RCMP - Access to Information and Privacy Branch (ATIP)

Fee type: Regulatory

Fee-setting authority: Access to Information Act and Regulations

Year last modified: 1982

Performance standards: Government institution must respond to all formal Access to Information Act requests within the legislated time frame as defined under the Act.

Performance results: Last fiscal year, the RCMP processed 36.6% of all Access to Information Act requests received within the legislated time frame.

2014-15 6.0 1,316.0
2015-16 6.0 1,316.0

Other information: There continues to be a decrease in compliance rates in 2012-13. While the number of requests dropped by approximately four percent as compared to 2011-12, the low rate of compliance is attributable to two factors: a reduction in the number of ATIP-dedicated resources and an increase in the complexity of the requests. There was a 384 percent increase in the number of pages reviewed under the Access to Information Act and a 69 percent increase in the number of pages reviewed under the Privacy Act.

Moving forward, the ATIP Branch will be implementing a strategy to increase ATIP-dedicated resources in 2013-14 in order to improve the compliance rate to 80 percent within two years. The two-year timeframe will allow for a reduction in the backlog of requests and accounts for the time required to fill vacancies and provide the necessary training to new staff.

Response to Parliamentary Committees and External Audits

Response to parliamentary committees

Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration (March 2013, 41st Parliament, 1st Session)

On February 28, 2013, the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration adopted its Seventh Report, Standing On Guard For Thee: Ensuring That Canada's Immigration System Is Secure. The report was presented to the House of Commons on March 18, 2013. The House of Commons requested a government response, which was tabled on June 17, 2013.

Following the Committee recommendations, the following work related to the RCMP has been undertaken:

  1. The Government of Canada has taken significant measures to secure federal systems and networks including the stringent security protection of databases to withstand potential cyber attacks. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Shared Services Canada are working in close consultation to ensure that technological safeguards are in place to secure the systems that have been developed to collect, use and store biometric information. Digital fingerprints will be securely transmitted to the RCMP for fingerprint matching and storage, where strict security and privacy protection safeguards for biometric information are employed.
  2. The Government supports effective and responsible information sharing among federal partners in accordance with existing laws and authorities, and continues to build on collaborative efforts over the last several years to enhance this essential component of public safety and national security. Existing information sharing arrangements between CIC, the CBSA, the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) continue to be reviewed to ensure that they serve the current needs of the security screening program that forms part of Canada's immigration process.
  3. The Government is committed to continuing to work closely with allies to ensure that all sensitive intelligence or other information is effectively shared and protected, according to lawful authorities, international obligations and privacy laws. In 2011, the Minister of Public Safety issued Ministerial Directions on "Information Sharing with Foreign Entities" to CSIS, the RCMP and the CBSA to establish consistent policy on decision making processes regarding information sharing where there may be a risk of mistreatment.
  4. The Crimes against Humanity and War Crimes Program provides a comprehensive response for dealing with persons suspected of committing war crimes and who are attempting to enter, or have entered, Canada. In some cases, a criminal justice response is the most appropriate action, for which the RCMP launches criminal investigations pursuant to the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act.

Committee Report Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration

Government Response Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration

Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology (March 2013, 41st Parliament, 1st Session)

On February 26, 2013, the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology adopted its third Report entitled Intellectual Property Regime In Canada. The report was presented to the House of Commons on March 18, 2013. The House of Commons requested a government response, which was tabled in the House on June 17, 2013.

Following the Committee recommendations, the following progress and corrective actions related to the RCMP were undertaken:

  1. Regarding the recommendation to the effect that the Government of Canada [should] ensure that appropriate authority be vested in the RCMP and border officials to do their work, while ensuring respect for civil liberties and due process, it was noted that Bill C-56 (Combating Counterfeit Products Act) would provide the necessary authorities for the RCMP and customs officials to effectively identify counterfeit and pirated goods. The Bill would make it a criminal offence to knowingly sell, manufacture, cause to manufacture, import, export, attempt to export and possess for the purpose of sale or distribution counterfeit goods and labels on a commercial scale. It also adds the acts of exporting, attempting to export and possessing for sale or rental of pirated goods to the current criminal offences in the Copyright Act. These offences target commercial activity but do not apply to individuals who acquire or use counterfeit or pirated goods for their personal use.
  2. In response to the recommendation to the effect "that the Government of Canada include consumer groups in addition to industry groups in education and coordination efforts to combat piracy and counterfeit";, it was noted that consumer groups will be invited to join the existing Intellectual Property (IP) Crime Working Group coordinated by the Canadian Anti-Counterfeiting Network (CACN) and the RCMP. This Working Group was formed jointly by the RCMP, Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and CACN as a platform for private sector and federal departments to work together in support of IP enforcement. The IP Crime Working Group is currently comprised of federal departments and agencies (RCMP, CBSA, Industry Canada, Health Canada and the Department of Justice) and private sector representatives (CACN, Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Bar Association, Canadian Recording Industry Association and the IP Institute of Canada). Having consumer groups participate in the Working Group will contribute to a more balanced approach to combating counterfeiting and piracy.

Response to the Auditor General (including to the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development)

Audit of the Administration of the House of Commons Footnote 1 and Audit of the Administration of the Senate Footnote 2

In 2012-13, the Auditor General tabled two audits which examined five areas of House of Commons and Senate Administration including security of the Parliamentary Precinct. The reports were tabled to the Standing Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration (Senate) and the Board of Internal Economy (House of Commons) in April 2012.

Security Services responds to the security risks and balances public access with the need to provide a safe and secure environment for Members, staff and visitors. There are three parties that are responsible for security on Parliament Hill: the RCMP is responsible for the grounds, and the House of Commons Security Services and Senate Protective Services are responsible for security inside the buildings. Coordination among the three agencies is maximized through the jointly staffed Master Security Plan Office.

The recommendations were addressed to either the Senate or House of Commons Administration. The RCMP was considered a third party in this audit. The audit found the coordination and communications between the three parties responsible for security have improved in recent years. This is due, in large part, to the development of a Master Security Plan by the three forces that allows operations to be coordinated through a jointly staffed office.

Audit of the Protection of Canada's Infrastructure from Cyber Threats Footnote 3

In 2012-13, the Auditor General tabled an audit in which the objective was to determine whether selected federal departments and agencies are helping to secure Canada's critical infrastructure from cyber threats by leading and coordinating activities in partnership with provinces, territories and the private sector. Critical infrastructure consists of physical and information technology assets such as the electricity distribution networks, telecommunications networks, banking systems, manufacturing and transportation systems, as well as government information systems and services that support the continued and effective functioning of government. The audit found that since 2010, with the announcement of the Cyber Security Strategy and of the National Strategy and Action Plan for Critical Infrastructure, the government has made progress in securing its systems against cyber threats.

Although the audit included the activities of the RCMP as a federal department involved in securing the critical infrastructure, the RCMP is only referenced in the report and has no recommendations addressed to them. Recommendations are directed to Public Safety and Treasury Board of Canada.

External audits conducted by the Public Service Commission of Canada or the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages

None.

Status Report on Transformational and Major Crown Projects

Description

The Real Time Identification (RTID) Project was designed to facilitate the timely and efficient exchange of criminal records and fingerprint information and is a re-engineering of systems and business processes used for fingerprint identification, civil clearances and criminal records maintenance. It will transform the current paper-based workflow to an electronic workflow, enabling the "real time" identification of fingerprints submitted electronically.

Fingerprints are submitted by police agencies to support the creation of a criminal record or to search the criminal record repository during a criminal investigation or civil security screening. RTID will streamline these services, facilitate information sharing internationally, and permit an improved tracking of criminals by condensing identification turnaround times from weeks and months to hours and days.

The original RTID business case was approved as part of the Preliminary Project Approval (PPA) submitted in December 2004. Treasury Board Effective Project Approval (EPA) for Phase 1 dated October 2005 and EPA for Phase 2 dated June 2007 were both granted. Funding for the RTID Project was announced on April 20, 2004, under the National Security Policy. The Effective Project Approval (EPA) was amended in March 2011 in order to re-establish the approval authority and realign the project scope.

The Project was established under the sponsorship of National Police Services. The Chief Information Officer was appointed Project Leader, responsible for achieving the technology improvements associated with the project. The business owner is the Assistant Commissioner, Forensic Science and Identification Services. From a project governance perspective, the RTID Project Director reports to both the Chief Information Officer and the Assistant Commissioner, Forensic Science and Identification Services.

Project Phase

The Project is being delivered in two major Phases. RTID Phase 1 modernized the civil clearance process by replacing the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) and implementing a new transaction manager, permitting agencies to submit their fingerprint information electronically. Phase 1 was closed from an Information Technology perspective in September 2008.

The scope of RTID Phase 2 has been amended based on recommendations made by an Independent Review conducted in 2010. Project work refined and developed the foundational systems and functionality aligned to the Phase 1 scope. The project closed out in March 2013.

Horizontal Initiatives

Name of Horizontal Initiative: Investments to Combat the Criminal Use of Firearms (ICCUF)

Name of Lead Department: Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)

Lead Department PAA Program: Canadian Firearms Program (CFP)

Start Date: May 2004

End Date: Ongoing

Total Federal Funding Allocation (from start date to end date): Originally $49.9 million over five years; now $10.9 million per year, ongoing.

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):

The overall aim of the ICCUF is to improve the national collection, analysis and sharing of firearms-related intelligence and information. Funding is distributed within the RCMP to several sub-programs within the Canadian Law Enforcement Services program: Canadian Firearms Program (CFP), Criminal Intelligence (CI), Integrated Forensic Identification Services (IFIS) - Canadian Integrated Ballistics Information Network (CIBIN) laboratories, and the Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC). The initiative also provides funds to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and Public Safety Canada (PSC).

The ICCUF directly supports the Government's objective to tackle violent crime (especially firearms-related offences in relation to organized crime and street gangs).

Shared Outcomes: Enhanced RCMP and CBSA capacity to gather, analyze and share criminal intelligence in order to improve firearms investigations, and to increase knowledge of the extent and patterns of smuggling and trafficking of firearms used in crime. These contribute to Canada's intelligence-led national enforcement strategy.

Governance Structures: A Joint Management Team (JMT) coordinates ICCUF efforts. All partners participate in JMT meetings.

Performance Highlights:

Aligned with the Government of Canada's objective to tackle violent crime, particularly firearms-related offences, the ICCUF horizontal initiative continues to support the national collection, analysis, development and sharing of firearms-related intelligence with its federal partners.

This initiative also supports the fulfillment of firearms trace requests and the maintenance and distribution of the RCMP's firearms reference table to law enforcement. ICCUF also provides training to both Canadian and international law enforcement partners and enables the continued operation of the Canadian Integrated Ballistics Information Network (CIBIN).

In addition, it has allowed federal partners to provide policy advice related to crime guns to the Minister of Public Safety Canada, conduct relevant research, and continues to support illegal firearms seizures at Canadian ports of entry.

Reduce the impact of serious firearms-related crime through continued support to law enforcement agencies, by providing specialized assistance to effectively investigate, gather and share criminal intelligence to successfully prosecute individuals involved in the illegal movement and criminal use of firearms

The recent acquisition of a national computer server within the CFP/FIES directorate has improved the collection, reporting and analysis of firearms data.

The CFP/FIES hosted the 10th annual International Firearms Trafficking School in Ottawa. This school is dedicated to sharing firearms-related investigation information with law enforcement participants from many G20 countries. In addition, CFP/ FIES have delivered requested training on firearms identification in Trinidad, and specialized training through the INTERPOL Capacity Building Programme in the Dominican Republic, increasing the number of officers qualified to investigate firearms trafficking crimes.

The CFP/FIES fulfilled 2,639 tracing requests in 2012-13 and 4,900 requests for service for firearms investigations from law enforcement.

In 2012-13, the CFP/FIES developed and released the Seized Firearms Safety training course, via the Canadian Police Knowledge Network (CPKN), and provided 98 training sessions to law enforcement during the year.

The CFP/FIES supported the development of an INTERPOL Firearms Reference Table (IFRT) and have distributed via DVD a total of 2,400 copies of the FRT to law enforcement in Canada and Internationally.

Criminal intelligence (CI) has supported frontline policing by providing actionable intelligence. Their efforts have identified and led to the arrest of suspects involved in firearms crimes.

CI also wrote and shared intelligence briefs alerting law enforcement agencies of new trends.

CI continues to contribute to the National Firearms Threat Assessment written by CISC.

Source development remains a priority for the unit and it has been successful in achieving this goal.

Reduce the impact of serious firearms-related crime through continued support to law enforcement agencies, by providing specialized assistance to effectively investigate, gather and share criminal intelligence to successfully prosecute individuals involved in the illegal movement and criminal use of firearms

The use of the Canadian Integrated Ballistics Information Network (CIBIN) by law enforcement partners and any resulting "hit" for bullets and cartridge cases is an indicator of improved investigations. A CIBIN hit provides a link discovered between two crimes and between a firearm and a crime that were previously suspected to be related.

As of March 31, 2013 there have been 31,014 calls for CIBIN service across Canada; 64,295 bullets and cartridge cases have been acquired and there have been 3,248 confirmed hits linking 6,496 crimes or firearms to crimes for investigators to pursue. There are between 15 and 20 main users; over 500 different agencies have used CIBIN/IBIS.

For the fiscal year period 2012-13, 7,561 bullets and cartridge cases have been acquired and there have been 386 confirmed hits linking 772 crimes or firearms to crimes.

Greening Government Operations

The Director General, Procurement and Contracting Branch is accountable for the "promulgation and monitoring of national procurement/contracting policies" which includes all aspects of the Policy on Green Procurement. The RCMP's financial coding system has been modified to allow the tracking and monitoring of all "green" procurement activities including purchases from Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) green consolidated procurement instruments. Procedures have been established to review and vet system data for accuracy of coding and reporting. All procurement policies have been reviewed and updated for relevance including the RCMP's Policy on Green Procurement. In addition, the RCMP committed to the targets as listed in the following tables.
