Automated Fresh Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance Data

Historical water quality data measured on a continuous basis at over 23 locations across Canada is included in this dataset. Most locations include hourly temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductance and turbidity. Data are collected by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and in partnership with other federal departments and provinces and territories to enable the detection of short-term water quality events, and to determine trends in water quality, especially at transboundary sites (or Federal waters) in support of Federal legislation and international agreements, or to report on the status of Government of Canada priority aquatic ecosystems.

2024-25 Estimates

In order to make expenditures, the government must receive Parliament’s approval, either through previously adopted legislation or, on an annual basis, through the introduction and passage of appropriation bills. Prior to the introduction of each appropriation bill, the President of the Treasury Board tables an Estimates publication (Main or Supplementary) in Parliament to provide information and details on spending authorities sought.

Preliminary Considerations Analysis of Offshore Wind Energy in Atlantic Canada

Offshore wind represents a potentially significant source of low-carbon energy for Canada, and ensuring that relevant, high-quality data and scientifically sound analyses are brought forward into decision-making processes will increase the chances of success for any future deployment of offshore wind in Canada. To support this objective, CanmetENERGY-Ottawa (CE-O), a federal laboratory within Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), completed a preliminary analysis of relevant considerations for offshore wind, with an initial focus on Atlantic Canada. To conduct the analysis, CE-O used geographic information system (GIS) software and methods and engaged with multiple federal government departments to acquire relevant data and obtain insights from subject matter experts on the appropriate use of these data in the context of the analysis. The purpose of this work is to support the identification of candidate regions within Atlantic Canada that could become designated offshore wind energy areas in the future.  
  
  The study area for the analysis included the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the western and southern coasts of the island of Newfoundland, and the coastal waters south of Nova Scotia. Twelve input data layers representing various geophysical, ecological, and ocean use considerations were incorporated as part of a multi-criteria analysis (MCA) approach to evaluate the effects of multiple inputs within a consistent framework. Six scenarios were developed which allow for visualization of a range of outcomes according to the influence weighting applied to the different input layers and the suitability scoring applied within each layer.  
  
  This preliminary assessment resulted in the identification of several areas which could be candidates for future designated offshore wind areas, including the areas of the Gulf of St. Lawrence north of Prince Edward Island and west of the island of Newfoundland, and areas surrounding Sable Island. This study is subject to several limitations, namely missing and incomplete data, lack of emphasis on temporal and cumulative effects, and the inherent subjectivity of the scoring scheme applied. Further work is necessary to address data gaps and take ecosystem wide impacts into account before deployment of offshore wind projects in Canada’s coastal waters. Despite these limitations, this study and the data compiled in its preparation can aid in identifying promising locations for further review.  
  
  A description of the methodology used to undertake this study is contained in the accompanying report, available at the following link: https://doi.org/10.4095/331855. This report provides in depth detail into how these data layers were compiled and details any analysis that was done on the data to produce the final data layers in this package.

Canada Energy Regulator (formerly National Energy Board) Fees Report

The Service Fees Act (SFA) provides a modern legislative framework that enables cost-effective delivery of services and, through better reporting to Parliament, improves transparency and oversight.

On August 28, 2019, the National Energy Board (NEB) became the CER as per the Canadian Energy Regulator Act (CER Act). This report covers both the CER, which has an explicit legislative exemption from the SFA, and its predecessor, which did not have an explicit exemption. In addition, pursuant to the Interpretation Act, the NEB Cost Recovery Regulations remain in effect for the CER until new cost recovery regulations are made under the CER Act. Financial information included in this report was separated for each distinct organization.

Last year, a detailed listing of individual fees under the organization’s authority and the anticipated increases were added to the reporting requirements. This year's report provides more explicit detail on each fee, such as the type of fee per each section within the NEB Cost Recovery Regulations. This information provides additional context on each fee, in the spirit of open and transparent fee management.
Over 2019-20, the organization embraced its new mandate under the CER Act regulating infrastructure to ensure safe and efficient delivery of energy to Canadians and the world; protecting the environment; respecting the rights of Indigenous peoples and providing timely and relevant energy information and analysis.

Complaint Resolution

The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) receives a variety of complaints with respect to reclamation, crop damage/loss, water or tile drainage, noise, damages caused as a result of construction, concerns with communication/interactions by company representatives or other organizations.
Complaints that are managed in the complaint resolution program are issues of concern received by the CER from those who are affected by federally-regulated energy infrastructure and the physical activities of the company.  Complainants can be Indigenous Groups, other companies, municipalities, contractors, government agencies, landowner associations, landowners and Non-Government Organizations (NGO)’s. 
When a complaint is received, the CER will recommend in collaboration with parties, the appropriate process to resolve the issue.  If the issue relates to a compliance matter within an existing compliance verification program, the CER may direct certain actions be taken to resolve non-compliance before other issues are resolved.  If parties are unable to come to an agreement on their own or through mediation, the CER will decide the matter. Parties can also choose to withdraw their complaint or request that the CER put their complaint file on hold while they attempt to resolve the matter.

Ionosphere images from Alouette satellites

Designed and assembled in Canada, Alouette-1 was the first satellite built by a nation other than the United States or the Soviet Union. It was constructed at a time when most satellites had a useful lifespan of a few months. Although Alouette-1 was as complex as any previously launched satellite, rapidly advancing technology and the extreme care exercised in all phases of Alouette-1’s development had led the Canadian builders to expect that their satellite would operate for at least 1 year. However, Alouette-1 operated for 10 years. In its first 3 months of operation, Alouette-1 produced some of the most exciting data obtained during the entire 50-year history of ionospheric research, and it continued to provide valuable information until its 10th birthday. Alouette-1 is best known for its swept-frequency topside sounder experiment. The other experiments (VLF, cosmic noise, and energetic particle measurements) were, however, equally successful, and they also remained operational for 10 years. The Alouette-1 mission resulted in over 300 publications in refereed scientific journals. About 80 percent of Alouette-1 publications were based on the ionograms obtained from the topside sounder experiment. In its first 3 years of operation, Alouette-1 obtained over a million ionograms, each equivalent to a snapshot of the ionosphere from the Alouette-1 altitude of 1000 km down to an altitude of about 300 km. These ionograms have provided data at all geomagnetic latitudes and at geographic latitudes ranging from 80° N to 80° S. After 10 years, Alouette-1 had produced 2 million ionograms.
Please note that the metadata and parameters extracted from the ionogram images (see more about the extraction process) found in the "Processed ionogram data" file are provided primarily for demonstration purposes. These values are subject to error, and should not be directly used in a scientific context.
