class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Departmental Plan describes the priorities and goals for the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) Secretariat in 2024\u201325. Our work is fundamentally anchored by our role in supporting the Agency\u2019s mandate to undertake independent, expert review and investigation of the Government of Canada\u2019s national security and intelligence activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the Agency\u2019s inception in 2019, the NSIRA Secretariat has worked to establish a professional workforce and the supporting infrastructure, processes, and policies needed to carry out its mandate. Our approaches have matured as we have taken time for deep internal reflection and to consult with our domestic and international partners. Combined with the growing willingness of the national security community to genuinely accept and adjust to our mandate, we are now well positioned to leverage what we have learned and confidently advance our work as a world-recognized review body. In so doing, we will continue to work towards NSIRA\u2019s vision of an accountable, transparent, and effective national security and intelligence community that upholds the rule of law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2024\u201325, the Secretariat will continue to improve the quality of our working environment to attract and retain an exceptional workforce. We recognize that prioritizing the physical and mental well-being of our employees, and continuing to advance diversity and inclusion, are important aspects of becoming an employer of choice. We have taken steps to implement meaningful action in the coming year. NSIRA is well positioned to take on new and exciting challenges in the year ahead.

The new framework is for measuring and reporting on results achieved starting in 2021\u201322; in 2022\u201323, NSIRA finalized service standards on the time required to complete its investigations (effective April 1, 2023).

This will include supporting the annual reviews of CSIS and CSE activities, to provide responsible Ministers and the Canadian public with an assessment of these institutions\u2019 activities, including their lawfulness, reasonableness, and necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2024\u201325, the NSIRA Secretariat will continue to be informed and guided by the knowledge acquired through reviews of departments and agencies (reviewees) to date. As it becomes increasingly familiar with reviewees\u2019 organizational structures, networks, policies, and activities, and able to apply such information to subsequent reviews, it will leverage this knowledge to ensure these institutions\u2019 national security and intelligence activities are reviewed from a strongly informed position of independence. The NSIRA Secretariat will also continue to support reviews focused on crosscutting, horizontal issues that span multiple reviewees, with a goal of fully leveraging NSIRA\u2019s authority in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to conducting its mandated annual reviews in 2024-25, the NSIRA Secretariat will lead the development of a new review plan that is timely, topical, and responsive. The Forward Review Plan involves evaluating proposals for new reviews against an established matrix of criteria. The criteria represent the considerations or aspects that NSIRA deems to be the most important and relevant to the issues and topics it addresses through its discretionary reviews. The outcome will be a prioritized list of new reviews that will be undertaken once the existing reviews are completed. In this way, the NSIRA Secretariat will continue to support NSIRA Members in executing their responsibilities and exercising their authority under the <em>NSIRA Act<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"17--support-to-nsira-complaints-investigations-\">Support to NSIRA complaints investigations<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2024\u201325, the NSIRA Secretariat will support the Agency in ensuring institutions\u2019 accountability and enhancing public confidence by conducting transparent and timely investigations into complaints related to national security and the denial of security clearances. NSIRA\u2019s independent investigation of complaints plays a critical role in maintaining public access to justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the coming year, the NSIRA Secretariat will apply its rules of procedure, which were first implemented in 2021, to promote accessibility, timeliness, and efficiency in the Agency\u2019s investigation of complaints. This includes an informal resolution process that has proven successful in resolving complaints that do not need to proceed e to formal investigation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NSIRA Secretariat will further implement the Agency\u2019s new service standards for the investigation of complaints, which were created in 2022\u201323 and effective as of April 1, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"18-transparency\">Transparency<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NSIRA Secretariat will continue to proactively publish unclassified versions of all Agency review reports. It will engage reviewees in a timelier manner on release approvals and aim to publish redacted reports on the NSIRA website shortly after these reports are provided to reviewees and their respective Ministers, leveraging processes developed during the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"19-partnerships\">Partnerships<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"20-participation\">Participation<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2024\u201325, the NSIRA Secretariat will build on its ongoing partnership efforts from the previous year. It will continue its participation in the Five Eyes Intelligence Oversight and Review Council, which brings together review agency representatives from Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"21-engagement\">Engagement<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NSIRA Secretariat will also continue to support multilateral and bilateral engagement with other like-minded European and international partners. Such participation and engagement will include ongoing working-level visits and exchanges. This work will support NSIRA\u2019s interest in benefiting from, and contributing to, the sharing of best practices with the broader review and oversight community. The NSIRA Secretariat will also continue to build on recent efforts to foster collaborative relationships with other domestic review bodies and civil society groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"19-key-risks\">Key risks<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NSIRA Secretariat has made progress on accessing the information required to conduct reviews; however, there continues to be risks associated with reviewees\u2019 ability to respond to, and prioritize, information requests, hindering NSIRA\u2019s ability to deliver its review plan in a timely way. The NSIRA Secretariat will continue to mitigate this risk by providing clear communication related to information requests, tracking their timely completion within communicated timelines, and escalating issues when appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"20-snapshot-of-planned-resources-in-2024%E2%80%9325\">Snapshot of planned resources in 2024\u201325<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Planned spending:<\/strong> $18,575,110<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Planned full-time resources:<\/strong> 100<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"24-related-government-priorities\">Related government priorities<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2024\u201325, the NSIRA Secretariat will continue to implement its three-year action plan on human rights, accessibility, employment equity, diversity, and inclusion. It first put this plan into effect during fiscal year 2022\u201323, following a maturity assessment of its policies, programs, and practices, and the Call to Action from the Clerk of the Privy Council. It includes, among many components, incorporating a gender-based analysis plus lens into the design and implementation of the NSIRA Secretariat\u2019s policies and programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employee self-identification data, which was first collected by the NSIRA Secretariat in 2023\u20132024 (further to the establishment of a special program under the <em>Canadian Human Rights Act<\/em>), will continue to inform the NSIRA Secretariat\u2019s activities in the year ahead and better position it to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>prevent, eliminate, or reduce disadvantages and barriers that are experienced by any group of individuals based on, or related to, prohibited grounds of discrimination;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>identify gaps in representation, to implement recruitment and retention measures aimed at not only achieving but retaining a diverse workforce and maintaining an inclusive work environment;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>leverage the value of diverse peoples and perspectives in its work; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>identify meaningful opportunities for employee engagement in keeping with its overall commitment to human rights, accessibility, employment equity, diversity, and inclusion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NSIRA\u2019s Forward Looking Review Plan continues to be informed by considerations related to anti-racism, equity, and inclusion. These considerations apply to the process of selecting reviews to be undertaken, as well as to the analysis that takes place during individual reviews. NSIRA reviews routinely take into account the potential for national security or intelligence activities to result in disparate outcomes for various communities, and will continue to do so in the year ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2024\u201325, in the context of complaint investigations, the NSIRA Secretariat will continue to support the Agency as it works with the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission (CRCC) to develop strategies for the collection, analysis, and use of identity-based data. Following the completion of a joint study, it will focus on assessing how some recommendations can be implemented for the collection, analysis, and use of identity-based data in relation to the NSIRA and CRCC mandates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NSIRA Secretariat will also continue to implement its Accessibility Plan, which outlines the steps that will be taken to increase accessibility within the organization and for all Canadians over the next two years. In addition, its Diversity, Inclusion, and Employment Equity Advisory Committee will continue to work with management and staff to build a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive workplace and workforce. This will include organizing discussions and learning events with all staff and providing advice on policy and program design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the year ahead, the NSIRA Secretariat will also develop and implement a pay equity plan, as required by the <em>Pay Equity Act<\/em>. Closing any identified gender pay gap is essential to advancing gender equality and fostering a workplace driven by inclusivity and fairness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"25-program-inventory\">Program inventory<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">National security and intelligence reviews and complaints investigations are supported by the following program in the program inventory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>National security and intelligence activity reviews and complaints investigations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supporting information on planned expenditures, human resources, and results related to NSIRA\u2019s program inventory is available on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tbs-sct.canada.ca\/ems-sgd\/edb-bdd\/index-eng.html\">GC Infobase<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"26-internal-services\">Internal services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"27-description\">Description<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Internal services are the services that are provided within a department so that it can meet its corporate obligations and deliver its programs.

Over the coming year, it will continue to encourage flexible working arrangements, such as teleworking, to achieve work\u2013life balance and meet performance expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the coming year, the NSIRA Secretariat\u2019s office footprint, with modern and flexible workstations in the classified and non-classified realm, is expected to be completed. The project has been pushed back to a summer 2024 delivery date due to its complexity, supply chain challenges, and compliance requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NSIRA Secretariat also continues to implement security controls and keeps its Security Plan and Business Impact Analysis evergreen, to ensure resiliency over time. In addition, based on the NSIRA Secretariat\u2019s Information Management plans and strategies developed last fiscal year, it has identified the tools and resources required to execute the plans and strategies over the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"29-snapshot-of-planned-resources-in-2024-25\">Snapshot of planned resources in 2024-25<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Planned spending: $7,722,123<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Planned full-time resources<strong>:<\/strong> 31<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"30-related-government-priorities\">Related government priorities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"31-planning-for-contracts-awarded-to-indigenous-businesses\">Planning for contracts awarded to Indigenous businesses<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NSIRA Secretariat is among the final wave of departments and agencies that are to achieve the mandatory minimum target of contract awards to Indigenous businesses by 2024\u201325. Efforts are already well underway in support of the Government of Canada\u2019s commitment which requires that an annual, mandatory minimum target of five percent of the total value of contracts be awarded to Indigenous businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2021-22, the NSIRA Secretariat exceeded its plan to reach two percent of total contract values awarded to Indigenous business, and achieved three percent, as shown in Table 3. Measures undertaken by the NSIRA Secretariat to facilitate the achievement of the mandatory minimum target by 2024\u201325 include a commitment to process an increasing minimum number of contracts in each of the following three fiscal years, as set-asides under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"32-table-3-progress-toward-target-for-contracts-with-indigenous-businesses\">Table 3: Progress toward target for contracts with Indigenous businesses<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"table table-striped table-bordered small\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"col\">5% reporting field description<\/th>\n<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"col\">2021&ndash;22 actual % achieved<\/th>\n<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"col\">2022&ndash;23 actual % achieved<\/th>\n<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"col\">2023&ndash;24 planned % target<\/th>\n<th class=\"active text-center\" scope=\"col\">2024&ndash;25 planned % target<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Total percentage of contracts with Indigenous businesses<\/td>\n<td>3%<\/td>\n<td>3%<\/td>\n<td>3%<\/td>\n<td>5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"33-planned-spending-and-human-resources\">Planned spending and human resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This section provides an overview of NSIRA\u2019s planned spending and human resources for the next three&nbsp;fiscal years and compares planned spending for 2024\u201325 with actual spending from previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"34-spending\">Spending<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"35-table-4-actual-spending-summary-for-core-responsibilities-and-internal-services--dollars-\">Table 4: Actual spending summary for core responsibilities and internal services ($ dollars)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following table shows information on spending for each of NSIRA\u2019s core responsibilities and for its internal services for the previous three fiscal years.
