2017-2018 Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development (CESD)
2017 Fall Reports - Report 2: Adapting to the Impacts of Climate Change
This audit focused on the extent to which federal organizations had made progress in adapting to climate change. It examined federal leadership efforts and whether departments and agencies implemented the Federal Adaptation Policy Framework.
It also examined progress by determining whether 19 key departments and agencies identified and assessed climate change risks and took measures to adapt to climate change in their areas of responsibility.
There was one recommendation including Infrastructure Canada. Infrastructure Canada's response to the audit can be found on the Office of Auditor General of Canada Website. The recommendation, as well as the departmental response from October 2017, is summarized as follows:
Recommendation 2.74
The following departments and agencies should identify, assess, prioritize, and address the climate change risks related to their areas of responsibility:
Infrastructure Canada's response. Agreed. Infrastructure Canada is committed to addressing climate change challenges and to working with provincial, territorial, municipal, and Indigenous partners on this issue. To this end, the Department entered into an agreement in 2017 with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to deliver the Municipalities for Climate Innovations Program, which supports integrating climate change mitigation and adaptation objectives into municipal infrastructure investment planning. The Department will also enter into integrated bilateral agreements with the provinces and territories to deliver $33 billion in federal infrastructure investments, of which $9.2 billion will support green infrastructure projects, including projects to prepare for climate change. The Department will also apply a climate lens more broadly to all funding streams under the agreements to encourage consideration of climate change in project planning.
In addition, the $2 billion Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund will be launched in the 2017–18 fiscal year to provide funding for large-scale infrastructure projects supporting mitigation of natural disasters and extreme weather events and to strengthen climate resilience.
Finally, with respect to managing its corporate responsibilities, Infrastructure Canada will continue to assess climate change risk and ensure that assessments are clearly incorporated and documented in ongoing corporate risk management activities, starting in fall 2017.

Description of the horizontal initiative |
The Investing in Canada Plan (the Plan) is the Government of Canada's national strategy to address Canada's aging infrastructure and rebuild the nation for the 21st Century. Through the Plan, the Government of Canada is making historic new investments in infrastructure-more than doubling existing funding – to provide communities across the country with the tools they need to prosper and innovate. To do this, the federal government is investing more than $180 billion over 12 years in five main infrastructure priorities:
These investments will create long-term economic growth, build inclusive, sustainable communities and support a low carbon, green economy. The initial phase of the Plan, announced in Budget 2016, focused on laying a foundation in the short term by accelerating existing federal infrastructure investments and providing $14.4 billion in additional funding for the rehabilitation, repair, and modernization of existing infrastructure. Budget 2017 builds on this foundation with $81.2 billion in new funding, to be delivered over 11 year, starting in 2017-18. The Government of Canada is working closely with partners and stakeholders to deliver this ambitious plan that will make a real difference to Canadians and their communities. |

Performance information
The implementation of the Investing in Canada plan during the reporting period 2017-18 has led to all Budget 2016 programs being launched. In total, funding has been allocated to 34 specific initiatives unfolding over a period of 12 years, while focusing primarily on investments for rehabilitation of infrastructure over fiscal years 2016-17 and 2017-18. 14 federal departments and Crown corporations are delivering these programs in order to contribute to the expected outcomes of the Plan.
During the fiscal year 2017-18, over 14,000 projects with a federal contribution of close to $4.8 billion were approved.
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation
Under the Investing in Canada Plan, CMHC funded the following initiatives during the fiscal year 2017-18:
-
Doubling of the Investment in Affordable Housing: $243.3 million expended by CMHC for 2,812 projects to assist 165,279 households.
-
Affordable Housing for Seniors: $100.6 million expended by CMHC for 746 projects to assist 3,078 households.
-
Affordable Housing for Victims of Family Violence: $29.9 million expended by CMHC for 114 projects to assist 1,537 households
-
Energy and Water Efficiency and Retrofit to Existing Social Housing: $81.6 million expended by CMHC for 377 projects to assist 13,740 households
-
Northern Housing: $57.6 million invested by CMHC for 57 projects to assist 504 households

Skills and Capacity Development On-Reserve: $5 million expended by CMHC to assist 464 First Nation communities with skills and capacity development for the design, construction, inspection and overall management of housing on-reserve, Construction of new shelters for victims of family violence in First Nation communities On Reserve: Construction has begun on the three projects in Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia. The Saskatchewan and Quebec projects plan to start construction shortly. All projects will be completed by March 31, 2019.
Canadian Heritage
As a contributing agency to the implementation of Phase 1 of the Investing in Canada Plan, the Department of Canadian Heritage helped to improve cultural spaces across the country through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund (CCSF).
Budget 2016 provided an additional $84.1M in 2017-18 for the CCSF, which led to a significant increase in the number of cultural infrastructure projects supported by the program. In 2017-18, the CCSF approved funding for 186 new or improved cultural facilities. Fifty-eight per cent of these projects target underserved communities, including Indigenous, ethnocultural, and official language minority communities as well as organizations that serve youth. The CCSF supports projects that build Canadians' knowledge of Canada, including its history, symbols, and cultures. For example, the CCSF invested $11.5 million towards the construction of a new home for the Thunder Bay Art Gallery. This new building will allow the gallery to continue to focus on contemporary Indigenous art, with new and improved exhibition and storage space, as well as studios and a lecture hall. This project is part of a larger redevelopment of Thunder Bay's downtown waterfront area.
Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada
Since the implementation of the First Nations Solid Waste Management Initiative in 2016, the Initiative have supported a total of 458 projects and allocated 93.9 million in the past two years. 235 projects have completed. All together 362 First Nation Communities serving approximately 371,000 people are benefiting from waste management investments across Canada.
In 2017-18, building on the planning and design work in the previous year, the Initiative invested $80 million to support over 400 projects. These projects provided a variety of waste management solutions tailored to First Nation community needs, including disposing of solid waste and hazardous waste off reserve, new or upgraded solid waste infrastructure, improving solid waste management programming such as planning or services, and improving community capacity, operator training and community education. 55 First Nation communities have improved waste infrastructure and over 100 First Nation communities are with improved waste programming.
The Department continued to engage First Nations and organizations through engagement sessions and the Indigenous National Advisory Committee in 2017-18. Seven engagement sessions were completed. 161 First Nation communities and organizations participated in these sessions and ranked the priorities that came out of the sessions. They have also confirmed their support for the First Nation Solid Waste Management Initiative approach. The outcomes of these engagement sessions will help guide the direction of solid waste management in First Nation communities. The Indigenous National Advisory Committee continued to advise the Department on waste management policy development, implementation, and long-term strategies. Indigenous regional advisory committees began to form too with one regional committee being established. Other regions are to follow.
CIRNAC provides housing funds directly to Inuit land claim governments and organizations in Nunavik (Quebec), Nunatsiavut (Newfoundland and Labrador) and Inuvialuit (Northwest Territories) – Nunavut is funded by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. CIRNAC's Inuit housing program is premised on a self-determination approach that gives Inuit recipients the responsibility, decision-making powers and capacity to address housing needs in their communities. Funding is not project or proposal based. In each case, the annual allocation is disbursed fully at the outset of each fiscal year, to allow recipients sufficient time to plan for the construction season, purchase materials and consider innovative and new ideas. Inuit partners have the ability to use funding to meet the housing needs that they identify at the regional level such as new construction, repairs, operations and maintenance and improving energy efficiency.
During the fiscal year 2017-18, $54,500,000 (100% of planned spending) was flowed to Inuit recipients resulting in the construction of 183 new housing units - 144 in Nunavik, 24 in Inuvialuit and 15 in Nunatsiavut. In addition, the Nunatsiavut Government used a portion of its funds for repairs and renovations to its existing housing stock.
CIRNAC has three climate change adaptation programs partially funded through the Invest In Canada Plan that have the goal to improve resilience to climate change impacts of Indigenous and Northern communities. Results reporting for these initiatives can be found in the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change Horizontal Initiative.

Enabling and Accessibility Fund
Budget 2016 provided an additional $4 million over two years (2016-2017 and 2017-2018) to fund additional small projects under the program's Community Accessibility Stream. As a result of the additional $2 million allocated for fiscal year 2017–2018, 84 additional small community projects stemming from the 2017 Call for Proposals were funded.
In total, the program funded 168 additional small community projects over two fiscal years under this initiative. The program more than doubled its expected target of at least 80 additional small projects funded over two years.
Early Learning and Child Care
On June 12, 2017, the Government of Canada announced a historic agreement with provincial and territorial governments on a Multilateral Early Learning and Child Care Framework. The Multilateral Early Learning and Child Care Framework sets the foundation for governments to work towards a shared long term vision where all children across Canada can experience the enriching environment of quality early learning and child care.
Following this historic agreement, bilateral agreements have been signed with all provinces and territories, which represent a total value of $1.2 billion over three years for early learning and child care programs (2017-18 – 2019-20).
The three-year bilateral agreements outline the unique early learning and child care needs to be addressed in each jurisdiction.
Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care
Employment and Social Development Canada partnered with Indigenous organizations to engage with Indigenous Peoples across the country to inform the co-development of an Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Framework. The distinctions-based Framework, once released, will reflect the unique cultural needs of First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, families and communities across Canada, and will guide federal investments to support improved quality, accessibility, affordability and flexibility of Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care programs.
First Nations and Inuit Child Care Initiative
In 2017-2018, First Nations and Inuit Child Care Initiative received funding totalling $44.4 million through the Investing in Canada Plan. This funding supported 335 infrastructure improvement projects in First Nations on-reserve and Inuit communities (this is in addition to the 210 projects completed in 2016-2017), and was also distributed to all 465 child care facilities funded through First Nations and Inuit Child Care Initiative for training and cultural programming, and to a one year increase to First Nations and Inuit Child Care Initiative base funding.
Homelessness Partnering Strategy
In 2017-2018, $46.4 million in incremental funding was made available through regionally delivered funding streams to enhance community-level efforts to tackle homelessness. As a result, 143 projects were approved.
With regard to the nationally-delivered Innovative Solutions to Homelessness stream, 50 projects were approved for a total expenditure of $6.1 million over the 2017-2018 fiscal year.
Indigenous Services Canada
Budget 2016 provided $270 M over five years through the Investing in Canada Plan to improve health facilities on reserve.
Funding in the first two (2) years supported forty-eight (48) community health funding infrastructure projects including twenty-nine (29) new builds projects, sixteen (16) renovation projects, two (2) repair projects and one (1) design project.
By March 2018, nineteen (19) health facility projects were completed, including ten (10) new build, six (6) renovation, two (2) repair and one (1) design projects. Seven (7) projects have been planned for completion between March 2019 and March 2021 and twenty-two (22) projects experienced delays and were not completed as initially planned. The delayed completion of these projects is due to logistics and coordination challenges associated with winter construction, local forest fire activity and evolution in scope to support further expansion of services. All delayed projects are expected to be completed in 2018-19.
Additionally, Budget 2016 provided $51.2 M over two years for capital improvements to Aboriginal Head Start On Reserve (AHSOR) facilities. In 2017-18, one hundred (100) AHSOR projects received funding, bringing the total number of AHSOR projects supported under Budget 2016 to one hundred sixty-seven (167). As of March 2018, one hundred sixteen (116) AHSOR projects were completed, and all remaining projects are anticipated to be completed in 2018-19. Projects completed to date include engineering design for capital investments at eight (8) facilities, construction of nineteen (19) replacement AHSOR facilities, repairs and renovations at sixty (60) facilities, and minor capital projects and equipment purchases at twenty-nine (29) facilities.
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada
The Connect to Innovate (CTI) program will invest $500 million by 2021 to bring high-speed Internet service to rural and remote communities in Canada. Program funds will be primarily directed to new backbone infrastructure to build connections to institutions like schools, hospitals and First Nations band offices. As of March 2018, 191 CTI projects have been conditionally approved with the majority of those projects announced.
The Post-Secondary Institutions Strategic Investment Fund (PSI-SIF) provides $2 billion over three years to enhance and modernize our country's research and innovation infrastructure. Projects under the fund will help Canada's universities and colleges develop highly-skilled workers, act as engines of discovery and collaborate on innovations that help companies compete and grow. As of March 2018, 265 projects were underway and 34 were completed.
Infrastructure Canada
In 2017-18, Infrastructure Canada continued to deliver on key programming, approving the majority of funding under the PTIF and CWWF programs:
-
Under the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund, all funding agreements with provinces and territories under PTIF have been signed. During 2016-17 and 2017-18, a total of 738 projects with a federal contribution of $1.57 B were approved under the program, accounting for 46% of overall program funding.
-
Under the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund, all funding agreements with provinces and territories have also been signed. During 2016-17 and 2017-18, a total of 923 projects with a federal contribution of $1.28 B were approved under the program, accounting for 64% of overall program funding.
-
The initiative on Codes, Guides and Specifications for Climate-Resilient Public Infrastructure is managed by the National Research Council through a Memorandum of Understanding signed with INFC in November 2016. In 2017-2018, three new CSA standards were drafted and posted for public review, NRC developed 102 Performance specifications sections for the Canadian National Master Construction Specification, and over 41 research reports were prepared to summarize key research activities and support the development of the new guides, standards, and codes. The results of this initiative will inform future infrastructure builds and rehabilitation work in Canada, encourage innovation to prepare assets for climate change, and help keep Canadians safe and resilient to our changing environment.
Natural Resources Canada
The government invested in infrastructure to support the transition to a cleaner transportation system and to make low-carbon vehicles more attractive to Canadians.
Budget 2016 allotted $2.5M over two years to support the establishment of joint federal-provincial studies on enhancing electricity cooperation and increasing interprovincial electricity trade and transmission, known as the Regional Electricity Cooperation and Strategic Infrastructure (RESCI). This initiative will help shape future investments to maximize economic and environmental benefits. Final studies from this work were published in summer 2018.
Budget 2016 provided $62.5M over two years for the Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Initiative through Green Infrastructure Phase 1. By March 31, 2018, the deployment element of this initiative invested over 99% of its Budget 2016 funding resulting in 43 new EV fast chargers, and one new natural gas station opening to the public. Once all projects are fully completed, these resources will have supported the construction of 102 electric vehicle fast-chargers, seven natural gas refueling stations, and three hydrogen refueling stations, as well as the demonstration of more than 200 next-generation electric vehicle charging stations. All deployment projects will be completed by March 2019. For the demonstration element of this initiative, 10 projects are underway and will be completed by March 2020Footnote 48.
Parks Canada
Under the Investing in Canada Plan, Parks Canada's expanded and renamed the National Cost-Sharing Program for Heritage Places and is now making financial assistance available to all heritage places formally recognized by the federal government, including national historic sites, heritage lighthouses and heritage railway stations that are neither owned nor administered by the Government of Canada. These celebrated places are the source of great national pride, making the need to preserve them for future generations an important one.
-
A total of 64 proposals were received for 2017-18 of which 46 new projects were approved for a federal contribution of $11 million. In addition to these, 25 projects approved in 2016-17 were granted extensions into 2017-18 to allow them to be completed without undue hardships. By March 31, 2018, 63 projects had been completed for a federal contribution of $11.1 million and a total value of $25.7 million invested in heritage places. A total of 8 projects were granted extensions into 2018-19 and will be completed next year.
Public Health Agency of Canada
Budget 2016 committed $15.4 million for one year to support Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care (IELCC) for Aboriginal Head Start in Urban and Northern Communities (AHSUNC). This time - limited investment in 2017-18 provides much needed capital infrastructure funding for AHSUNC sites to support repairs, renovations and building replacement.
During 2017-18, there were 77 AHSUNC IELCC capital and quality improvement amendments planned and approved. Out of the 77 approved projects, 12 were completed in 2017-18. The majority of the remaining projects will be completed in 2018-19 as funding has been provided to recipients and projects are underway during the current construction season. The Public Health Agency's regional offices are working with Indigenous recipients to keep track of the progress and results on these investments.
Public Safety Canada
In recognition of increasing risks and costs due to extreme climate events in Canada, Budget 2017 has earmarked $2 billion over 10 years to establish the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund (DMAF), a merit-based, national program administered by Infrastructure Canada (INFC), which targets large-scale infrastructure, disaster mitigation and climate adaptation projects, built and natural, primarily for public use or benefit.
Public Safety Canada (PS) worked closely with INFC to develop the Terms and Conditions for the DMAF. As such, PS leveraged existing governance structures to establish a Federal/Provincial/Territorial DMAFWorking Group, which was co-chaired with INFC. The purpose of this working group was to engage with provinces and territories on emergency management issues, as well as seek input on potential projects and program development.
