for ongoing consultation, collaboration and discussion of the School's strategic agenda and emerging public service-wide learning priorities.

Risk Analysis

Key Risks
Risk Analysis: Key Risks. The table is divided into three columns, which are, from left to right: Risk, Risk Response Strategy and Link to Program Alignment Architecture.
Risk Risk Response Strategy Link to Program Alignment Architecture
Relevance of the Curriculum and Delivery of Products and Services – Risk that the School's curriculum offerings will not be relevant and align with government priorities and clients' needs and expectations for content and/or delivery. The School is undertaking a comprehensive Strategic Directions exercise to establish a long-term business model that includes alignment of curriculum with government priorities and meeting clients' expectations for improved accessibility to learning products. Strategic Outcome:
Public servants have the common knowledge and the leadership and management competencies they require to fulfil their responsibilities in serving Canadians.

Programs:
Foundational Learning

Organizational Leadership Development

Public Sector Management Innovation
Market Share and Revenue Generation – Risk that the School's market share and revenue generation will not be sufficient to sustain the School's operations and/or future development of products and services. The School will improve client engagement and outreach through active participation in departmental learning forums, streamlined business processes and targeted and timely learning notifications through e-mails, e-newsletter, social media and event marketing. Strategic Outcome:
Public servants have the common knowledge and the leadership and management competencies they require to fulfil their responsibilities in serving Canadians.

Programs:
Foundational Learning

Organizational Leadership Development

Public Sector Management Innovation
Information Management and Technology – Risk that the School will not have the required technology to deliver its products and services. The School is developing a strategy for the design and implementation of an e-School, improved communications with learners through social media tools and information technology ever-greening. Strategic Outcome:
Public servants have the common knowledge and the leadership and management competencies they require to fulfil their responsibilities in serving Canadians.

Programs:
Foundational Learning

Organizational Leadership Development

Public Sector Management Innovation

Internal Services

The School updates its environmental scan annually to inform decision making and to establish a foundation for the School's priorities. Ongoing fiscal restraint affects the School through direct reductions in appropriated funding, a reduced number of learners and smaller available departmental training budgets. In this environment, client departments are seeking greater value for their limited training dollars, and learners expect better access to online courses. To effectively manage risks associated with these environmental factors, the School has undertaken a comprehensive Strategic Directions exercise. The expected result is that the School will be in a better position to plan and invest in its curriculum and delivery methods to remain relevant and aligned with government priorities and meet clients' expectations.

The School operates in a competitive training environment. Market share and sufficient revenue generation are critical success factors to sustain the School's operations and the future development of products and services. The School is placing greater focus on articulating and promoting the value of its curriculum and services that demonstrate clear value to the public service. It is also implementing a strategic marketing approach to improve engagement and relationship building at all levels with client organizations.

The evolution of new technology, combined with client expectations of increased access to learning materials online and through mobile devices, presents both opportunities and risks. In collaboration with Shared Services Canada, the School will work to improve and make better use of its information technology infrastructure and learning methods to enrich its online courses and improve access.

Section III: Supplementary Information

Future-Oriented Statement of Operations

The future-oriented condensed statement of operations presented in this subsection is intended to serve as a general overview of the School's operations. The forecasted financial information on expenses and revenues are prepared on an accrual accounting basis to strengthen accountability and to improve transparency and financial management.

Because the future-oriented statement of operations is prepared on an accrual accounting basis and the forecast and planned spending amounts presented in other sections of this report are prepared on an expenditure basis, amounts will differ.

A more detailed future-oriented statement of operations and associated notes, including a reconciliation of the net costs of operations to the requested authorities, can be found on the School's Web siteSchool's Website Link 1. Note de bas de page xiv

Future-Oriented Condensed Statement of Operations
For the Year Ended March 31 (dollars)

Future-Oriented Condensed Statement of Operations for the Year Ended March 31. The first column contains the types of financial information and is divided into three rows containing Total Expenses, Total Revenues and Net Cost of Operations. Select one of the three rows and read to the right for the estimated results for 2013-14, planned results for 2014-15 and the change between them.
Financial information Estimated
Results 2013-14
Planned
Results 2014-15
Change
Total expenses 110,350,856 105,092,971 5,257,885
Total revenues 41,500,000 40,000,000 1,500,000
Net cost of operations 68,850,856 65,092,971 3,757,885

The decrease in expenditures from 2013-14 to 2014-15 is mainly due to the end of immediate cash-out of accumulated severance benefits. The decline in revenue from 2013-14 to 2014-15 is attributable to the end of direct delivery of language training. The positive impact of declining expenditures is a net reduction of the cost of operations from 2013-14 to 2014-15.
