2018-19 Supplementary Information Tables: Departmental Results Report

Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy

1. Context for the Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy

The 2016–2019 Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS):

sets out the Government of Canada's sustainable development priorities
establishes goals and targets
identifies actions to achieve them, as required by the Federal Sustainable Development Act

In keeping with the objectives of the act to make environmental decision-making more transparent and accountable to Parliament, Infrastructure Canada supports reporting on the implementation of the FSDS and its Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy, or equivalent document, through the activities described in this supplementary information table.

2. Sustainable development at Infrastructure Canada

Infrastructure Canada's Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy for 2017 to 2020 describes the department's actions in support of achieving modern and resilient infrastructure, and a low-carbon government. This supplementary information table presents available results for the departmental actions pertinent to these goals. Last year's supplementary information table is posted on department's website. This year, Infrastructure Canada is also noting which UN SDG target each departmental action contributes to achieving.

Explanation of variances	“Actual spending” was higher than “planned spending” for this program. This was due to a combination of some projects advancing more quickly than was forecasted in the previous year, triggering more or higher payments, as well as higher than expected amounts claimed for reimbursement by recipients. Planned spending is based on cash-flow estimates provided by the recipient and is subject to change as projects may advance more slowly or quickly than anticipated. Variances in actual spending may also be attributed to the fact that the department's actual spending is based on the timing of when recipients submit claims, which may vary due to administrative and other factors.

Link to Departmental Results Framework	Gas Tax Fund – Permanent Funding for Municipalities
Description	This program provides municipalities with predictable, long-term funding, enabling local decision-making in the building and rehabilitation of core public infrastructure. The federal government has entered into Gas Tax Fund administrative agreements with provinces, territories, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Union of British Columbia Municipalities and the City of Toronto. These agreements establish an accountability framework with terms and conditions allowing the Government of Canada to flow Gas Tax Fund investments twice a year to signatories which in turn, flow funds to municipalities based on an agreed-upon allocation formula. The funding is to remain in effect until 2023-2024. The Gas Tax Fund supports increased productivity and economic growth as well as strong cities and communities. Municipalities can pool, bank and borrow against this funding, providing significant additional financial flexibility. Eligible recipients are required to report annually on their use of funds and their compliance to the terms and conditions of the Gas Tax Fund agreements.
Results achieved	Municipalities have access to permanent and flexible infrastructure funding to build and improve infrastructure. In 2018-2019, the Gas Tax Fund delivered funding to 3,600 communities across the country and the funding has supported approximately 4,000 projects.
Findings of audits completed in 2018–19	No audit was completed during the reporting year.
Findings of evaluations completed in 2018–19	The next GTF evaluation is scheduled for completion in FY 2020-2021.
Engagement of applicants and recipients in 2018–19	Infrastructure Canada continues to collaborate with provinces, territories, the City of Toronto and municipal associations through agreement monitoring activities such as oversight committees and program workshops. Discussions regarding outcome reporting, existing data, and agreement amendments are ongoing. During the reporting year the Department took steps to improve performance reporting for the federal Gas Tax Fund. In January 2019, Infrastructure Canada successfully hosted the yearly Gas Tax Fund workshop, which provided an opportunity for discussion and collaboration between federal, provincial, territorial and municipal officials, two major municipal associations as well as officials from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The workshop focused on reporting on outcomes and asset management best practices. An ad-hoc working group was established with participating signatories to further discussions on performance measurement and future reporting, which continues Infrastructure Canada's work with signatories to update performance measurement and results reporting for the GTF.

Explanation of variances	The Gas Tax Fund is a source of predictable federal funding for municipalities and as such, Infrastructure Canada and its partners work together to ensure that payments are made on schedule. Funding letters issued to signatories are dependent on the submission and acceptance of an Annual Report (Financial Report Table, Project List) and an Independent Audit Opinion or Audit Based Attestation. In 2018-2019, all jurisdictions received their payments, totaling about $2.2 billion.

Provincial–Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund (PT–Base Fund):

Description	This program provides base funding to each province and territory for core infrastructure priorities. In addition, funding under the Building Canada Fund for the three territories is managed under this Fund. The Provincial–Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund supports economic growth and productivity, and promotes a cleaner environment and prosperous communities. Payments are made in advance and cost–sharing provisions apply to a capital plan as a whole, and not individual initiatives. Provinces and territories may pool, bank, or cash–manage these funds to give them flexibility in implementation.
Results achieved	Actual results for the program show that provinces and territories have contributed well beyond the program's cost sharing requirements. Infrastructure Canada continues to work with provincial and territorial governments and provide guidance to them to ensure that the required annual expenditure and audit reports are submitted. By March 31, 2019, eight of thirteen jurisdictions have completed all reporting obligations and have received their final payments under the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund. The funding agreements for the remaining jurisdictions have been extended to allow for the completion of all initiatives and reporting requirements, as well as the reconciliation of cost sharing requirements against final initiative costs. These extended funding agreements are expected to close out over the next two years.
Findings of audits completed in 2018–19	No audit was completed during the reporting year.
Findings of evaluations completed in 2018–19	No evaluation was completed during the reporting year. Evaluations of the impact of the Department's programs in small communities and in one of Canada's largest cities are planned that might cover some PT base components. These evaluations are scheduled to be completed in FY 2019-20.
Engagement of applicants and recipients in 2018–19	All funding available for projects under this program has been committed. The Department continues to work with jurisdictions to flow funding, including final payments, under the PT-Base Fund.

Explanation of variances	Under the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund, the Government of Canada's flow of funding to the provinces and territories is subject to the submission and federal acceptance of Capital Plans and/or Expenditure Reports. As reporting is cumulative, any delay in the submission of a given report will result in delays to subsequent reports, and related payments. In addition, the final expenditure and audit report must demonstrate that all Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Base Fund initiatives in a jurisdiction have been completed. Due to delays in completing a small number of initiatives, this requirement was not met by the end of 2018-2019 in several provinces and territories, thus delaying the submission of final expenditure and audit reporting and resulting in extensions to funding agreements and the re-profiling of funds for these remaining jurisdictions. As noted above, eight jurisdictions have completed all reporting obligations and received final payments. The remaining four jurisdictions are expected to close out by March 31, 2021.

Description	The Building Canada Fund - Communities Component -- supports the infrastructure needs of smaller communities with populations of fewer than 100,000. Project costs are shared with provincial, territorial and municipal governments, with each order of government generally contributing one-third of the eligible costs. The fund supports the construction, renewal, and enhancement of basic infrastructure such as potable water, wastewater treatment, local roads, and other infrastructure needs of small communities. The Building Canada Fund - Large Urban Centres Component (LUCC) invests in infrastructure projects in Quebec's communities of 100,000 inhabitants or more. This Component was designed to help Quebec's nine big cities (Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, Gatineau, Longueuil, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Lévis, Trois-Rivières) to meet their urgent infrastructure needs.
Results achieved	Since the programs began, a total of 981 projects with a federal contribution of over $1.1 billion and total value of over $3.7 billion have been approved. A total of 947 projects have already been completed which represents 97% of the approved projects. The largest categories of investment are the following: Wastewater, with a total federal investment of over $393 million, and Drinking Water, with a total federal investment of over $345 million. In most jurisdictions, the BCF-CC construction completion deadline was March 31, 2016. In Quebec, both the BCF-CC and LUCC had the deadlines extended to 2020.
Findings of audits completed in 2018–19	No audit was completed during the reporting year.
Findings of evaluations completed in 2018–19	No evaluation was completed during the reporting year. An evaluation of the impact of the Department's programs in small communities may cover components of BCF-CC. It is scheduled to be completed by FY 2019-20.
Engagement of applicants and recipients in 2018–19	All funding available for projects under this program has been committed. The Department continues to work with jurisdictions to flow funding, including final payments, under this Fund.

Explanation of variances	“Actual spending” was higher than “planned spending” for this program. This was due to a combination of some projects advancing more quickly than was forecasted in the previous year, triggering more or higher payments, as well as higher than expected amounts claimed for reimbursement by recipients. Planned spending is based on cash-flow estimates provided by the recipient and is subject to change as projects may advance more slowly or quickly than anticipated. Variances in actual spending may also be attributed to the fact that the department's actual spending is based on the timing of when recipients submit claims, which may vary due to administrative and other factors.

Link to Departmental Results Framework	New Building Canada Fund–Funding Allocations for Provinces and Territories
Description	This program provides funding to support infrastructure projects of national and regional significance that contribute to economic growth, a clean environment and stronger communities. The PTIC–NRP is an allocation–based program that recognizes and supports the important role that provinces, territories, and municipalities play in helping to build Canada's public infrastructure.
Results achieved	Since the program began, a total of 275 projects with a federal contribution of over $9 billion and total value of over $23 billion have been approved. A total of 41 projects have already been completed which represents 15% of the approved projects. The largest categories of investment are the following: Highways and Roads, with a total federal investment of over $4.3 billion, and Public Transit, with a total federal investment of over $3.2 billion. In 2018-2019, Infrastructure Canada made progress in the implementation of the program: 67 new projects with a federal contribution of over $2.3 billion and total value of over $5.5 billion were approved; 37 projects with a federal contribution of over $1.6 billion and total value of over $3.6 billion began construction; and 19 projects with a federal contribution of over $110 million and total value of over $272 million completed construction.
Findings of audits completed in 2018–19	This program is part of a combined Audit and Evaluation of the Impacts of INFC Programs in the Territories which will be completed in 2019-20.
Findings of evaluations completed in 2018–19	An evaluation of the New Building Canada Fund, including PTIC-NRP, was completed in fiscal year 2018-2019. This evaluation found that: The New Building Canada Fund addressed the evolving infrastructure needs of provinces, territories, and municipalities, by funding different types of projects through a variety of eligible funding categories. The 2016 program amendments, which added five additional funding categories, provided further flexibility for recipients. The New Building Canada Fund's sub-programs were very similar to one another, and some differentiating factors were not well defined, leading to the possibility that the same project could be funded under any sub-program. Given that each sub-program has different application and project approval requirements, the design of the New Building Canada Fund did not maximize effectiveness and efficiency. This program is also part of a combined Audit and Evaluation of the Impacts of INFC Programs in the Territories which will be completed in 2019-20.
Engagement of applicants and recipients in 2018–19	Provinces and territories were required to prioritize projects for all outstanding NBCF-PTIC funding allocations by March 31, 2018. Project applications are no longer being accepted under the program.

Explanation of variances	This program provides significant funding for large, complex projects. It is typical for these projects to require a significant amount of upfront planning, design and procurement, as well as time to obtain approvals from various orders of government. These processes may occur, in whole or in part, after funding commitments are announced. As a result, there is often a period of time that will pass between project announcements and the start of construction. Even when construction has started, a number of factors beyond the control of funding recipients can result in lower spending than forecasted. These factors include project delays resulting from inclement weather and from technical and other construction- related complexities that also cause construction delays, which in turn cause claims to lag and be submitted for reduced amounts. It is also important to note that actual spending lags behind the actual rate of construction of projects since recipients are reimbursed only once claims are submitted, even though eligible costs may have already been incurred.

New Building Canada Fund–Provincial–Territorial Infrastructure Component–Small Communities Fund (PTIC–SCF):

Link to Departmental Results Framework	New Building Canada Fund–Funding Allocations for Provinces and Territories
Description	The PTIC-SCF provides contribution funding for infrastructure projects in small communities with populations of 100,000 or less. Infrastructure Canada enters into funding agreements with provinces and territories for the implementation of the PTIC-SCF. In turn, the provinces and territories administer the project identification process in keeping with SCF program parameters. PTI-SCF represents 10 percent (10%) of the overall Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component funding envelope, and makes $964,240,000 in contribution funding available to provinces and territories for local infrastructure. The PTIC-SCF is designed to leverage the resources and existing processes of provinces and territories in managing local projects, while ensuring federal accountability and oversight for the funding envelope.
Results achieved	Since the program began in 2014-2015, a total of 967 projects with a federal contribution of over $1.4 billion and total value of over $3.6 billion have been approved. A total of 254 projects have already been completed which represents 26% of the approved projects. The largest categories of investment are the following: Highways and Roads, with a total federal investment of over $331 million; and Wastewater, with a total federal investment of over $254 million. In 2018-2019, Infrastructure Canada made progress in the implementation of the program: 163 new projects with a federal contribution of over $ 160 million and total value of over $309 million were approved; 85 projects with a federal contribution of over $129 million and total value of over $334 million began construction; and 39 projects with a federal contribution of over $27 million and total value of over $75 million completed construction.
Findings of audits completed in 2018–19	The PTIC-SCF is part of a larger joint evaluation and audit engagement of the impact of departmental programs in the Territories that was ongoing in 2018-2019.
Findings of evaluations completed in 2018–19	An evaluation of the New Building Canada Fund, including PTIC-SCF, was completed in fiscal year 2018-2019.

Given that each sub-program has different application and project approval requirements, the design of the New Building Canada Fund did not maximize effectiveness and efficiency. The launch of PTIF-CWWF delayed the implementation of this program with regards to the number of approved projects and dollars spent, particularly on water and wastewater projects. This program is also part of a combined Audit and Evaluation of the Impacts of INFC Programs in the Territories which will be completed in 2019-20.

Explanation of variances	Program spending was lower than planned. This can be attributed to a number of factors including project delays resulting from inclement weather and from technical and other construction-related complexities that can lead to construction delays, design changes due to new regulations, and consultations with affected stakeholders, which in turn cause claims to lag and be submitted for reduced amounts. It is also important to note that the disbursement of federal contributions follows the actual construction of projects as recipients are reimbursed for incurred expenditures only once they submit claims.

Description	This program provides short-term funding of $3.4 billion to shorten commute times, cut air pollution, strengthen communities and grow Canada's economy. Infrastructure Canada entered into contribution agreements with all provinces and territories for the delivery of PTIF. In turn, provinces and territories entered into agreements with eligible recipients to manage projects. As this is a cost-share program, federal funding from all sources can be up to 50% in provinces and 75% in territories of total eligible costs per project. All eligible projects are approved for PTIF funding by Infrastructure Canada and provinces and territories are required to report on progress at least twice a year. The PTIF is designed to leverage funding through project partners to accelerate investments in public transit, while ensuring federal accountability and oversight for the funding envelope. In the fall of 2017, provinces and territories were informed that the program was to be extended. And as such, recipients may incur eligible costs up to and including March 31, 2020.
Results achieved	Since the program began, a total of 1196 projects with a federal contribution of over $3.1 billion and total value of over $6.4 billion have been approved. A total of 507 projects have already been completed which represents 42% of the approved projects. The entire program's investment are directed to improving public transit throughout Canada. Investments made through the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund have translated into the acquisition of over 3474 new buses and the rehabilitation or enhancement to over 3754 existing buses. In 2018-2019, Infrastructure Canada made progress in the implementation of the program: 111 projects with a federal contribution of over $226 million and total value of over $463 million began construction; and 199 projects with a federal contribution of over $275 million and total value of over $553 million completed construction

Link to Departmental Results Framework	Smart Cities Challenge
Description	The Smart Cities Challenge has a budget of $300 million over 10 years, and began in 2017–18. It encourages communities of all sizes from across the country to take bold action to improve outcomes for their residents by applying a smart cities approach that leverages connected technologies and data. The Challenge model provides incentive to communities to adopt a multi–sectoral approach to problem solving. Communities are encouraged to engage their residents and submit proposals that include the private, public and research sectors as well as demonstrate real and measureable outcomes for residents. The process requires the full engagement of residents while requiring that communities mobilize themselves to overcome institutional barriers to innovation. The program also administers the Smart Cities Community Support Program to provide advisory and capacity-building services directly to communities across Canada as they explore and implement smart cities approaches.
Results achieved	The twenty finalists of the first competition were announced in June 2018. Grant agreements were signed with each finalist awarding an amount of $250,000 ($5M in total) to support their development of fully detailed and implementable final proposals. Evaluation of these proposals by the independent Smart Cities Challenge Jury began in March 2019. Under the Smart Cities Community Support Program, the department initiated a multi-year funding agreement with Evergreen to create the Community Solutions Network, a project that supports communities as they advance their thinking on the use of smart cities approaches.

Link to Departmental Results Framework	Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program
Description	The $33.1 billion Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP), to be delivered over 10 years, will be instrumental in meeting INFC's overarching objectives to rebuild Canada's infrastructure for the 21st century. The program acknowledges that provinces, territories, municipalities and Indigenous communities are key partners that are best positioned to prioritize investments in infrastructure. To this end, the ICIP is delivered through Integrated Bilateral Agreements (IBAs) between INFC and provinces/territories that rely on a strong collaborative approach to successfully implement infrastructure projects. Federal funding under the ICIP will be disbursed under four funding streams: public transit; green infrastructure; community, culture and recreation infrastructure, as well as rural and northern communities’ infrastructure.
Results achieved	Since the program began, a total of 48 projects with a federal contribution of over $5 billion and total value of over $13 billion have been approved. In 2018-2019, Infrastructure Canada made progress in the implementation of the program: 12 projects with a federal contribution of over $138 million and total value of over $271 million began construction; and 1 project with a federal contribution of over $1.7 million and total value of over $4.4 million completed construction. It represents 2% of the approved projects.
Findings of audits completed in 2018–19	No audits were conducted in 2018-2019. A Just-In-Time ICIP Audit titled Project Review And Approval is planned to be completed in 2019-20. Two recipient audits per provincial/territorial jurisdiction are planned over the life of the program.
Findings of evaluations completed in 2018–19	No evaluations were conducted in 2018-2019.

Explanation of variances		Planned spending reflects the amount approved through the 2018-19 Main Estimates, and published as part of the 2018-19 Departmental Plan. Funding for this special purpose allotment was approved later in the financial cycle, through the Supplementary Estimates. The variance between authorities available for use, and the actual spending (authorities used) is due to cost efficiencies leading to lower-than-anticipated claims, as well as project delays leading to the deferral of claims. The funds associated with these payments have been re-profiled to future years.

Gender-based analysis plus

Governance structures	Infrastructure Canada (INFC) is working towards developing a GBA+ culture and implementing GBA+ analysis in its daily activities. To this end, the Department has established a GBA+ Responsibility Centre. The GBA+ Responsibility Centre: Provides GBA+ leadership and raises awareness across the department; Reviews, assesses, and provides guidance on Memoranda to Cabinet, Treasury Board Submissions, and Budget Proposals; Develops tools and resources, and organizes learning events to increase GBA+ capacity within the Department; and, Liaises with the Women and Gender Equality Canada (formerly Status of Women Canada) and the broader Government of Canada GBA+ Interdepartmental Network. The GBA+ Responsibility Centre recently launched an internal website to provide resources and build capacity across the department. The GBA+ Responsibility Centre works in conjunction with INFC's Diversity, Inclusion and Official Languages Co-Champions to promote a workplace that welcomes and celebrates differences and breaks down barriers. Overall, INFC is on track to improve the departmental culture with respect to the implementation of GBA+ and is committed to ensuring equitable outcomes of infrastructure investments for all Canadians.
Human resources	INFC GBA+ Responsibility Centre consists of one analyst, with support from their manager, dedicated to the implementation and mainstreaming of GBA+ in the Department.
Major initiatives: results achieved	Infrastructure Canada is committed to ensuring all Canadians benefit from its investments made through the Investing in Canada plan. Robust performance measurement strategies are being developed for new programs, which include features such as outcomes, indicators and (in some cases) targets, to help ensure that all Canadians benefit from these investments. For example, a key outcome for the Investing in Canada Program is that Canadian communities are more inclusive and accessible. Project assessment and selection processes will ensure that programs achieve tangible results. A Community Employment Benefits reporting framework was implemented as part of the Investing in Canada plan to encourage proponents to increase employment opportunities in the construction industry and related sectors for targeted groups including women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, recent immigrants, youth, veterans and apprentices – and to increase procurement opportunities for small- and medium-sized enterprises and social enterprises. Jurisdictions will report annually on a project-by-project basis on their progress made towards achieving their aspirational targets, which will be publicly shared via Infrastructure Canada's website. Internally, the GBA+ Responsibility Centre has focused its efforts on three areas: building capacity through awareness and training; supporting data collection and analysis; and enhancing advice and reporting. The GBA+ Responsibility Centre delivered training sessions and outreach activities for INFC employees; conducted an environmental scan on GBA+ implementation; developed a research strategy; provided input for Memoranda to Cabinet, Treasury Board Submissions, and Budget Proposals; and liaised with other Branches and Directorates to embed GBA+ in daily activities and processes. As of 2019-20, GBA+ has been identified by the Evaluation Directorate as a requirement for all evaluation projects (in line with government policy/directive). This requirement is reflected in the Directorate's Evaluation Manual, which outlines key steps for each phase of evaluation projects. The Directorate is making efforts to apply lessons learned and best practices from similar units that are more advanced in their GBA+ related work, and have found a number of helpful contacts and resources. To ensure that all final proposal submissions considered and incorporated GBA+ considerations into their overall project design and in the context of ongoing resident engagement plans, the Smart Cities Challenge finalist guide provided detailed guidance and laid out evaluation requirements related to inclusion and diversity. Submissions at the finalist phase were also required to demonstrate compliance with the Community Employment Benefits reporting framework.
Reporting capacity and data	Infrastructure Canada primarily delivers funding for infrastructure projects led by provinces, territories, municipalities, Indigenous communities and other partners. The department does not provide services to individual Canadians and thus does not collect statistical data at the individual, user level. However, when developing new initiatives, INFC undertakes a detailed gender-based analysis plus (GBA+) to ensure that they consider the potential positive and negative impacts of infrastructure investments on all Canadians, taking into account intersectional identity factors including sex, gender, ethnicity, race, culture, language, age, ability, geography, economic status, and more.

Start date of the horizontal initiative	April 1, 2016
End date of the horizontal initiative	March 31, 2028
Description of the horizontal initiative	The IICP is the Government of Canada's national strategy to address Canada's aging infrastructure and rebuild the nation for the 21st Century. Through the IICP, 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: public transit infrastructure green infrastructure social infrastructure trade and transportation infrastructure rural and northern communities infrastructure These investments will create long-term economic growth, build inclusive, sustainable communities and support a low carbon, green economy. The seven expected outcomes of the IICP are: Rate of economic growth is increased in an inclusive and sustainable way Environmental quality is improved, GHG emissions are reduced and resilience of communities is increased Improved urban mobility in Canadian communities Housing is affordable and in good condition and homelessness is reduced year over year Early learning and childcare is of high quality, affordable, flexible and inclusive Canadian communities are more inclusive and accessible Infrastructure is managed in a more sustainable way 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 built on this foundation with $81.2 billion in new funding, to be delivered over 11 years, 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.
Governance structures	Governance committees are supported by INFC, as the lead department for the initiative. The Deputy Ministers' Coordinating Committee (DMCC), is chaired by the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Canada. The aim of the DMCC is to ensure interdepartmental coordination and oversight at the most senior officials level for the Investing in Canada Plan, and to support the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities to report to Cabinet and the Prime Minister. Assistant Deputy Ministers and Directors General from departments responsible for delivering programs under the plan also engage as needed to support the DMCC. In addition, there are working groups chaired by INFC to facilitate reporting, coordinated communications approach, and information technology.

Performance Narrative

Introduction

14 federal departments and agencies are delivering their programs in order to contribute to the expected outcomes of the Investing in Canada Plan. As of March 31, 2019, over 34,000 projects have started, with a federal contribution of $38.8 billion.

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation

Shelters for First Nations Victims of Family Violence: $10.4 million was spent to support the creation of five new shelters for victims of family violence in First Nations communities through the Shelters for First Nations Victims of Family Violence program. All projects are complete as of March 31, 2019.

In addition, the following two programs have been approved through the National Housing Strategy in 2018-19:

Federal Community Housing Initiative: $12.5 million ($17.0 million including administrative costs) in subsidies was provided to over 17,300 housing units representing the extension of 567 projects reaching their end of operating agreement dates.
Northern Initiative: $30 million was invested by CMHC to support the creation of 79 new units, repair of 17 units and rent supplements to eight units.

Canadian Heritage

As part of the Investing in Canada Plan, the Department of Canadian Heritage has helped to improve cultural spaces across Canada as well as community educational infrastructure in official-language minority communities.

Budget 2017 provided an additional $30M in 2018-19 for the Canadian Cultural Spaces Fund. In 2018-19, the CCSF approved funding for 178 new or improved cultural facilities across Canada. The CCSF seeks to improve the physical conditions for arts and heritage related creation, collaboration, presentation, preservation and exhibition, as well as increase and improve Canadians' access to arts and culture. For example, the CCSF invested $1.48M to improve accessibility in the Kay Meek Arts Centre, West Vancouver's only performing arts centre. The project includes the installation of an elevator, replacement of seating, including improved wheelchair seating, and will also improve accessibility and safety in the backstage area.
Budget 2017 provided $80 million over 10 years for community educational infrastructure in official-language minority communities (OLMCs). This funding aims to support the construction and modernization of schools and other educational facilities ensuring various services and activities (e.g., daycare services, skills training and community programming) are accessible to OLMCs' members. Launched in 2018-2019, this initiative committed to fund eight new projects (seven of which started in 2018-2019) in the amount of $3,892,062, which is the full amount allowed for the fiscal year.

Crown Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada

Inuit Housing:

Funding delivery delays impacted construction in certain regions. However, 2018-19 investments contributed to the construction of approximately 110 units across three regions in addition to land development and repairs to existing units.

Northern Affairs:

CIRNAC has three climate change adaptation programs partially funded through the Investing 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.

Employment and Social Development Canada

Under the Investing in Canada Plan, Employment and Social Development Canada funded five initiatives in fiscal year 2018-19.
Under the Enabling Accessibility Fund, $7 million in grants and contributions funding, and $700,000 in operations and management funding, was spent in fiscal year 2018-19 for the Investing in Canada Plan. As a result, 306 additional projects stemming from the 2018 Calls for Proposals received funding. This represents an increase of 71% from the target of 179 additional projects funded in 2018-2019. The funding of mid-sized projects was deferred to start in 2019-2020 due to an increase in the number of applications anticipated, which also resulted in increased assessment time commitment by the Department. The funds notionally allocated for mid-sized projects in 2018-2019 were reallocated to fund additional small projects. Additionally, the number of communities with funded projects was less than anticipated as 42% of communities with funded projects had more than one project funded.
Under Reaching Home (formerly the Homelessness Partnering Strategy), a total of $53.1 million was approved for 139 new projects to enhance community-level efforts to tackle homelessness through regionally and nationally delivered streams. Of this amount, $46,283,894 was transferred to recipients. Based on results from 31.5% of recipients, approximately 1,285 people were placed in more stable housing through Reaching Home's Investing in Canada Plan investments in fiscal year 2018-19. Results from the remaining 68.5% of recipients will follow later in summer and fall 2019.
Under Early Learning and Child Care, $399,347,689 was spent on transfers to provinces and territories, $624,966 was spent on projects that addressed new and innovative ways to improve early learning and childcare service delivery, and $1,717,059 was spent to address early learning and child care data and research gaps. Results on the number of more affordable child care spaces for fiscal year 2018-2019 will be available in fall 2019, with the submission of Annual Progress Reports from provinces and territories. By the end of fiscal year 2017-2018, Early Learning and Child Care had reached 1/3 of its target of 40,000 affordable child care spaces by 2020.
Under Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care, a total amount of $101,139,348 was advanced to First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities by Employment and Social Development Canada ($28,820,894), Indigenous Services Canada ($70,318,454), and the Public Health Agency of Canada ($2,000,000). In September 2018, the Government of Canada jointly released the co-developed Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Framework with the Assembly of First Nations, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and the Métis National Council. Results and performance indicators are being co-developed in collaboration with Indigenous partners, based on the principles, goals and distinctions-based priorities outlined in the Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Framework^{Footnote 97}.
Under Women in Construction Fund, $77,189 was spent in fiscal year 2018-19. Through a targeted selection process, a total of three projects to support women in construction trades were approved in fiscal year 2018-2019. A fourth was approved in early fiscal year 2019-20. These four projects will receive funding for three fiscal years, until Women in Construction Fund ends in fiscal year 2020-2021. As projects for the Women in Construction Fund, were only approved in the last quarter of fiscal year 2018-19, results are not yet available on the number of women reached through Women in Construction Fund projects.

Health Canada

As part of the federal $11 billion, 10-year commitment to invest in better home and community care and mental health and addiction initiatives, the $1 billion Home Care Infrastructure investment is being delivered to provinces and territories over four years, starting in 2018-19, through bilateral health agreements for home and community care and mental health and addictions. The federal government has signed bilateral agreements with each province and territory. These agreements are posted here: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/corporate/transparency/health-agreements/shared-health-priorities.html . Jurisdictions will be reporting the results of the $11 billion investment through the Canadian Institute on Health Information based on a focused set of common indicators agreed to by FPT Health Ministers in June 2018.

Of the thirteen (13) projects that received funding, four (4) new build projects and one (1) renovation project were completed in 2018-19. Additionally, eight (8) projects that received Budget 2016 investments in previous years were completed in 2018-19, including four (4) new build projects, two (2) expansion projects and two (2) renovation projects.

Budget 2017 announced a ten (10) year funding profile for First Nations infrastructure, including First Nations health facilities. In August 2018, Indigenous Services Canada received authorities for three (3) years of targeted funding, starting in 2018-19, to support health facilities projects nationally, and for five (5) years of targeted funding, starting in 2018-19, to develop a new health centre of excellence in Norway House, Manitoba.

In 2018-19, one (1) design project and one (1) construction project were initiated with this funding. Both projects are expected to be completed by March 2024.

ISC – Regional Operations Sector:

Budget 2016 provided approximately $3.06B of funding under the Investing in Canada Plan (IICP) to improve water and wastewater, housing and recreational centers in First Nations communities across the country (investments include $408.9M for solid waste management under CIRNAC). Budget 2017 added significant investments to build and improve infrastructure in First Nations and Inuit communities, $1.22B of which is currently confirmed under Indigenous Services Canada (ISC).

Combined funding from Budgets 2016 and 2017 under the IICP totals $4.28B, of which $2.35B has been invested.

During fiscal year 2018-2019, 107 water and wastewater projects were completed, while 346 remain ongoing. These investments were made to improve water and wastewater infrastructure on reserves as well as to address long-term drinking water advisories.

Housing projects in 2018-2019 resulted in 1,754 homes built and renovated, along with 96 lots serviced, improving on-reserve housing conditions, reducing overcrowding and increasing health and safety. Another 2,450 homes were being built or renovated along with 323 lots being serviced, as of March 31, 2019. To support capacity development and innovation, 115 projects were completed and 204 ongoing.

During the fiscal year 2018-2019, 196 other essential community infrastructure projects were completed, including recreational centers and other fundamental infrastructure related projects such as roads and bridges, structural mitigation and fire protection projects. A total of 203 projects were ongoing with investments made possible through Budgets 2016 and 2017.

As of March 31st 2019, the federal government invested $757 million through the fund in support for 16 projects designed to mitigate the potential economic, environmental and social impacts of climate change, disasters triggered by natural hazards, and extreme weather events.

Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada

Connect to Innovate

As of March 31, 2019, Connect to Innovate (CTI) funding had been announced for 174 projects, including 64 recipients, in 11 provinces and territories. A total of $454 million in federal funding was announced—an overall investment of more than $1 billion when including private sector funding and other government funding. Budget 2019 committed additional funds to top-up the CTI program, allowing even more Canadians in rural and remote communities to benefit from new or enhanced Internet access.

CTI will bring new or improved high-speed Internet connectivity to more than 900 communities (including 190 Indigenous communities)—more than tripling the program's initial target of 300 communities. An estimated 1,100 anchor institutions will gain new access to high capacity networks, and more than 19,500 km of fibre network will be installed.

Additional project announcements will reflect the full CTI funding.

Post-Secondary Institutions Strategic Investment Fund

The Post-Secondary Institutions Strategic Investment Fund (PSI-SIF) provides $2 billion to enhance and modernize our country's research and innovation infrastructure. As of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, ISED had disbursed $1.78B of the $1.97B committed and the remaining funds will be distributed over the next 18 months. A total of 286 out of 297 projects are now completed.

Superclusters

Innovation Superclusters Initiative is being led by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada and is reported on under the Innovation and Skills Plan.

Natural Resources Canada

Clean energy and innovative green technology investments position Canada for a low-carbon future and support the Government of Canada's commitment to the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change. From supporting cleaner electricity generation and novel renewable power technologies, to investing in clean technology research, development, and demonstration such as electric vehicle charging technologies, these investments are setting Canada on a path to sustainable economic growth and a low-carbon future.

Electric Vehicles and Alternative Fuels:

The Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Demonstration Program component further facilitates uptake of EV infrastructure through funding 10 real-world demonstrations of next-generation charging infrastructure and to address barriers for EV adoption in the urban environment, (e.g. at multi-unit residential buildings and for people without dedicated parking, curbside chargers), at workplaces and for public transit. Projects are also advancing innovative solutions such as demonstrations of bi-directional charging technology (from vehicle to grid). Additionally, in 2018-19 the program issued a second call for funding that yielded 42 proposals, from which 28 projects were recommended for funding. A third call for proposals is planned for 2019-20.
The Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Initiative supports efforts to put more zero-emission vehicles on the road. As a result of this program, 134 electric vehicle charging stations and 4 natural gas charging stations are open to the public. Projects are currently in place to deliver 526 EV fast-chargers, 12 natural gas and six hydrogen stations, and by 2024 this program will deliver at least 1000 new EV fast chargers, 22 natural gas and 15 hydrogen refueling stations.

Energy Efficient Buildings:

The Energy Efficient Buildings Research, Development, and Demonstration Program is investing $64.1M in research, development, and demonstration projects of net-zero energy ready technologies and practices to reduce costs and drive adoption by Canada's construction industry. The first call for funding was completed in 2018-19 which resulted in 13 projects selected for funding ($15M). Approved projects include the Nunavut Arctic College Student Residence Deep Energy Retrofit to save energy and cut pollution; and, the Sundance Housing Cooperative to retrofit of 59 townhouses in Edmonton to be net-zero ready. Other calls for funding will occur on a biennial basis until funds are fully allocated. In addition, the Local Energy Efficiency Partnerships (LEEP) initiative created and delivered 17 Forums and Workshops involving 1000 participants in seven provinces (BC, AB, SK, ON, NB, PEI, NS & NL). These events enabled innovative and efficient builder-selected technologies and practices to be adopted into high performance builds and renovations.
The Energy Efficient Buildings program supports energy efficiency improvements in the commercial and institutional buildings sector. In 2018-2019 this resulted in a savings of 4.2 PJ, and 0.35 MT of GHG emissions being avoided. The program supports the ongoing work to develop model building codes for new and existing homes, and the ENERGY STAR® Certification for industrial facilities and commercial and institutional buildings which launched in March 2018. ENERGY STAR® certified industrial facilities and commercial and institutional buildings meet strict higher energy performance standards set by Natural Resources Canada. As a result, they use less energy, are less expensive to operate, and generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions than non-ENERGY STAR® certified buildings and facilities.

Emerging Renewable Power Program (ERPP):

Budget 2017 provided $200 million over five years for the Emerging Renewable Power Program, starting in 2018/2019, for commercially-ready renewable energy projects that have been widely deployed abroad but not yet in Canada or that have been successfully demonstrated in Canada, but not yet widely deployed. Depending on the technology, proponents are reimbursed for up to 50% of their total project expenditures. The program has announced funding for three projects, including a tidal project in Nova Scotia, a geothermal energy project in Saskatchewan and a bifacial solar project in Alberta. As these projects have yet to commission, there are no results to report against the “increase in MW capacity” performance indicator. The first of these projects is expected to commission in March 2020. The average level of leverage of federal to stakeholder investment across the three announced projects is 1:3.

Clean Energy for Rural and Remote Communities (CERRC):

In Budget 2017, CERRC received $220 million in funding to be used over six years, starting in 2018/2019. A project may start at any time, but must be completed by the end of the program by March 31, 2024. To be eligible for reimbursement, project costs must relate to work done during the period of April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2024. Similar to results from ERPP, CERRC has no installed MW capacity to report on. This is due to the fact that no projects have yet been commissioned. There are 72 renewable energy and capacity building projects moving forward to date, and 38 contribution agreements have been signed. The 40 MW installed capacity target is anticipated to be met by the end of the program.

Smart Grids Program:

Budget 2017 allocated $100 million over 4 years, starting April 1, 2018 to support next generation smart grid, storage and clean electricity technology demonstration and deployment projects. The program supports the demonstration of promising, near-commercial smart grid technologies ($35 million), and the deployment of smart grid integrated systems ($65 million). The terms and conditions of the program (including five years post-project monitoring) will expire on March 31, 2028. The program is advancing 31 smart grid projects with 24 contribution agreements signed to date. No projects have been completed to date, as such, there are no avoided Mt of GHGs to report. This indicator will only be able to be quantified once projects are built and operational.

Building Regional Adaptation Capacity and Expertise (BRACE) and National Scale Knowledge:

Budget 2017 provided $18M over five years towards the Building Regional Adaptation Capacity and Expertise (BRACE) program and National Scale Knowledge activities. BRACE established 16 regional projects which are building skills and expertise among communities, organizations, small and medium-sized enterprises and practitioners to apply climate change considerations into operations and practice in order to increase climate resilience.

Parks Canada

A total of 35 proposals were received for 2018-19 of which 25 new projects were approved for a federal contribution of $1.25 million under the Investing in Canada Plan. In addition to these, 6 projects approved in 2017-18 and one project approved in 2016-17 were completed in 2018-19. By March 31, 2019, 32 projects had been completed for a federal contribution of $2.098 million and a total value of $7.89 million invested in heritage places. This brings the total spending on projects under the Investing in Canada Plan to $17.3 million.

Public Health Agency of Canada

In 2017-18, 77 Aboriginal Head Start in Urban and Northern Communities capital and quality improvement projects were approved, as a part of the Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care program. Out of the 77 approved projects, 12 were completed in 2017-18, and 53 projects were completed in 2018-19 resulting in 65 being completed to date. The remaining 12 projects have requested to roll over their funding to complete their projects in 2020-21. Investments in capital and quality improvement projects through flexible funding provisions have improved the quality and safety of early learning environments for Indigenous children and families.

The Public Health Agency's regional offices are working with Indigenous recipients to monitor the progress and results of these investments.

Transport Canada

National Trade Corridors Fund:

The National Trade Corridors Fund (NTCF) is investing $2 billion to strengthen the efficiency and resilience of Canada's transportation system by addressing bottlenecks, adding capacity, and improving its ability to adapt to a changing climate. Program funding is delivered through competitive, multi-phase calls for proposals. Two additional NTCF calls for proposals were launched for transportation projects in the Territorial North and to diversify trade and increase international exports.

Modernizing Transportation: Connected and Automated Vehicle Regulatory Support Initiative (Motor Vehicle Safety):

Transport Canada is advancing their knowledge of safety-critical automated driving technologies. Specifically, the funding of $1M has been used to conduct crash avoidance tests on different vehicles equipped with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), AEB with pedestrian detection and cyclist detection and Lane Keeping Assistance initiatives. Approximately 2,068 tests on 19 light passenger vehicles occurred in the 2018-19 FY.

Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Off-Road Regulations:

Transport Canada's Heavy-Duty Vehicle Off-Road Regulations is fully reported through Environment and Climate Change Canada's Horizontal Management Framework for Clean Growth and Climate Change. Total funding for 2018-19 was $545 000, which was used for the development of standards at the international level through the United Nations.

Ferry Services Contribution Program:

Transport Canada's Ferry Services Contribution Program will invest $278.3M by 2021-22 to support safe and reliable ferry service for three inter-provincial routes in Eastern Canada. The three routes provide essential services to residents, link communities and support regional economies. We are responsible for capital investments including four ferry vessels and six ferry terminals to support these services, and maintain our regulatory requirements. As of March 2019, 60 projects have been approved, 27 projects have been started and 21 projects have been completed.

Oceans Protection Plan:

The Oceans Protection Plan (OPP) is a five year Plan that is investing $1.5B through 2021-22 to better position Canada's marine safety system to prevent and respond to marine safety and pollution incidents, protect and restore marine habitats and ecosystems in key strategic areas, increase the participation of Indigenous groups within Canada's marine sector, and increase knowledge of the behaviour and impacts of oil.

The Program to Advance Connectivity and Automation in the Transportation System (ACATS):

Transport Canada is providing $10.5M over five years to help Canadian jurisdictions prepare for the technical, regulatory and policy issues emerging as a result of connected and automated vehicles (CAV). The Program supports CAV research, studies, capacity building, and standards development. The program's call for proposals closed on November 30, 2017 and the funding has been fully allocated. As of March 2019, fifteen projects have been approved, all have commenced, and two projects have been completed. The full list of projects is available on Transport Canada's website here.

Response to audits conducted by the Auditor General (including to the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development)

2018 Spring Report of the Auditor General of Canada 4—Replacing Montréal’s Champlain Bridge—Infrastructure Canada

The Audit of Replacing Montreal’s Champlain Bridge was tabled in spring 2018. This audit focused on whether Infrastructure Canada managed selected aspects of the new Champlain Bridge project to meet the objective of delivering a durable bridge on time and in a cost-effective manner.

The Auditor General concluded that Infrastructure Canada did not plan the replacement of the existing Champlain Bridge in a cost effective manner.

It also concluded that Infrastructure Canada did not adequately manage selected procurement risks to mitigate cost overruns and delays. Moreover, the private partner’s ability to meet the revised completion date of 21 December 2018 remained uncertain. With respect to the bridge’s durability, the Department had no assurance that the new bridge would meet the expected service life of 125 years at the time it signed the contract with the private partner. However, from the OAG’s examination of certain components, it found no evidence that the bridge would not last the expected service life.
There were five recommendations for Infrastructure Canada.

Recommendation	4.29 To avoid service disruptions and unnecessary expenditures, Infrastructure Canada should analyze the life-cycle costs of the infrastructure assets in its portfolio and should plan effectively for timely replacements.
The Department’s response	Agreed. Infrastructure Canada, in its oversight role for the Crown corporations under the Infrastructure and Communities portfolio, which includes The Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated, will work collaboratively to review the life-cycle asset management.
Action taken in 2018-19	The Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated is in the process of developing life-cycle based plans for all of its structures. 4.44 Before deciding which procurement model to adopt for future large infrastructure projects, Infrastructure Canada should analyze the key project-specific aspects when conducting a qualitative analysis, and evaluate their costs; use best practices, sound assumptions, and evidence-based data from relevant past projects to better evaluate the risks and assumptions used in the value-for-money analysis; and perform a sound sensitivity analysis to inform decision makers about the variability of expected costs and benefits
The Department’s response	Agreed. Infrastructure Canada completed a business case, which concluded that the appropriate procurement model for the new Champlain Bridge project was a design-build-finance-operate-maintain contract, a form of public-private partnership widely used in Canada and internationally for large capital projects. The conclusion was based on an analysis of risks determined by experts and the performance of sound sensitivity analysis using best industry practices. For future large infrastructure projects under its responsibility, Infrastructure Canada will determine key project-specific elements, risks and assumptions based on data from the new Champlain Bridge project and any other comparable Government of Canada projects, and the variability and probability of expected costs and benefits according to best industry practices.
Action taken in 2018-19	Procurement is part of the topics included in the extensive lessons exercise currently underway. 4.45 After completing the construction of the new Champlain Bridge, Infrastructure Canada should create realistic benchmarks for construction costs, risk evaluation, and efficiency rates in value-for-money analyses, for use in future requests for proposals for infrastructure projects.
The Department’s response	Agreed. Infrastructure Canada will examine the development of a benchmark in collaboration with Public Services and Procurement Canada. The benchmark will be developed against a representative sample of traditionally procured infrastructure projects on cost and time performance indicators.
Action taken in 2018-19	Construction of the bridge was substantially completed in June 2019, while construction on the rest of the corridor is not completed. Benchmarking will be completed once construction is complete. 4.62 When evaluating proposals for public-private partnership contracts under its responsibility, Infrastructure Canada should develop an evaluation approach that includes specifying the appropriate weights and minimum scores for assessing important technical project requirements, and requiring bidders to provide analysis or evidence that their proposals meet all critical technical requirements.
The Department’s response	Agreed. Infrastructure Canada will work with Public Services and Procurement Canada, as the federal contracting authority for major projects, in the development of weighted assessment criteria for the technical project requirements for all future design-and-build projects under its direct responsibility and those of the two Crown corporations under the Infrastructure and Communities portfolio, and determination of evidence required to ensure that bidders meet all critical technical requirements
Action taken in 2018-19	Evaluation of proposals is part of the topics included in the extensive lessons exercise currently underway. INFC is collaborating with PSPC to ensure that it is part of the lessons learned exercise and that early results will be shared with PSPC. 4.79 In future public-private partnership projects, Infrastructure Canada should minimize the number of project changes and approve them in a timely manner, to reduce the risk of cost overruns and delays.
The Department’s response	Agreed. Infrastructure Canada will continue to work with industry and other key stakeholders to minimize impacts while maximizing benefits for the community. In addition, the Department will apply lessons learned from the new Champlain Bridge project.
Action taken in 2018-19	Changes and management of changes are part of the lessons learned exercise currently on-going

Progress report and explanation of variances	The construction cost for Canada was estimated at between $3 billion and $5 billion. In 2015, the Government of Canada confirmed that the project cost was $4.239 billion. In June 2015, the Government of Canada entered into a 34 year contractual agreement with a private partner, Signature on the Saint–Lawrence Group. The private partner is responsible for carrying out the design, construction, financing, operation and maintenance work for the project. Following delays in the construction schedule due to challenges related to the transportation of oversized pieces and strikes that affected the Quebec construction sector, in April 2018 the Government of Canada reached an agreement in the amount of $235 million with the private partner. This agreement sets the delivery date of the new Champlain Bridge as December 21, 2018, covers additional measures to meet this date, and ends the lawsuit filed by the private partner in Quebec Superior Court. Additional delays to the construction schedule took place over the 2018 construction season. It was later announced that the New Champlain Bridge would be in service no later than June 2019. In November 2018, the new Île-des-Soeurs Bridge, an important component of the corridor project, was opened to traffic. In December 2018 it was announced that the new structure would be called the Samuel De Champlain Bridge.
