⁵ The Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are collectively termed “Defence”. The National Defence Act (http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/N-5/page-4.html) recognizes both Canadian Forces (CF) and Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) as appropriate titles for the organization. The term Canadian Forces has been used in this report when necessary to accurately reflect the legal or formal title of a program, document, or similar reference.

¹³ Notes on Human Resources (Full-Time Equivalents):

• FTE assumptions in this RPP are used as the basis for the allocation of approved financial resources for personnel in the 2014-15 Annual Reference Level Update (ARLU). The ARLU is the basis for financial information reported in both the Main Estimates and the Report on Plans and Priorities
• These planning figures may be readjusted over the reporting period due to:
  • personnel requirements not yet approved at the time this document was prepared, and/or
  • the implementation of Budget 2014 change initiatives.
• Planned FTE figures are based on planned establishment numbers.
• Due to rounding, the planned HR figures may not add up to the totals shown by Program in Section II.
• Regular Force:
  • Regular Force personnel strength is measured by total strength and includes Vote 5 funded personnel and approximately 1,100 members on leave without pay (80% related to parental leave).
    • Vote 5 funds are for Government contingencies, supplementing other appropriations to provide the Government with sufficient flexibility to meet miscellaneous, urgent or unforeseen departmental expenditures between Parliamentary supply periods.
  • While the Regular Force strength target remains 68,000 in accordance with government direction, the Regular Force is currently about 1,000 personnel under strength due to a slight increase in attrition.Given recruiting and training capacity, it will take some years to recover. Accordingly, the annual reference level update will forecast an average of personnel expected to be in the Regular Force across the year. Accordingly the ARLU figures will differ from the Regular Force targets above.
• Civilian:
  • The civilian workforce is planned through a salary wage envelope (SWE). For reporting purposes, the civilian workforce is measured by full-time equivalents (FTE). The FTE total includes all personnel tenure (indeterminate, term, casual and student employees) actively employed and calculated as person year. For example, two part-time employees sharing one position would count as one FTE.
  • Planned civilian FTEs include Vote 5 funded personnel: 924 for FY 2014-15 and 906 for FY 2015-16 and 903 for FY 2016-17.
  • Planned civilian FTEs do not include: i) personnel on leave without pay, or ii) the National Defence and Canadian Forces Ombudsman or the National Search and Rescue Secretariat.
  • Civilian workforce planned full-time equivalents are subject to final budgetary approval.

¹⁴ Notes on Human Resources (Reserve Force Personnel):

• The Primary Reserve are those personnel working in various capacities with the Canadian Armed Forces where Class A reservists perform part-time work and training, Class B reservists are employed full-time or perform full-time training for more than 14 consecutive days, and Class C reservists are employed full-time but with the equivalent pay, benefits and liability as a Regular Force member.
• The majority of Reservists serve on part-time (Class A) service. There is a significant reduction in Class A numbers during the summer as many personnel are away from their home units conducting training on short-term Class B status. In addition, some Primary Reserve members are inactive. For these reasons, total strength is not an accurate representation of those on duty. The portion of Primary Reserve that is on duty and receives payment is counted and reported as the Primary Reserve average paid strength (an annual monthly average).
• Primary Reserve average paid strength reporting, planning and allocations are based on monthly reports provided by Assistant Deputy Minister (Finance and Corporate Services)/Director Strategic Finance Costing and Assistant Deputy Minister (Information Management)/Director Human Resource Information Management (DHRIM).
• Further information on Primary Reserve Planned Expenditures can be found on the Reserve Force web page.
