From the Ministers

The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne
Minister of Foreign Affairs

The Honourable Mary Ng
Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion and International Trade

The Honourable Karina Gould
Minister of International Development

Canadians expect their government to stand up for gender equality, democracy, human rights, the rule of law, and environmental sustainability – here in Canada and around the world.

By working with our longstanding international partners, 抖淫视频 protects and promotes these goals and advocates for the prosperity, security, and interests of Canadians.

Today’s global challenges, including climate change, threats to rules-based trade, mass migration and the difficulties facing the middle class require global solutions. At the same time, more and more countries are questioning the value of the rules-based international order. Through our foreign policy, Canada will continue to work to support multilateralism and ensure that multilateral institutions address today’s realities.

To ensure the interests of Canadians are heard on the world stage, we will advocate for reform and modernization in important international institutions such as the United Nations, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the World Trade Organization, the Commonwealth and the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie.

Our government remains committed to making these multilateral organizations more inclusive and diverse.

Furthermore, through our feminist foreign policy, we will always promote inclusion and fairness, further the rights of women and girls, and ensure that a gender lens is applied to all that we do, because we know this is the only way to ensure an effective foreign policy.

We’re also continuing to take steps to ensure we provide the best consular support possible to Canadians who need our help abroad.

Canada’s commitment to the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals is the foundation for prosperity and peace for Canadians today and for generations to come.

We want everyone, including women entrepreneurs, newcomers to Canada, young people, and Indigenous business owners to benefit from exporting our goods and services into global markets.

To help Canadian business owners, entrepreneurs, farmers, and producers thrive, we are increasing access to global markets through free and fair trade agreements. We’re also enhancing the Trade Commissioner Service — our global sales force to the world — and created the first-ever Women Entrepreneurship Strategy.

We know that no economy can perform at its best if half of the population is held back. That is why our government is empowering women and girls in Canada, as well as in developing countries through our Feminist International Assistance Policy.

We have put that policy into action, developing gender responsive humanitarian assistance, and providing support for women and children around the world to access quality education and healthcare, and advocate for their fundamental rights.

Together, we will continue to help build strong and stable economies, and peaceful societies around the world.

Plans at a glance

抖淫视频 will deliver results in support of the Government of Canada’s commitment to preserve and support Canadian prosperity and security in an increasingly uncertain and volatile world. Through a principled and pragmatic approach that promotes Canada’s interests, the department will ensure that advancing gender equality, fostering democracy, promoting and protecting human rights, encouraging respect for international law, and supporting environmental protection are at the centre of our feminist foreign policy. As it represents Canada in the world, the department will contribute to the safety and security of Canadians through timely and appropriate consular services. 

抖淫视频 will remain a strong voice for an inclusive and effective rules-based international order and the multilateral system that underpins it, collaborating with a diverse range of new and traditional partners in this regard. The department will support actions to reduce poverty, gender inequality and fragility in developing countries, and respond in a timely manner to humanitarian crises. Moreover, it will advance Canadian prosperity, including by working together with our trading partners abroad, and at home with Provinces, Territories and Indigenous communities to leverage Canadian expertise, and, keep our economy strong and growing.  In all its efforts, the department will aim to reinforce progress on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development^{Footnote i}.

We will achieve results for Canadians in a manner that is open, inclusive and transparent, exemplifying the best qualities of the public service. Our staff will innovate in finding solutions to pressing global challenges, and will engage with Canadians, civil society and other stakeholders, including businesses of all sizes, organized labour, research institutions and not-for-profits. We will work diligently to help positively shape the evolving global system to Canada’s advantage.

To support this work in 2020-21, the department will focus on four priorities:

1. Contributing to a Rules-Based International System that advances Canadian interests

Fostering a rules-based international system that is effective and that supports Canadian interests is an overarching objective of Canadian foreign policy. As such, 抖淫视频 will build new and innovative partnerships, continue to engage constructively with existing partners, and work multilaterally to protect, renew and adapt existing rules, norms, institutions and alliances to make the world safer, more just, prosperous, and sustainable. These efforts will include promoting our interests and sovereignty in the Canadian Arctic, and working in concert with our partners to uphold international law.

抖淫视频 will work bilaterally and multilaterally to drive positive change in areas such as promotion of democracy and human rights, the fight against climate change, support for environmental protection, and the pursuit of rules-based trade. It will work hard so that Canada’s voice and ideas are present when it matters, including by chairing the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission, by engaging in new forums like the Alliance for Multilateralism, and by seeking a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council in 2021–22. The department will make positive contributions to international peace and security through Canadian commitments to NATO and UN peacekeeping; advancing the Women, Peace and Security Agenda; work with diverse partners to address humanitarian crises, including in Venezuela; and support to countries at greater risk of facing natural disasters, exacerbated by the effects of climate change.

2. Pursuing diversified trade and supporting Canadian exporters

抖淫视频 will continue to promote rules-based trade internationally, negotiate modern free trade agreements, and pursue opportunities in global markets that diversify our trade, increase inward investment and benefit all Canadians. The department remains committed to an inclusive trade agenda that supports all segments of society in taking advantage of the economic opportunities flowing from enhanced trade and investment. The department will support Canadian businesses to access export opportunities abroad through the Trade Commissioner Service, including through the use of new tools and partnerships such as Canadian Technology Accelerators, e-commerce platforms and digital service delivery. The department will also create a new Canada Commercial Consular Service by drawing on existing resources to better support small- and medium-sized Canadian companies facing commercial or trade disputes.

We will also continue to address barriers to international trade and protect the market access interests of our companies abroad. Efforts to ensure that Canadian businesses reach new markets and benefit from the new opportunities created by Canada’s free trade agreements, such as the new Canada-United States-Mexico (CUSMA) Agreement, the Canada European Union Trade and Economic Agreement and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, will also intensify.

Consultations with stakeholders continue to inform 抖淫视频’s approach to trade in important areas such as transparency, labour rights, the environment, small and medium-sized enterprises, gender, and Indigenous peoples. The creation of the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise is an important innovation in this field. In parallel, the department will continue to work with the Invest in Canada Agency as well as provincial and municipal partners to attract foreign direct investment and reinforce Canada’s openness to international commerce, while also being mindful of potential risks. The department will continue to advance Canada’s growing science, technology and innovation cooperation with key partners and attract students from a diversity of countries to study across Canada.

3. Strengthening Canada’s bilateral relations

The Government of Canada is committed to further strengthening key bilateral relationships, and engaging new partners to address emerging challenges. 抖淫视频 will advance these relations based on core Canadian interests, including sovereignty, national security, economic prosperity, and the safety and security of Canadian citizens, and key values such as human rights and democracy. When engaging bilaterally, the department will continue to integrate and calibrate foreign, defence, development and trade policy priorities. Bilateral relations will also benefit from the continued revitalization of Canada’s public diplomacy, notably through 抖淫视频’s coordination of a new strategy on cultural diplomacy.

Canada will sustain strong relations with its two key partners and neighbours to the south — the United States and Mexico. With the U.S., Canada will further solidify its defence alliance, enhance cooperation on border management, trade, energy and climate change, and undertake joint efforts in response to security threats. With Mexico, 抖淫视频 will sustain its engagement with all levels of government, the private sector and civil society organizations, particularly on issues affecting the continent.

In Europe, the department will work closely with the EU and bilaterally, including with long-standing partners such as France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, to achieve common goals related to foreign affairs, international security, free and fair trade, and sustainable development.

Across Asia and the Pacific, 抖淫视频 will strengthen key bilateral partnerships to advance shared interests, for example by diversifying and deepening ties with Japan, South Korea, Singapore and India. Canada’s strategic engagement of the region will focus on shared interests and priorities with each country, from long-term development assistance programming, to promotion of a progressive trade agenda, to collaboration on complex security issues.

In the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean, and in Sub-Saharan Africa, the department will continue to engage bilaterally with both established and emerging partners. In these regions and beyond, 抖淫视频 will work with individual countries toward aspirations under the Sustainable Development Goals, and to address common challenges related to climate action and health crises.

4. Eradicating Poverty

抖淫视频 will implement the Feminist International Assistance Policy, promoting gender equality and empowering women and girls; investing in health, education, and climate change adaptation; and focusing humanitarian, development, and peace and security efforts on the poorest and most vulnerable. In this context, 抖淫视频 will deliver Canada’s international assistance in ways that support innovation and improve effectiveness, transparency, and accountability, and that reinforce Canada’s commitment to realizing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. In support of this, the department will adopt innovative financing approaches, such as those employed in the International Assistance Innovation Program, the Sovereign Loans Program and the Equality Fund.

International development programming will emphasize education—including by investing at least 10% of bilateral assistance on education and through targeted support to refugee or displaced children—and will continue to focus on the sexual and reproductive health rights of women and girls. It will also work at the intersection of women’s rights and climate adaptation, and address inequality generated by the unequal distribution of paid and unpaid care work. When responding to crises, 抖淫视频 will work with various partners so that humanitarian action supports the empowerment of women and girls.

For more information on 抖淫视频’s plans, priorities and planned results, see the “Planned results and resources” section of this report.

Core responsibilities: planned results and resources

This section contains detailed information on the department’s planned results and resources for each of its core responsibilities.

International advocacy and diplomacy

Description

抖淫视频 promotes Canada’s interests and values through policy development, diplomacy, advocacy, and effective engagement.

Planning highlights

At a time of unpredictability in the world, Canada will work to address fundamental global challenges and remain a strong voice championing the rules-based international system and the multilateral institutions that underpin it. 抖淫视频 will pursue a principled international agenda that prioritizes innovative partnerships and multilateral efforts, and that puts the following at the centre of its actions: democracy; human rights; gender equality; peace and security; international law; and environmental protection. The department will stand up for the priorities and interests that are core to Canada’s security and prosperity and will harness innovative and agile advocacy and diplomacy efforts to further advance its feminist foreign policy. This includes a special focus on cultural diplomacy. At the heart of the department’s engagement and action is the commitment to work with our partners to make progress on common global goals, including the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Women, Peace and Security Agenda.

Canada builds and maintains constructive relationships that advance Canada’s interests

抖淫视频 collaborates with a wide range of partners to address many of the most important challenges facing the world today. The department will strengthen key bilateral and regional relationships, reinforce Canada’s engagement within existing institutions and engage new partners to address emerging challenges. 抖淫视频 will continue to work alongside like-minded and new partner countries and put Canada’s expertise to work on a global scale, in areas including support abroad for democracy, human rights, international law and the fight against climate change. The department will strengthen Canada’s engagement, diplomacy and advocacy with bilateral partners and through multilateral organizations such as the United Nations, NATO, Organization of American States, the G7, the G20, international financial institutions, La Francophonie, the Commonwealth and regional organizations, such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

To further strengthen Canada’s relationship with the United States and Mexico, 抖淫视频 will engage with all levels of government, the private sector and civil society organizations. Importantly, this will include the ratification of the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). The department will support the Deputy Prime Minister’s work on Canada-U.S. relations, and help defend and promote issues important to Canadians, such as inclusive trade, investment, innovation, border management, security, defence, energy and the environment through targeted diplomacy and advocacy activities.

Similarly, the department will work closely with long-standing partners in Europe to achieve common goals across areas of foreign affairs, environmental sustainability, security and trade, including through ongoing implementation of the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement and the Strategic Partnership Agreement. In the context of the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union, the department will lead the whole-of-government approach to work closely with the United Kingdom to ensure key bilateral Canada-EU agreements are transitioned smoothly in Canada’s interest, while Canada continues to expand and enhance its productive relationship with the United Kingdom.

The department will support all international dimensions of Canada’s Arctic and Northern Policy Framework, engaging bilaterally, regionally and through multilateral forums (notably through the Arctic Council) to reinforce Canadian sovereignty over the Arctic, to protect and advance Canada’s interests in the north, and to create a future where northern and Arctic people are thriving, strong and safe. To this end, the department will continue to cooperate with Arctic States and other global partners and stakeholders on Arctic-related policy issues and practical initiatives.

Across Asia and the Pacific, 抖淫视频 will strengthen bilateral and regional relationships to advance shared interests, for example, by actively working with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Canada will continue its efforts to enhance peace and security in the region, with a strong focus on maritime security issues, Afghanistan, and the Korean Peninsula. Important themes of Canada’s bilateral engagements in the region will include long-term development assistance programming, promotion of a progressive trade agenda to further diversify exports within Asia, and collaborative efforts to establish a long-lasting and durable solution to the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar and Bangladesh. Further, 抖淫视频 will continue to promote Canadian priorities in its work with bilateral partners and with key regionals organizations, including APEC.

抖淫视频 will support the work of the Parliamentary Committee on China, the establishment of which reflects the importance of this bilateral relationship to the Canadian public. The department will also continue to vigorously support prime ministerial, ministerial and senior official advocacy regarding China’s detention of Canadians and measures targeting Canadian agricultural exports, and defence of Canada’s broader values and interest in China.

In concert with international partners and like-minded coalitions, 抖淫视频 remains committed to the goal of comprehensive, just and lasting peace and stability in the Middle East. The department will progress Canada’s relationships with key partner countries in the Middle East and Maghreb through bilateral and multilateral engagement rooted in Canadian values and mutual welfare. The department will continue its efforts to advance dialogue and democracy, promote trade and investment, and provide international assistance to help individuals and communities, including minorities, build resilience in the face of conflict and economic hardship, and enhance security and stabilization efforts.

In Latin America and the Caribbean, the department will work to strengthen and build partnerships that contribute to the prosperity and security of Canada and the hemisphere. Through its bilateral and multilateral initiatives, the department will lead in sharing Canadian best practices in the region while advancing a progressive feminist agenda that promotes gender equality, human rights, inclusive economic growth, regional economic integration and democratic governance. It will also advocate for increased climate resilience, particularly in the Caribbean.

Canada will also continue to press for a peaceful resolution to the crises in Venezuela and Nicaragua and will seek to respond to new challenges and opportunities in the region. For example, Canada will continue to play a leadership role in the Lima Group particularly in raising international awareness of the situation in Venezuela and in advocating for maintaining pressure on the Maduro regime. Canada and the Lima Group are leading a new approach that will offer a point of focus around which the international community can rally, one with the clear objective of free, fair and verifiable presidential elections.

Sub-Saharan Africa is home to six of the top ten fastest growing economies in the world and, with a young and entrepreneurial population, presents significant economic potential. As African countries are increasingly coordinated on global issues, Canada is engaging in dynamic partnerships to strengthen regional economic integration and trade relationships, support climate action, contribute to political stability, and advance democracy. This includes Canadian engagement with the African Union, Regional Economic Communities, La Francophonie, the Commonwealth, the United Nations and key stakeholders. Canada will also continue to deepen bilateral relationships to address national and regional challenges, and advance Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy and the Women, Peace and Security Agenda.

Canada’s leadership on global issues contributes to a just and inclusive world

抖淫视频 will work to make the world safer and more just, prosperous and sustainable. On the world stage, the department will sustain a strong Canadian focus on democracy, human rights, international law and freedom of the press. In the year ahead, Canada will build on its effective leadership and coordination of the G7 Rapid Response Mechanism to improve G7 capacity to identify, prevent and respond to foreign threats to democracy. In 2020, Canada will also host the second Global Conference for Media Freedom in Quebec City, bringing together governments, heads of international institutions, members of the press and civil society to discuss key issues including strengthening protections for journalists and media workers, countering disinformation and developing national frameworks and legislation to support media freedom.

To ensure the protection of all human rights, including freedom of religion or belief, Canada will continue to address rights comprehensively through the Office of Human Rights, Freedoms and Inclusion (OHRFI), encouraging a climate of inclusion and respect for diversity to advance the rights of those too often marginalized in social, economic, and civic life. The OHRFI will continue to regularly and meaningfully engage with diaspora and faith and belief communities, civil society actors, academics and the broader international community to inform its approach in advocating for human rights. Canada will continue its leadership and co-chairmanship of the International Contact Group on Freedom of Religion or Belief, an action-oriented multilateral group working toward the promotion and protection of freedom of religion or belief worldwide.

An important priority for Canada’s engagement is the development of sustainable and inclusive societies globally, grounded in gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls and in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Within this context, the department will work to advance gender equality, promote and protect the human rights of women and girls in all their diversity, marginalized and vulnerable groups, including LGBTQ2I persons, as well as human rights defenders and faith and belief communities. Through Canada’s new LGBTQ2I international assistance program, we will continue to advance and promote human rights and improve socio-economic outcomes for LGBTQ2I people in developing countries. Also, through multilateral engagements, including at the United Nations, the United Nations Human Rights Council, La Francophonie, the Commonwealth and the Organization of American States, 抖淫视频 will continue to put forward a strong agenda of inclusion and respect for diversity. The department will also champion human rights, both online and offline, and address international human rights abuses and violations, including, where appropriate, through the imposition of sanctions.

Furthermore, 抖淫视频 will advance its international peace and security interests through increasing efforts on conflict prevention, stabilization, and peacebuilding. The department will advance the global women, peace and security agenda; support integrated, peace-positive and conflict-sensitive engagement in fragile and conflict-affected states; and counter crime, terrorism and violent radicalization through multilateral frameworks and leadership in international institutions. Through the Elsie Initiative for Women in Peace Operations, Canada is collaborating with partners globally to increase the meaningful participation of uniformed women in UN peace operations. As part of this pilot project, Canada will advance its bilateral technical assistance and training partnerships with the Ghana Armed Forces and Zambia Police Service; continue to support UN Women’s Elsie Initiative Fund for Uniformed Women in Peace Operations; assist the Forces armées sénégalaises to implement their Gender Integration Strategy; and, continue to work with the UN, members of the Elsie Initiative Contact Group, and other partners to increase awareness and spur action to catalyze transformative change in increasing women’s meaningful participation in UN peace operations.

This effort also includes co-chairing the Global Counterterrorism Forum, renewing Canada’s commitment to NATO and to United Nations Peacekeeping, and active participation in regional security organizations, such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations regional forum and the Global Coalition against Daesh. Likewise, through renewal of the Middle East engagement strategy, 抖淫视频 will work with international partners to respond to crises in Iraq and Syria and address their impact on Lebanon, Jordan and the region through diplomatic engagement, promotion of security and stabilization as well as humanitarian and development assistance.

抖淫视频 will collaborate with bilateral partners and in multilateral forums to further shared agendas on combatting money laundering and terrorist financing, transnational crime, human trafficking, and on furthering counterterrorism, non-proliferation, arms control and disarmament. Canada will work with allies to promote a framework for strategic stability in cyber space based on the applicability of international law, norms of appropriate behaviour, and coordinated mechanisms to hold states to account for malicious cyber activity.

Canada helps build strong international institutions and respect for international law

Through advocacy, outreach and strategic engagement in multilateral forums and with national and international stakeholders, 抖淫视频 will strengthen the current rules-based international system by continuing to promote, develop and uphold international law, including international humanitarian law, international refugee law, international maritime law and international trade rules. As the representative of a nation committed to ensuring global accountability and preventing impunity, the department will actively engage with international institutions, such as the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, and the International Court of Justice to safeguard the international legal framework and meet its obligations.

抖淫视频 will also advance, prosecute for and defend Canada’s interests in the development and enforcement of international legal instruments and treaties and before dispute-settlement mechanisms. In this regard, the department will continue to engage in various international fora to promote increased transparency, consistency and predictability of decisions for investor-state dispute resolution. The department will also lead negotiations to develop a new treaty for bilateral and trilateral extradition and mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, while providing strategic international legal advice and services to the Government of Canada. 抖淫视频 will also intensify efforts to preserve and protect the dispute settlement mechanism of the WTO, including through its leadership in advancing temporary alternatives to the WTO’s Appellate Body while it remains inoperative.

抖淫视频 will strive to prevent and respond to global crises and work to optimize the capacity of international institutions to advance the international human rights architecture and support innovation and reforms to improve accountability, transparency, effectiveness and results. The department will harness Canadian expertise and collaboration with partners to realize these standards in international forums including the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, La Francophonie, and the Commonwealth. 抖淫视频 will work to improve peacebuilding capabilities and strengthen global conflict management efforts, particularly through its chairing of the UN Peacebuilding Commission and International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding. 抖淫视频 will work to enhance the effectiveness of international and Canadian sanctions regimes. The department will build on the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act (“Magnitsky sanctions regime”) to support victims of human rights violations including by developing a framework to transfer seized assets from those who commit grave human rights abuses to their victims, with appropriate judicial oversight.

抖淫视频 will also build on the Government of Canada’s efforts to strengthen Canadian leadership in the Arctic and support a rules-based international system in the Canadian North. The department will work to assert its Arctic sovereignty and implement the International Arctic Policy contained in the Northern Policy Framework, in close cooperation with domestic and international partners, such as the Arctic Council, territorial and provincial governments, and northern Indigenous peoples. In order to raise Canada’s positions and profile on northern issues, to promote Canada as a leader in Arctic science and research, and to strengthen environmental protection and sustainable socio-economic cultural development, the department will ensure substantive support for Canada’s role on the Arctic Council, work to more clearly define Canada’s Arctic boundaries and conduct targeted advocacy in Arctic and non-Arctic states.

In order to further strengthen Canada’s voice on global issues, the department will increase Canada’s campaign efforts for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for 2021-22. The department will advocate for Canada as an innovative and inclusive global partner, and, if elected, will prioritize sustaining peace, addressing climate change, promoting economic security, advancing gender equality and strengthening multilateralism.

Canada’s global influence is expanded and strengthened

抖淫视频 will drive positive action on global issues, including by deepening its relationship with traditional and emerging partners in areas that reflect Canadian priorities, interests and expertise abroad. In collaboration with national and international stakeholders, 抖淫视频 will support Canada’s educational and cultural interaction with the world. In collaboration with Canadian Heritage and other stakeholders such as the Canada Council for the Arts, the Department will lead on the development and implementation of a Cultural Diplomacy Strategy that will allow Canada to further advance its international policy priorities and interests through leveraging Canadian excellence in arts, culture, education and sports. The department will also work to boost open and inclusive trade, sustainable development and inclusive growth in order to strengthen Canada’s economic position and implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This will entail active engagement in multilateral forums such as the G7; G20; WTO; APEC; the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, including its Development Assistance Committee; La Francophonie; and the Commonwealth.  

Increasing Canada’s impact abroad will be pursued further by fostering close cooperation with international, local, and Canadian humanitarian partners to address ongoing and emerging crises abroad. 抖淫视频 will continue to provide life-saving assistance to those affected by humanitarian crises, including in response to country and regional situations such as those found in Bangladesh and Myanmar, Venezuela and neighbouring countries, Yemen and South Sudan, amongst others.

These international engagements will complement and contribute to shaping, building and strengthening norms, legal instruments and multilateral institutions to advance Canadian priorities and reinforce a rules-based international system.

Trade and Investment

Description

抖淫视频 supports increased and more diverse trade and investment to raise the standard of living for all Canadians and to enable Canadian businesses to grow internationally and to create economic opportunities.

Planning highlights

抖淫视频 will seek out opportunities for Canadian commerce, ingenuity, and enterprise by deepening and diversifying trade relationships, advocating for a rules-based international trade and investment system focused on economic opportunities for all, particularly for small businesses, and seeking increased and diversified foreign direct investment. Diversification opportunities will focus on key regions such as Asia and Europe and key sectors such as innovation and technology. The department pursues modern and inclusive approaches with trading partners in important areas such as transparency, labour rights, the environment, small and medium-sized enterprises, gender, and Indigenous peoples.

Canada helps to build and safeguard an open and inclusive rules-based global trading system

Canada is committed to pursuing trade in an open rules-based system that helps sustain growth and increase economic benefits for all Canadians. 抖淫视频 ensures that Canada’s interests are advanced within the global trading system by supporting the maintenance and expansion of modern and inclusive trade and investment agreements whether multilateral, plurilateral, regional or bilateral. This includes the ratification of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), and the full ratification by most EU member states and full implementation of the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).

Canada’s inclusive trade agenda aims to access a more diverse range of international markets – finding more opportunities and pursuing new agreements to help our Canadian businesses grow in the global marketplace. Examples of these efforts include the ratification and expansion of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and ongoing negotiations toward comprehensive free trade agreements with Mercosur and the Pacific Alliance. Canada is also discussing next steps toward a possible Canada-Association of Southeast Asian Nations Free Trade Agreement, and a potential modernization of the Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement.

抖淫视频 recognizes that the rules-based international trading system is under pressure and that trade diplomacy remains essential to manage challenges in this context. In addition to bilateral/regional and multilateral agreements, Canada will also stand up for the rules-based international system, including when it comes to matters of trade, investment and digital policy, by reinforcing the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization (WTO) at its core. Through engagement in international organizations and various forums, such as the G7, the G20, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the WTO, World Intellectual Property Organization, Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the World Economic Forum, Canada will work with partners to reform and strengthen global systems to foster global trade and prosperity for generations to come. This includes Canada’s ongoing leadership and engagement on WTO reform, particularly through the work of the Ottawa Group with a focus on resolving the current challenges facing the WTO’s dispute settlement mechanism and intensifying efforts to update WTO rules to reflect 21st century issues.

Canadian exporters and innovators are successful in their international business development efforts

As a trading nation, Canada recognizes the importance of international commercial activities as a driver for Canada’s economic prosperity. The department, with the support of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, is pursuing an Export Diversification Strategy to secure more opportunities for Canadian exporters and investors allowing them to compete and succeed in new global markets and sectors. The department is working with partners to increase and diversify Canada’s trade with key global markets, with a particular focus on further diversification across the Asia-Pacific region and is supporting international research and innovation partnerships.

The department will promote Canada as an innovative and competitive leader in the global marketplace, growing Canadian overseas exports by 50% by 2025 and supporting agricultural industries in getting their products to global markets. By building on our recent successes as well as through ongoing discussions with other trade partners, the department will help Canadian businesses grow by providing them access to customers and opportunities in international markets, recognizing that the United States is the gateway to other markets for many Canadian businesses. The department will identify where Canadians’ economic opportunities lie; and work to ensure that all resources are dedicated to maximizing Canada’s trade promotion and diversification capabilities.

The International Education Strategy will assist Canadian educational institutions to recruit targeted international students and promote partnerships and exports in the growing international education sector. Additionally, the expanded Canadian Trade Accelerator program will continue to build on the Government of Canada’s efforts to help companies accelerate growth by scaling up in key global technology hubs and position Canada as a global leader in clean technology, reflecting our commitment to realize the Sustainable Development Goals and fight climate change.

The department is providing trade services and support to Canadian exporters, associations and innovators via the Trade Commissioner Service’s domestic network of regional offices, global network of over 160 international offices, and an expanded line of CanExport funding programs. The department is working to raise awareness and understanding across Canada of trade agreements so that businesses and workers can fully benefit from them. To assess changes in outcomes, the department will use economic data on revenues, overall exports, and diversification in export products and markets, along with data on performance indicators, such as services delivered, programs accessed, and successes.

抖淫视频 continues the modernization of Trade Commissioner Service tools, including a refreshed digital presence, new online tools for exporters, enhanced market intelligence, and mentoring programs and tools to facilitate seamless client referrals between other federal and provincial partners. It will also create a new Canada Commercial Consular Service to better support small- and medium-sized Canadian companies facing commercial or trade disputes.

Diversity and inclusion remain a core departmental priority. Canada will continue to work toward enabling all segments of society to take advantage of and benefit from opportunities that flow from trade and investment, with a particular focus on under-represented groups such as women and women-owned businesses through the Business Women in International Trade Program, Indigenous peoples, small- and medium-sized enterprises, newcomers, youth, and LGBTQ2I persons. Canada also promotes trade approaches that factor in the protection of the environment and fair labour standards.

Foreign direct investment is facilitated, expanded or retained

抖淫视频 continues to work in partnership with Invest in Canada to increase foreign direct investment (FDI) to Canada. FDI is promoted by bringing together partners at all levels of government to provide a simpler, seamless experience to global investors; implementing and promoting Canada’s network of free trade agreements; and, highlighting Canada’s diverse, open and highly educated workforce. Through the CanExport Community Investments program, the department will continue to assist Canadian communities to attract, retain and expand foreign investment.

Development, Peace and Security Programming

Description

抖淫视频 programming contributes to reducing poverty, increasing opportunity for people around the world, alleviating suffering in humanitarian crises, and fostering peace and security, and in so doing, advances the Sustainable Development Goals.

Planning highlights

Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy^{Footnote viii} is the hallmark of Canada’s international assistance efforts and its implementation remains a top priority for 抖淫视频. Through the continued implementation of the Policy, Canada is helping to improve the lives of the people and communities that need it most and supporting developing country partners in their efforts to tackle serious and pressing issues like climate change, poverty, gender inequality and human rights.

抖淫视频 will continue to do its part in advancing a whole-of-government, whole-of-society approach to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals at home and abroad, including by increasing Canada’s international development assistance every year toward 2030. The department will direct at least 95% of Canada’s bilateral international development assistance toward programming that either targets or integrates gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, at least 15% of which will specifically target gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls by 2021-22. The department will also direct 50% of Canada’s bilateral international development assistance to sub-Saharan countries by 2021-22 and improve the way it manages and delivers international development assistance to ensure greater effectiveness, transparency and accountability.

Improved physical, social and economic well-being for the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly for women and girls, in countries where Canada engages

Climate change and other environmental issues are reaching critical levels, increasingly threatening the livelihoods and well-being of people and communities across the world, but most especially those of the poorest. Building on Canada’s environmental and climate action direction within the Feminist International Assistance Policy, 抖淫视频 will engage in multi-stakeholder partnerships with organizations that focus on environmentally sustainable development, climate change adaptation and support for developing countries in achieving their mitigation objectives. As the department continues to deliver on the Government of Canada’s $2.65-billion commitment to climate financing to developing countries by 2020-21, efforts will be made to help developing countries achieve cleaner economic growth, transition to climate-smart agriculture and food systems, and build climate-resilient economies. The department will also develop additional programming on the intersection between women’s rights and climate adaptation in order to better support sustainable and equitable resource management, agricultural production and access to markets.

A core element of Canada’s feminist approach to international development is supporting the empowerment of women and girls as key economic actors, as well as exploring innovative ways to ensure that growth reaches the poorest and the most marginalized. Priority will be given to initiatives with the greatest potential to reduce chronic poverty and gender inequality and that promote sustainable growth, economic inclusion and resilience. The department will continue to work on closing the gap in women’s participation in trade and the economy to ensure that the benefits of trade are shared more broadly. Canada recognizes that women—in their roles as entrepreneurs, wage earners, farmers and community leaders—have a central role in reducing poverty.

The department will help improve opportunities for women, by supporting initiatives that deliver demand-driven technical, vocational, and entrepreneurship training for women. In addition to supporting greater financial inclusion, better access to good, well-paying work, and enhanced labour and property rights for women, the department will develop programming that recognizes, reduces and addresses the unequal distribution of paid and unpaid care work to support and protect the rights of the workers, while addressing a root cause of global inequality.

Canada will support the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women, adolescents and children as well as programming that meets the specific needs, rights and interests of LGBTQ2I persons, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, and ethnic and religious minorities. This includes engaging men and boys to take a leading role in achieving gender equality and eliminating sexual and gender-based violence and harmful practices.

抖淫视频 will support multilateral and global health initiatives aimed at improved nutrition as well as infectious disease control for the poorest and most vulnerable people in countries where Canada engages. By improving access to nutritious foods and supplements, Canada will help combat anemia, avert child deaths, and improve birth outcomes as well as adolescent growth and development. With a focus on equity-based approaches to fighting infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and polio, as well as increased access to new and underused vaccines, Canada will help save the lives of children living in the world’s poorest countries.

Sexual and gender-based violence, including harmful practices such as child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation and cutting, is a violation of women’s and girls’ human rights and a barrier to the full achievement of gender equality, peace and development. Canada will continue to ensure that eliminating sexual and gender-based violence is a central element of our key initiatives, in particular girls’ and women’s education in fragile settings and support for sexual and reproductive health rights, including the most underfunded areas of sexual and gender-based violence such as child, early and force marriage, and female genital mutilation and cutting. Canada will continue to support the integration of gender equality, diversity and inclusion into the Safe to Learn Campaign, a multi-stakeholder initiative led by the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children that aims to eliminate violence in and around schools. Canada will once again co-lead with Zambia the biennial UN resolution to end child, early and forced marriage and increase support to women and girls affected by this practice. Finally, in January 2019, Canada assumed leadership of the Global Call to Action on Protection from Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies and will remain the lead until December 2020.

Education is critical to breaking the cycle of poverty. In 2020-21, Canada will strengthen its legacy as a leader in this area, including through continued investments supporting our G7 commitment to provide $400 million to support Education for Women and Girls in Fragile, Conflict and Crisis Situations. As 2020-21 is the final year of the Charlevoix Quality Education commitment, 抖淫视频 will also consider future opportunities to show leadership in education, including opportunities to lead an international campaign to ensure that all refugee and displaced children can get the education they need and deserve.

Canada will invest at least 10% of its bilateral international development assistance budget envelope in global education. Ensuring that all girls, adolescent girls and women have equal access to quality education and learning opportunities will be a continued area of focus. When women and girls have an equal chance to learn, grow, and succeed, it opens a path for their empowerment and, in turn, they can help build an economy that works for everyone.

The department will advance country-led quality education and skills training for girls, adolescent girls, and women, especially in crisis, conflict and fragile contexts. 抖淫视频 will work with a broad range of civil society, multilateral, and government partners, including Education Cannot Wait and the Global Partnership for Education, to implement these initiatives in developing countries and support stronger research and evidence gathering.

Enhanced empowerment and rights for women and girls in countries where Canada engages

The department will continue to invest in gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls as the most effective means of achieving lasting poverty reduction and sustainable development. Canada will also continue to leverage its position in key international institutions, such as the United Nations, the Commonwealth, La Francophonie, international financial institutions the G7 and the G20 to be a strong voice for gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.

The year 2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (Beijing+25), recognized as the most progressive blueprint for advancing women’s rights. This anniversary provides Canada and the world an opportunity to take stock of achievements toward gender equality, to assess challenges impeding progress and to make commitments of concrete actions. The year will be punctuated by a series of events marking Beijing +25, including the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (March 2020); the Generation Equality Forum (May 2020 in Mexico City and July 2020 in Paris) and the United Nations General Assembly (September 2020). Canada will take a leadership role and work with the global community to accelerate progress toward achieving gender equality, including through the full realization of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

<

Women’s organizations and movements play a central role in spearheading change in support of achieving gender equality. They influence policies, laws and institutions, including the establishment of social norms and practices; they hold governments accountable for their commitments to protect and promote the rights of women and girls; and they work to transform power relations. To respond to the needs of local women’s organizations that advance women’s rights in developing countries, 抖淫视频 will address a significant funding gap experienced by women’s organizations and networks by providing them with direct funding and institutional support so that they can enhance their influence and sustainability. Through the Women’s Voice and Leadership program, Canada will engage with organizations in 30 countries and regions to help advance gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.

Closing persistent gaps in sexual and reproductive health and rights is an important step to achieving positive health outcomes for women and girls. 抖淫视频 will focus on effective leadership and the coordination of efforts to fulfill the Global Health commitments, including supporting partners in implementing innovative sexual and gender-based violence prevention programs. Canada’s global leadership of the Call to Action on Protection from Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies will continue through to December 2020.

Reduced suffering and increased human dignity in communities experiencing humanitarian crises

Helping those in need is an important value to Canadians, which is why Canada is there to provide humanitarian assistance to help save lives, alleviate suffering and support the dignity of people whose lives are affected by natural disasters, conflicts and crises. 抖淫视频 will support timely humanitarian action, based on needs, humanitarian principles and in accordance with World Humanitarian Summit and Grand Bargain commitments. The department will also provide financial support to experienced humanitarian partners through flexible, cost-effective and multi-year funding in order to address immediate and life-saving needs of crisis-affected populations.

A core tenet of Canadian humanitarian assistance is to advance efforts to support women, girls and local groups, such as women’s rights organizations, who provide emergency assistance, but whose contribution is often undervalued and underused. Effective humanitarian response is improved by the full participation and leadership of women and girls, who are powerful agents of change and often uniquely positioned to positively influence priority-setting and decision-making. In light of this, the department will pursue and support initiatives that work to increase the leadership of women and girls affected by humanitarian crises. This encompasses targeted and crosscutting action in areas aimed at preventing, mitigating and responding to sexual and gender-based violence and harmful practices to support sexual and reproductive health and rights and the empowerment of women and girls.

Improved peace and security in countries and regions where Canada engages

Canada will pursue gender-responsive and integrated responses to global peace and security challenges, and is committed to reducing threats and to facilitating stability and development. The Peace and Stabilization Operations Program (PSOPs) is the Government of Canada’s principal platform for conflict prevention, stabilization and peacebuilding in fragile and conflict-affected states. PSOPs will continue to provide policy leadership on peace and stabilization, and to deliver agile, catalytic initiatives through both programming and the deployments of civilians and police (via the Canadian Police Arrangement). PSOPs will engage across the Government of Canada to support the integration and alignment of diplomatic capabilities, programming, and all other resources to promote and support durable, inclusive peace.

抖淫视频 will also advance the women, peace and security agenda, which is at the heart of Canada’s Feminist Foreign Policy. In June 2019, the Prime Minister announced the appointment of the first Ambassador for Women, Peace and Security to champion Canada’s priorities related to Canada’s second National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security (WPS). The 2017-2022 Action Plan on WPS guides the government in advancing gender equality and protecting and promoting the human rights of women and girls in fragile and conflict-affected states through our development assistance, humanitarian action and peace and security efforts. Through our Action Plan, Canada commits to increasing the meaningful participation of women, women’s organizations and networks in conflict prevention, conflict resolution, and post-conflict state-building. 抖淫视频 advocates for the advancement of the WPS agenda in multilateral organizations and bilaterally, and supports its implementation through the deployment of civilian and police experts to fragile and conflict-affected states and relevant international organizations. 抖淫视频 also supports WPS through grassroots women’s organizations and networks working on conflict-related issues.

Working in close cooperation with the Department of National Defence, Public Safety Canada and other stakeholders, 抖淫视频 will continue to deliver on the commitments Canada has made to expand support to United Nations peace operations. This will include continued support to enhance the effectiveness of UN peace operations through the UN Secretary General’s Action for Peacekeeping initiative, new investments to support UN-led stabilization and peacebuilding work, and continued leadership on Canadian priorities like the Vancouver Principles on Peacekeeping and the Prevention of the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers. Canada is also supporting UN peace operations and advancing the WPS agenda through the Elsie Initiative for Women in Peace Operations, which includes working with international partners to increase the meaningful participation of uniformed women in UN peace operations.

Through the Anti-Crime Capacity Building Program, Canada will continue to work with trusted partners, for example, with the Organization of American States and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, to advance foreign state capacity to develop national drug control policies and train customs officials to detect, disrupt and intercept the illegal trade of opioids or precursor drugs. Similarly, Canada is working to reduce the harmful effects of the trade of illicit drugs such as cocaine in Colombia. The department will also combat migrant smuggling globally, through the renewal of the Human Smuggling Envelope totaling $8.5 million per year until 2023-24. Irregular migration is a topic of concern for Canada as the government is engaged in addressing the serious challenges associated with the unprecedented exodus of people in regions such as Latin America.

Through the Counter-Terrorism Capacity Building Program, Canada will provide support and deliver assistance through gender-sensitive programming to address the root causes of conflict and improve security and stability in countries of the Middle East, the Sahel-West Africa, and South and Southeast Asia through trusted and new partners at the cutting edge of counterterrorism. Support will also be provided via the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s efforts to advance long-term stability and security in Iraq.

Human rights and gender-responsive programming to combat violent extremism and transnational crime are critical for more effective and sustainable outcomes. In its efforts to reduce the global impact of violent extremist activities, 抖淫视频 will engage with partner states, organizations and global networks to improve judicial, criminal, military, and border responses in at-risk countries. The department will engage with the UN and with the international donor community to co-ordinate capacity-building programs that align with the Government of Canada’s priorities.

抖淫视频 will work to enhance rules-based institutions and approaches for non-proliferation, arms control and disarmament and through its Weapons Threat Reduction Program will continue to support initiatives to address threats posed by weapons and materials of mass destruction around the globe. This includes strengthening the foundations of international arms control and disarmament, notably the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the Chemical Weapons Convention.

These efforts will support international organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (to enhance nuclear and radiological security globally) and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (to address chemical weapons threats in Syria and to uphold the global norm against chemical weapons use). The department will also continue to engage a range of partners to support efforts to address proliferation concerns globally, including those arising from Iran and North Korea. 抖淫视频 will take further concrete steps to fulfil Canada’s commitment to the UN Secretary General’s Agenda for Disarmament. This includes championing efforts to develop a framework to respond to the use of biological weapons, as well as investigating alleged use of such weapons, in close collaboration with partners. 抖淫视频 will also work to advance international efforts to ban the development and use of fully automated weapons systems and strengthen its support for the universalization of international legal frameworks related to conventional weapons, including small arms and light weapons and non-discriminatory weapons, such as landmines and cluster munitions.

Canada’s international assistance is made more effective by leveraging diverse partnerships, innovation, and experimentation

Broad and inclusive partnerships and innovation play a key role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which aims to benefit and support the empowerment of the poorest and most vulnerable in developing countries, particularly women and girls. In line with this commitment, Canada will increase its collaboration on innovative financing with new and existing partners in civil society and the private sector. This will include through the continued implementation of initiatives that the Government of Canada has introduced, such as the International Assistance Innovation Program, FinDev Canada, the Sovereign Loans Program and the Equality Fund, and by ensuring these initiatives are fully aligned with Canada’s feminist approach to development. The Government of Canada will also support innovation across Canada’s international assistance, to create conditions for better results and greater impact in developing countries and will integrate new approaches to volunteerism into key global development processes. The department will support the continued engagement of Canadians, which is key to effective international assistance policies and programs. This support will be delivered through initiatives including the Volunteer Cooperation Program and the Technical Assistance Partnership initiative and will also involve a renewed approach to public engagement.

Canada’s advances in development innovation and effectiveness will move forward through further development and implementation of policies, programs, and partnerships that promote innovation and appropriate risk-taking while implementing the Whistler Principles to Accelerate Innovation for Development Impact. The department will implement the Small and Medium Organizations for Impact and Innovation initiative that will support the testing of innovations in international development.

抖淫视频 will work with partners in new ways with the Task Force on Improving Effectiveness, which was created to enhance the department’s engagement with partners. It is an innovative way to work collaboratively to identify solutions to challenges facing the department’s partners and staff as part of wider process-transformation efforts to reduce the administrative burden on partners and staff and to improve project and program effectiveness.

Canada will advance new approaches to financing for both development and humanitarian assistance. Through development-innovation investments, 抖淫视频 will think creatively about how to address global development challenges in new and improved ways and how to invest in solutions that significantly improve the lives of the poorest and most vulnerable people.

抖淫视频 also intends to experiment with new solutions in targeted areas to deliver better results on its international agenda, such as mobilization for food security and sustainable development. In terms of humanitarian assistance, 抖淫视频 recognizes the need to find complementary approaches to traditional funding tools to address the growing and more complex humanitarian needs of those affected by crises. 抖淫视频 will test innovative approaches as well as draw lessons from existing innovative humanitarian funding mechanisms.

Help for Canadians Abroad

Description

抖淫视频 provides timely and appropriate consular services for Canadians abroad, contributing to their safety and security.

Planning highlights

抖淫视频 is committed to providing consular support in both official languages for Canadians requiring assistance abroad. Canada will ensure that through consular diplomacy, advocacy and strategic engagement, we will continue to adapt to current local contexts around the world and best practices in consular affairs to better serve Canadians. The department is committed to ensuring that Canadians receive efficient and effective consular and emergency management services through achieving excellence in service delivery.

Canadians have timely access to information and services that keeps them safer abroad

Sharing timely and relevant information before and during travel is critical to ensure Canadians receive the best possible consular assistance, especially in the event of an emergency abroad. The department will enhance its active engagement with Canadians and will continue to inform them through updates of the department’s travel advice and advisories, as well as timely response updates during crises and significant events, which can be easily accessed through the portal at ^{Footnote xii}. Canadians will benefit from updates through the departments’ twitter account for travel advisories, 24/7 support from the Emergency Watch and Response Centre’s assistance line, proactive messages to the Registry of Canadians Abroad (ROCA), and support from the department and missions during crisis situations. In addition, the department is also working on implementing a communication initiative to provide a tailored client service approach that will offer users a global chat platform.

During crises, we will keep in close contact with our missions abroad, amplify their social media content and collaborate with other departments to ensure that our advice for Canadian travelers is widely shared. We will continue to promote 抖淫视频’s safe travel tools and resources including ROCA, the Travel Smart app and our Travel Advice and Advisories on social media.

抖淫视频 will also continue to deliver relevant, accessible and bilingual consular services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Emergency Watch and Response Centre is staffed by our highly trained and capable team of emergency core responders who are ready to assist Canadians 24/7. The department will use a strategic approach to case management that recognizes local and personal circumstances, circumstances which may affect clients’ needs and the assistance that the Department can provide.

抖淫视频 recognizes that Canadians may have different needs before, during, and after travel, especially if they faced an unexpected situation abroad. The department will develop partnerships with federal, provincial, territorial and local governments, private sector and civil society organizations, as well as with bilateral and multilateral partners, to leverage their services to support the client experience.

Canadians abroad receive timely and appropriate government services

抖淫视频 provides effective and efficient services to Canadians abroad. One service most used by Canadians abroad is our passport services on behalf of Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada. To support program delivery, 抖淫视频 will continue to strengthen its program framework by including a more robust performance monitoring plan in support of the effective implementation of service standards, as well as forward-looking training, policy development and guidance.

Support for Canada’s Presence Abroad

Description

抖淫视频 manages and delivers resources, infrastructure and services enabling Canada’s presence abroad, including at embassies, high commissions, and consulates.

Planning highlights

抖淫视频 supports Canada’s presence abroad, as well as diplomatic relations through its global network of missions, embassies, high commissions and consulates. 抖淫视频 promotes Canadian interests and values internationally, supports Canadian businesses to reach global markets and helps improve the lives of the poorest and most vulnerable. To meet its departmental results targets, 抖淫视频 will deliver on more cost-effective services and infrastructure, as well as provide more robust security measures and support at missions.

Sound management and delivery of resources, infrastructure and services enables Canada’s presence abroad

The department will continue to strengthen investment planning and service delivery to ensure the long-term sustainability of Canada’s network of missions abroad. This includes implementing integrated five-year mission plans and 20-year investment strategies for each mission, as well as continuing to enhance the new costing methodology for common services. The department will focus improvements on the management and delivery of common services by developing and leveraging enhanced business analytics systems and tools; conducting a comprehensive review of the supply chain operations framework; and, strengthening long-term planning and investment and project management.

抖淫视频 is continuing to modernize its network of missions abroad through the transformation of its technology infrastructure via digital workplace portfolio initiatives that aim to increase the capabilities of its workforce at home and abroad. By concentrating on foundational elements of the current network both at the infrastructure and application level, 抖淫视频 will be better positioned to be digitally enabled and more secure over the long term to enable a cloud-first focus at missions. Modernizing the tools employees use will allow them to work the way they want as individuals and in groups with a number of ongoing initiatives such as the integration of the Collaboration Suite of Tools (Office 365).

抖淫视频 is also committed to further improving and enhancing services for Government of Canada employees at missions. In 2020-21, the administrative capacity of the Foreign Service Directives (FSD) bureau will be increased by 20% to strengthen and optimize the delivery of FSD payments and services and to meet increased demand resulting from the growing number of Canada-based staff.  Ongoing engagement with the Locally Engaged Staff (LES) community continues to be productive, leading to a more agile organization.

Consultations with key partners such as the Treasury Board Secretariat and the Public Service Commission have led to new milestones in the reform of LES policy instruments. This will bring about major changes to the human resources policy instruments and programs linked to LES staffing, position classification, labour relations and recourse, and pension and insurance.  Some of these major changes will be implemented at the beginning of 2020-21.

Personnel are safe, missions are more secure and government and partner assets and information are protected

The safety and security of Canada-based staff and their dependents, as well as local staff and visitors to missions around the world is a priority for 抖淫视频. Missions operate in a security environment that is evolving and dynamic due to unpredictable political situations, hostile actions and/or civil unrest, and natural disasters.

In order to strengthen security measures at embassies, high commissions and consulates, significant investments are being made in security services, systems and equipment; infrastructure upgrades and minor security projects; emergency readiness; and training programs. Providing safe and productive working environments includes investments to improve the environmental performance of buildings, addressing seismic risks, and managing maintenance to support ongoing operations. Investments also include improvements to accessibility and greenhouse gas emission reductions.

A key element of 抖淫视频’s pre-posting practices is the provision of mandatory training for staff, especially for those in designated high and critical threat missions, to ensure they are aware of the need for adequate safety measures appropriate to the threat environment.

Internal Services: planned results

Description

Internal Services are those groups of related activities and resources that the federal government considers to be services in support of Programs and/or required to meet corporate obligations of an organization. Internal Services refers to the activities and resources of the 10 distinct services that support Program delivery in the organization, regardless of the Internal Services delivery model in a department. These services are:

• Management and Oversight Services
• Communications Services
• Legal Services
• Human Resources Management Services
• Financial Management Services
• Information Management Services
• Information Technology Services
• Real Property Management Services
• Materiel Management Services
• Acquisition Management Services

Spending and human resources

This section provides an overview of the department’s planned spending and human resources for the next three consecutive fiscal years, and compares planned spending for the upcoming year with the current and previous years’ actual spending.

Planned spending

The following graph presents planned (voted and statutory) spending over time.

From 2019-20 to 2022-23, 抖淫视频’s spending profile varies from $7.2 billion in 2019-20 to $6.7 billion in 2022-23.

Significant items contributing to the decrease of $461 million include the following:

• $361.7 million for various climate change initiatives - funding will end by March 31, 2020;
• $263.5 million to address the Middle East Strategy - funding will end by March 31, 2021;
• $107.5 million for the 2015-2020 strategy for maternal, newborn and child health - funding will end by March 31, 2020;
• $55.0 million for Development Assistance and Security Sector Support to Afghanistan - funding will end by March 31, 2021;
• $21.3 million in funding for Canada's participation in World Expo 2020 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates - funding will end by March 31, 2022; 

Decreases are also attributable to operating and capital carry forward amounts ($89.6 million), which are included in 2019-20 but not future year figures. These decreases are offset by an increase of $388.4 million to support the Feminist International Assistance Policy and by an increase of $26.7 million for the Export Diversification Strategy. 

Expenditures for 2017-18 and 2018-19 reflect the financial information previously reported in the Departmental Results Reports and the Public Accounts.

Budgetary planning summary for core responsibilities and Internal Services (dollars)

The following table shows actual, forecast and planned spending for each of 抖淫视频’s core responsibilities and to Internal Services for the years relevant to the current planning year.

Planned human resources

The following table shows actual, forecast and planned full-time equivalents (FTEs) for each core responsibility in 抖淫视频’s departmental results framework and to Internal Services for the years relevant to the current planning year.

From 2017-18 to 2022-23, 抖淫视频’s full-time equivalents (FTEs) increased by 775 FTEs (7%) to deliver new programs and initiatives in support of the department's mandate and priorities. The year-over-year variance in the number of FTEs is attributable to the following initiatives:

• the implementation of the Feminist International Assistance Agenda;
• support to missions security abroad to mitigate risks through physical infrastructure, mission readiness and securing our information;
• the enhanced Trade Commissioner Services;
• the Creative Export Strategy;
• the Export Diversification Strategy; and
• the International Education Strategy.

Estimates by vote

Information on 抖淫视频’s organizational appropriations is available in the ^{Footnote xix}.

Condensed future-oriented statement of operations

The condensed future鈥憃riented statement of operations provides an overview of 抖淫视频’s operations for 2019–20 to 2020–21.

The amounts for forecast and planned results in this statement of operations were prepared on an accrual basis. The amounts for forecast and planned spending presented in other sections of the Departmental Plan were prepared on an expenditure basis. Amounts may therefore differ.

A more detailed future鈥憃riented statement of operations and associated notes, including a reconciliation of the net cost of operations to the requested authorities, are available on the 抖淫视频 website^{Footnote xx}.

The increase of $224 million in 2020–21 Planned Results, when compared to the 2019–20 Forecast Results of the Net cost of operations before government funding and transfers, is mainly attributable to:

• A decrease in Vote 1 for Operating expenditures due to a carry forward amount, which is included in the 2019-20 forecast results but not in the 2020-21 planned results, as well as a decrease in funding for Ensuring Rule-Based and Responsible Trade (Softwood Lumber).  
• A decrease in Vote 5 for Capital expenditures due to a carry forward amount, which is included in the 2019-20 forecast results but not in the 2020-21 planned results.
• A significant variance in Vote 10 for Grants and Contributions where the planned expenses are expected to be higher in 2020-21 due to an increase in funding to implement the Feminist International Assistance Policy, which is offset by a decrease in funding for the Crisis Pool Quick Release Mechanism and in funding related to the 2015-2020 Strategy for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health.
