6.2 Defence infrastructure is well-managed throughout its lifecycle
Link to the department’s Program Inventory: Program 6.1 - Defence Infrastructure Program Management
Purpose and objectives of transfer payment program The Department of National Defence (DND) uses the CAP to optimize its infrastructure by seeking cost-effective solutions with eligible recipients who have the mandate and capacity to operate and maintain the infrastructure and who may also benefit from joint use opportunities. Contributions are made to:
- Upgrade infrastructure (e.g., roads, sidewalks, and sewers in residential quarters; water treatment plants and water distribution systems that serve operational and non-operational requirements) after it has been transferred from DND to the eligible Recipient;
- Expand and/or upgrade existing local infrastructure to better support DND requirements (e.g., water treatment plants, water distribution systems, airport runway extensions, roads); and/or
- Construct new local infrastructure, such as:
- Community-oriented facilities for shared-use by the Base/Wing and local authorities (e.g., arenas, gymnasiums, swimming pools, community centres);
- Infrastructure to support non-operational requirements such as residential accommodation (e.g., roads, sidewalks, sewers); and
- Infrastructure to support operational requirements (e.g., new access to the Base/Wing).
Results achieved: Results achieved include:
- Collaborating with local authorities to upgrade/expand/construct and own and operate public infrastructure and services that DND requires;
- Reducing DND non-core infrastructure, minimizing DND liability and reducing future operating and capital costs by transferring the responsibility of municipal infrastructure to local municipalities;
- Improved/new/maintained infrastructure for use by DND members and their families;
- Supporting DND’s operational requirements by contributing to the optimization of municipal infrastructure in use by DND’s evolving force structure; and
- Enhancing the quality of life in the Canadian Armed Forces.
Findings of audits completed in 2022-23: There was no audit completed in 2022-23.

Engagement of applicants and recipients in 2022-23: A two-step contribution agreement is used to facilitate and encourage recipients to engage early in the process as DND can now transfer funds at the design stage via a first contribution agreement. Once the design and any other aspects (e.g., asset transfer) are agreed upon, a second contribution agreement can be signed with the recipient and the project can be implemented.

As a result, project kick-off was delayed and actual spending was less than planned in the first year. In 2022-23, the city was able to make up most of the difference and get the project back on track. | |||||
Contribution in Support of Various Sexual Assault Centres in Canada – Voted Payments

Link to departmental result(s):
3.2 The health and well-being of the Defence Team is well supported

Link to the department’s Program Inventory: Program 3.3 - Total Health Care
Purpose and objectives of transfer payment program- To provide financial support to not-for-profit sexual assault centres in locations within close proximity of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) bases in order to augment victim services and programs for all members of the Defence Team who require support, such as CAF members, DND civilian employees, CAF family members and members of the Cadet Program. This contribution program was replaced by the Grant in Support of the Community Support for Sexual Misconduct Survivors Program, its last year was fiscal year 2022-23.
Results achieved: In fiscal year 2022-23, the Sexual Assault Centre contribution program maintained agreements with eight Sexual Assault Support Centres across Canada (one recipient withdrew from the program in June 2022). Through the funding provided by these agreements, these centres were able to provide crucial services to survivors in the wider CAF community so that they are better able to cope with the effects of sexual misconduct. Such programs and services include: crisis counselling, individual and group counselling, and support groups for people who have experienced sexual violence, specialized services to Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and additional sexually and gender diverse (2SLGBTQI+) individuals. In addition, the centres supported community outreach and education; advocacy to assist victims in the areas of healing, trauma, victim support, health care, employment, criminal justice system, and legal rights and responsibilities. The services help achieve the program goal of increasing accessibility to victim support and strengthen collaboration between community-based and CAF-linked service providers.
Findings of audits completed in 2022-23: Two recipient audits were completed in 2022-23. There were no program audits this fiscal year.
Findings of evaluations completed in 2022-23: There is no planned evaluation. The Treasury Board (TB) Policy on Results exempts ongoing programs of grants and contributions that have five-year average actual expenditures of less than $5M per year from the five-year reviews required under section 42.1 of the Financial Administration Act.
Engagement of applicants and recipients in 2022-23: Over fiscal year 2022-23, the SMSRC engaged regularly with all recipients of the contribution program to ensure they received the support they needed to execute their projects, while enabling claims and progress reporting. Additional human resources were brought on to the contribution team and have served as the main liaisons for the Sexual Assault Support Centres. All communications continued to be carried out virtually on account of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ongoing engagement allowed recipients to meet program goals and understand financial and reporting processes, while building relationships essential to support survivors in the CAF and broader CAF community. In summer 2022, the Contribution Team hosted a roundtable with recipients of the program to promote the sharing of lessons learned, best practices, and project summaries.
