Section II: Analysis of Programs by Strategic Outcomes

Transport Canada^Endnote has three Strategic Outcomes that reflect the long term and enduring benefits to Canadians that stem from its mandate and vision. As the department strives towards these outcomes, Transport Canada can report progress in relation to expected results,^{Footnote 3} performance indicators^{Footnote 4} and targets^{Footnote 5} in line with the Program Alignment Architecture (PAA). What distinguishes the different levels of a PAA is the scope and reach of the programs at those levels.  The Program level has a broad scope and area of societal intervention, while the sub-program (SP) level has a more limited and specific focus on a smaller target group and area of intervention.

This section describes how the department plans to meet its expected results and presents the financial and non-financial resources that it will dedicate to each program in the coming year. This section also identifies Transport Canada initiatives that are included in the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy.

Strategic Outcome 1: An Efficient Transportation System

An efficient transportation system supports trade, economic prosperity and an enhanced quality of life through low costs, high productivity, the best use of all modes and innovation in transportation. Transport Canada promotes an efficient transportation system in Canada by modernizing marketplace frameworks so that the transportation sector can adapt, innovate and remain competitive; developing and implementing gateways and corridors initiatives; ensuring the renewal of federal transportation infrastructure; encouraging innovation in the transportation sector; and partnering with provinces, territories, municipal governments, and public and private sector entities in various transportation initiatives.

The following Programs and sub-programs support this Strategic Outcome:

Program 1.1:  Transportation Marketplace Frameworks

Description: The Transportation Marketplace Framework Program encourages transportation efficiency by fostering a competitive and viable transportation sector. The Program sets regimes governing the economic behaviour of carriers in all modes of transportation; sets the rules of governance for all the transportation infrastructure providers falling under federal authority; monitors, analyzes, researches, and reports on the transportation system; promotes innovation in transportation; enables access to transportation for Canadians; represents the interests of Canada in trade negotiations, international transportation fora and other international bodies; promotes access to markets in the context of international trade; and fulfills certain federal responsibilities with regard to the International Bridges and Tunnels Act^Endnote .

Sub-program 1.1.1:  Air Marketplace Framework

Description:  The Air Marketplace Framework program encourages transportation efficiency by fostering a competitive and viable air industry, including airlines, airports and NAV CANADA. It provides opportunities for Canadian airlines to grow and compete successfully in a more liberalized global environment and sets the governance regimes of national air infrastructure providers. Program activities include establishing laws and regulations (e.g. Canada Transportation Act, Air Canada Public Participation Act) governing the economic behaviour of air carriers and air infrastructure providers; encouraging competition and the development of new and expanded international air services to benefit travellers, shippers, and the tourism and business sectors by managing bilateral and multilateral air service relations; working collaboratively with other government departments and industry stakeholders to promote air transport facilitation policies and initiatives in support of broader Government of Canada industry, trade, travel and tourism objectives, such as Gateways and Corridors Initiatives and the Blue Sky international air policy; and representing the interests of the Canadian aviation sector at the International Civil Aviation Organization.

Sub-program 1.1.2:  Marine Marketplace Framework

Program 3.7:  Marine Security

Description:  The Marine Security Program, under the authority of the Marine Transportation Security Act, develops, administers and oversees the policies, regulations and standards necessary for the secure conduct of marine activities in a manner consistent with international standards. The Program promotes security within the marine transportation system, provides oversight of the regulated marine transportation industry and enforces international conventions signed by Canada. The Program coordinates marine security policy and regulatory development across the Government of Canada through its leadership of the Interdepartmental Marine Security Working Group and associated activities.

Sub-program: 3.7.1:  Marine Security Regulatory Framework

Description:  The Marine Security Regulatory Framework program provides a balance of tools (policies, guidelines, regulations and standards) to promote a harmonized maritime security regulatory framework for Canadians and the marine industry.

Sub-program 3.7.2:  Marine Security Oversight

Description:  The Marine Security Oversight program is risk-based and supports marine security industry compliance with the regulatory framework through services, assessments and validations, inspections, audits, and, when necessary, enforcement.

Sub-program 3.7.3:  Marine Security Operations Centres

Description: The Marine Security Operations Centres program works to detect, assess, and support a response to threats in Canada’s maritime domain and approaches as a key partner in the Marine Security Operations Centres, by conducting threat and risk assessments of vessels entering Canadian waters and threat assessments of facilities within Canada. The Centres also serve as a maritime-centric interface between national and international partners and stakeholders, and support the Marine Security Oversight program.  Transport Canada is a partner in the Marine Security Operations Centres, along with the Canada Border Services Agency, the Canadian Coast Guard, the Department of National Defence and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The threat assessment, and the risk assessment performed by inspectors, provides the basis for the establishment of restricted areas within marine facilities and subsequent access control. Only those who have acquired a Marine Transportation Security Clearance would have access to restricted areas. The access control systems would be audited and tested by inspectors in the regions. Failure to control access could lead to enforcement.
