Planning highlights

FCSAP Phase III (2016–17 to 2019–20) will focus remediation efforts on the highest-priority federal sites (including Giant and Faro Mines in the North). From April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019 remediation activities will be conducted on an estimated 603 sites and these activities will reduce liability by $384,290,657. Site assessments will occur on an estimated 197 sites.

Addressing Air Pollution

General Information

Name of horizontal initiative

Addressing Air Pollution (AAP)

Lead department(s)

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC)

Federal partner organization(s)

Health Canada, National Research Council of Canada

Non-federal and non-governmental partner(s)

The implementation of the Air Quality Management System (AQMS) is a federally-led collaborative process with provinces and territories, with involvement of and in consultation with Indigenous peoples, health and environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and industry.

Start date of the horizontal initiative

April 1, 2016

This initiative is a continuation of previous work conducted under the Clean Air Regulatory Agenda (CARA) which was in place from 2006–07 to 2015–16.

Current investments include funding provided in Budget 2016. Budget 2017 approved additional funding for this initiative starting in April 2018.

End date of the horizontal initiative

This initiative is ongoing, and funded through two budget submissions. Budget 2016 provided funding for the science and reporting activities for five years and ongoing, and provided funding for policy and analysis, mitigation actions, and indoor air quality activities for two years (2016–17 to 2017–18).

For 2018–19, Budget 2017 provided funding for policy and analysis activities for four years and ongoing. It also provided funding for mitigation activities for outdoor and indoor air quality for four years and ongoing.

Description of the horizontal initiative

Air pollution threatens the health of Canadians, degrades the environment, and can reduce economic productivity. It is linked with increased incidences of stroke, heart disease and acute respiratory diseases, and it exacerbates conditions such as asthma and diabetes, with subsequent increases in hospital admissions, emergency room visits and premature mortality. Outdoor air pollution also affects wildlife, ecosystems and vegetation, structures, and leads to reduced visibility. Indoor air pollution exposure is of particular concern given Canadians spend approximately 90% of their time indoors.

This initiative aims to improve air quality and health in Canada, and provide Canadians with the tools to make informed decisions to reduce their exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollutants. Activities to be undertaken include:

  1. Scientific and reporting activities to provide the foundation for credible, relevant and timely policy and regulation development, administration, and enforcement; and to provide air quality information to Canadians.
  2. Policy and analysis activities to provide the strategic advice and economic and health benefit analysis necessary to develop effective policy and regulatory measures; to continue to work with provinces, territories and other stakeholders to address domestic air pollution, and to continue working with the U.S. under the bilateral Air Quality Agreement and with other countries in international for a such as the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution to reduce transboundary sources of air pollution.
  3. Mitigation actions for outdoor air quality include developing and implementing new regulatory and non-regulatory instruments to reduce emissions from industrial, transportation and consumer products sectors and equipment types, and continuing to administer and update existing instruments.
  4. Mitigation actions for indoor air quality include communication and outreach activities through HC’s and NRC’s indoor air quality programs to inform Canadians of the health risks of indoor air pollution and to encourage personal actions to reduce these risks in homes and buildings, including at schools and workplaces.

Governance structures

ECCC provides overall program coordination. Officials responsible for key program components from participating departments meet as required to discuss overarching issues and key decisions.

Horizontal Management Framework for Clean Growth and Climate Change: Mitigation and Adaptation

General Information

Name of horizontal initiative

Horizontal Management Framework (HMF) for Clean Growth and Climate Change: Mitigation and Adaptation

Lead department(s)

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC)

Federal partner organization(s)

Non-federal and non-governmental partner(s)

National Indigenous Organizations

Start date of the horizontal initiative

In support of the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change (PCF), ECCC sought authorities for clean growth and climate change horizontal initiatives for the twelve years (2016-17 to 2027-28): $2,300M for climate change Mitigation (including Low Carbon Economy Fund from 2017-18 to 2021-22) and $128M for Adaptation. International Cooperation sought authorities from 2016-17 to 2020-21 for $94,7M and $7,3M ongoing from 2021-2022.

End date of the horizontal initiative

The HMF for Clean Growth and Climate Change will continue until March 31, 2028.

Description of the horizontal initiative

The Government of Canada has begun implementing its Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change. This involves a number of horizontal initiatives that will help Canada meet its 2030 targets under the Paris Accord. Measures include climate change mitigation, building resilience and promoting clean technology, international leadership and innovation.

Governance structures

Environment and Climate Change Canada provides overall horizontal coordination for the Clean Growth and Climate Change horizontal initiative. Senior-level interdepartmental committees at the Assistant Deputy Minister and Deputy Minister levels will provide oversight and ensure alignment with PCF reporting, as well as with other horizontal and departmental processes toward ensuring consistent and effective reporting on results.
