The planned spending over the three-year period is diminishing mainly because
of: a decrease in the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority capital budget;
a programmed increase for 2006-07 only to cover an operating shortfall for
Marine Atlantic Incorporated; the continued divestiture of ports and airports;
the winding down of transfer payment programs such as the Strategic Highway
Infrastructure Program and Action plan 2000 for Climate Change; and increasing
annual reductions for efficiency and procurement imposed by the Expenditure
Review Committee of Cabinet.
- The Forecast spending for 2005-2006 reflects actual spending
as published in the Public Accounts.
- The Planned Spending amounts represent the sum of the Main
Estimates and the adjustments planned for each fiscal year.
- For more details, see Table 7 Sources of Respendable and
Non-Respendable Revenue.

Charge.

Expected Results
|
Amendments to the Aeronautics Act are
underway to address fatigue management, liability insurance,
aviation companies' management systems, analysis and reporting of
safety data, and new compliance and enforcement tools. |
Modernized legislative requirements to respond to industry needs. |
New series of Canadian Aviation Regulations
amendments to introduce a requirement for airports, flight training
units and smaller commercial operations to have a safety management
system in place that integrates operations and technical systems
with financial and human resource management. |
Safe operations and compliance with the Canadian Aviation Regulations. |
New Canadian Aviation Regulations incorporating
fatigue risk management systems into aviation maintenance
organizations. These regulations are an extension of the safety
management system approach to managing risks in the aviation
environment. |
Enhanced aviation safety due to a reduction of incidents related to
operator fatigue. |
Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 - Occupant Restraint
Systems in Frontal Impact: Further
research and a cost-benefit study are underway to ensure that seat
belts and air bags are designed to provide optimal protection to
belted occupants and that any injuries due to occupant protection
system are minimized. |
Annual reduction of 12 fatalities and 44 serious injuries due to
advanced seat belts and air bags. |
Regulatory reform under the Canada Shipping Act,
2001 (CSA 2001), is proceeding in a two-phase approach.
Over 50 existing regulations will be overhauled into 17 regulations
in Phase I, and the modernization of the remaining regulations will
take place in Phase II. Phase I focuses on those that are
needed to bring the act into force and is expected to be completed
by early 2007. Phase II will concentrate on the existing
regulations that are consistent with the act; generally, these
regulations need only to be updated and modernized and not
overhauled as those in Phase I. |
A twenty-first century shipping law to promote safety on board vessels
and to protect the marine environment in the context of a healthy,
competitive marine industry. |
Transport Canada's pollution prevention program will undergo a major
update through the introduction of the Regulations for the
Prevention of Pollution from Ships and for Dangerous Chemicals (new)
under the existing Canada Shipping Act (CSA).
Once finalized, these new Regulations will put Canada in a position
to accede to the optional Annexes IV, V and VI of the International
Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Shipping (MARPOL)
and the Anti-fouling Systems Convention. |

More streamlined and harmonized regulations. |
Pursuant to the Pilotage Act, the four
pilotage authorities have to provide safe and efficient pilotage
services. The proposed amendments to their Pilotage
Regulations result from distinct pilotage risk studies
carried out by these authorities since 2001, on a series of
recommendations contained in the 1999 report of the Ministerial
review of pilotage issues. The various regulatory initiatives aim at
improving pilotage practices and procedures in the four pilotage
regions to the benefit of service users. |
Safe and efficient pilotage service to commercial vessels in Canadian
compulsory pilotage waters. |
Marine Transportation Security Clearance Program:
Amendments to the Marine Transportation Security Regulations
to increase marine transportation security in Canadian marine
facilities by requiring workers with certain key duties affecting
security or cargo movement to obtain a transportation security
clearance (TSC) from Transport Canada. In addition, workers
requiring access to certain restricted areas will also be required
to obtain a TSC. This initiative is being implemented in the ports
of Vancouver, Halifax and Montreal, and will closely parallel
requirements now in place in Canadian airports. |
Implementation of the infrastructure (including effective regulatory
framework), required to process the Marine Transportation Security
Clearances. |

Table 13: Sustainable Development Strategy
Department: Transport Canada |
Points to address |
Departmental Input |
- How does your department/agency plan to incorporate
sustainable development principles into your mission, vision,
policy and day-to-day operations?
|
Transport Canada's Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) is the
department's plan for incorporating sustainable development
principles into its policies, programs and operations. The
department's mission and vision address the three pillars of
sustainable development: economy, environment and society. Transport
Canada will continue to promote a sustainable transportation system
for Canada, one that is efficient, safe, secure and environmentally
responsible (see section 2.1.3 for more information). |
- What Goals, Objectives and Targets from your most
recent SDS will you be focusing on this year? How will you
measure your success?
|
TC has seven strategic challenges:
- Encourage Canadians to make more sustainable transportation
choices
- Enhance innovation and skills development
- Increase system efficiency and optimize modal choices
- Enhance efficiency of vehicles, fuels, and fuelling
infrastructure
- Improve performance of carriers and operators
- Improve decision-making by governments and the
transportation sector
- Improve management of Transport Canada operations and lands.
The strategy identifies a total of 173 targets, which are
reported on an annual basis. The 2004-2006 targets are available
online at
www.tc.gc.ca/programs/
environment/sd/sds0406/menu.htm. To gauge the success of the
SDS, Transport Canada annually reports the progress made towards
completing commitments and targets, each of which has specific
performance measures.
|
- Identify any sustainable development tools, such as
Strategic Environmental Assessments or Environmental Management
Systems that will be applied over the next year.
|
Transport Canada's Strategic Environmental Assessment and
Environmental Management Systems are important parts of how the
department carries out its decision-making processes and day-to-day
operations. The department will continue to apply these tools over
the next year. The Sustainable Transportation Lens is being
developed as part of a commitment in the current SDS. It will be
studied over the next year as to its potential for wider
applications.
