National Defence

National Defence

Raison d’être On behalf of the people of Canada, the Canadian Forces (CF) and the Department of National Defence (DND) stand ready to perform three key roles:

The National Defence Act establishes DND and the CF as separate entities, operating within an integrated National Defence Headquarters, as they pursue their primary responsibility of providing defence for Canada and Canadians. Defence continues to adapt to an evolving strategic global security environment and is prepared to meet emerging non-traditional challenges such as piracy attacks, as well as traditional ones, including global terrorism, weapons proliferation and the enduring threat occupy the international agenda and challenge Canada’s security and prosperity. Highlights The National Defence is estimating budgetary expenditures of $19.8 billion in 2012–13. Of this amount, $18.4 billion requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $1.4 billion represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for information purposes. National Defence’s decrease in net authority of $1,494.2 million or 7% is due to a decrease in operating costs of $957.1 million, a decrease in capital costs of $560.0 million, and an increase in grants, contributions and other transfer payments of $22.9 million. Major factors contributing to the net decrease include:

Establishment Internal Services Unit as a stand-alone agency; Canada portfolio to streamline and reduce duplication in the government’s IT services; and

These decreases are offset by the following increase: predictable funding.

National Defence

Raison d’être The raison d'être of the Canadian Forces Grievance Board is to provide an independent and external review of military grievances. Section 29 of the National Defence Act who has been aggrieved, to grieve a decision, an act or an omission in the administration of the affairs of the Canadian Forces (CF). The importance of this broad right cannot be overstated since it is, with certain narrow exceptions, the only formal complaint process available to CF members. Highlights The Canadian Forces Grievance Board is estimating budgetary expenditures of $6.7 million in 2012–13. Of this amount, $6.1 million requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $610.0 thousand represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for information purposes. The Canadian Forces Grievance Board’s expenditures remain approximately the same as the previous year. For your information, details on our priorities will be made available in our 2012–13 Report on Plans and Priorities.

Raison d’être In December 2001, the government passed omnibus bill C-36 into law as the Anti-terrorism Act. The new act amended portions of the National Defence Ac (CSEC) three-part mandate: in accordance with Government of Canada intelligence priorities; infrastructures of importance to the Government of Canada; and their lawful duties. The Anti-Terrorism Act also strengthened CSEC's capacity to engage in the war on terrorism by providing needed authorities Highlights The Communications Security Establishment Canada is estimating budgetary expenditures of $387.0 million in 2012–13. Of this amount, $356.3 million requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $30.7 million represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for information purposes. The Communications Security Establishment Canada’s planned expenditures will continue to assure that Canada’s defence, security and international affairs are strengthened, and that technical assistance to federal law enforcement, defence and security agencies is supported. These results will be achieved by two primary means: through providing foreign signals intelligence and technical security capabilities that advance and protect Canada’s vital interests; and by assuring that the Government of Canada has access to products, services, situational awareness, and assistance that help protect its information and information systems of importance. In doing so, CSEC will pursue its strategic plan with a view to:

Military Police Complaints Commission

Raison d’être On behalf of all Canadians, the Military Police Complaints Commission exists to provide greater public accountability by the military police and the chain of command in relation to military police activities. The Commission derives its mandate from Part IV of Canada's National Defence Act. Highlights The Military Police Complaints Commission is estimating budgetary expenditures of $4.6 million in 2012–13. Of this amount, $4.3 million requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $302.4 thousand represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for information purposes.
