Water quality in Canadian rivers – Water quality at monitoring sites

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Water quality in Canadian rivers indicators provide a measure of the ability of river water across Canada to support plants and animals. At each monitoring site, water quality data are compared to water quality guidelines to create a rating for the site. If measured water quality is below the guidelines, it can maintain a healthy ecosystem. Water quality at a monitoring site is considered excellent when substances in a river are very rarely measured above their guidelines. Conversely, water quality is rated poor when measurements are usually above their guidelines, sometimes by a wide margin. These indicators provide information about the state of surface water quality and its change through time, to support water resource management. Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See the supplementary documentation for the data sources and details on how the data were collected and how the indicator was calculated.

Evaluation and Audit of the Global Arctic Leadership Initiative, 2020-21 to 2023-24

Since the 1990s, Global Affairs Canada (GAC) has supported the international dimension of Canada’s Arctic priorities through a series of funds. In 2020, these funds were expanded and became the Global Arctic Leadership Initiative (GALI), designed to bolster Canadian leadership and enhance participation of Arctic and northern Canadians in international forums.

The joint evaluation and audit of the Global Arctic Leadership Initiative (2020-21 to 2023-24) examined strengths, gaps and opportunities, particularly in terms of program processes, and assessed whether a management framework was in place to support effective program delivery and the management of funds. The evaluation found that GALI’s activities have become increasingly relevant within an emerging context in which Canada seeks to express its presence in the Arctic. Initial underspending was worsened by the COVID pandemic and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the inability of some implementing partners to use budgeted funds. The context of the Arctic posed challenges, including the need to adapt approaches to work with small, Indigenous or non-traditional implementing partners who may not always have a track record with GAC, which required more intensive support from program staff.

CFIA Undeclared Allergens and Gluten in Herb and Spice Products - 2015-2016 & 2017-2018

​​The main objective of this survey was to obtain additional information regarding the presence and levels of undeclared soy and gluten in ground spice and herb products. ​​2 surveys were completed to assess the presence of undeclared allergens and gluten in herb and spice products. 
The initial survey took place from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016, in which the main objective was to obtain baseline information regarding the presence and levels of undeclared allergens in ground herbs and spices consisting of only 1 ingredient. 598 samples were tested, and 34% (203) of the samples were found to contain at least 1 undeclared allergen, including the milk protein beta-lactoglobulin (BLG), egg, hazelnut, peanut, sesame, soy, and gluten.  These positive results mostly indicated the presence of gluten in imported products. 
The second, follow-up survey took place between April 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018, and provided more in depth information regarding levels of undeclared allergens and gluten in imported herb and spice products. 359 samples were tested, and 23% (82) of the samples were found to contain at least 1 undeclared allergen, including milk proteins BLG and casein, egg, almond, hazelnut, peanut, sesame, soy, and gluten. These positive results were primarily due to the presence of undeclared gluten. 
In the 2015-16 survey, 3 spice products containing gluten were deemed to represent a health risk and were recalled. Another 3 products were recalled after the 2017-18 survey due to high levels of gluten, milk, and sesame.

GC HR and Pay - Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA), Compensation Virtual Assistant (CVA)

Treasury Board’s [Directive on Automated Decision](https://www.tbs-sct.canada.ca/pol/doc-eng.aspx?id=32592)-Making mandates the use of the Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA) tool to evaluate the risks and potential impacts associated with automated decision-making systems. Additional information on the structure and use of the AIA, including how to interpret the scoring and impact levels assigned by the tool, can be found at the [Algorithmic Impact Assessment tool](https://www.canada.ca/en/government/system/digital-government/digital-government-innovations/responsible-use-ai/algorithmic-impact-assessment.html) website. 

As part of its Human Capital Management Portfolio, Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is launching production of the Compensation Virtual Assistant (CVA). The CVA is a search tool that validates Compensation Advisors inquiries against approved policies and generates clear, structured summaries including links to the original document. This reduces the time required to review and resolve pay cases and minimizes the need for manual searches through multiple documents such as Collective Bargaining Agreements, Terms & Conditions, Directives, and Pay Rate Implementation Bulletins.  

By minimizing repetitive manual searches across policies and collective agreements, the Compensation Virtual Assistant tool enables Compensation Advisors to focus on complex or sensitive files, improving both the quality and timeliness of case resolution. 

Ultimately, the Compensation Virtual Assistant improves the pay experience for public servants by supporting more efficient, accurate, and consistent case handling, thereby reinforcing confidence in the pay system across the Government of Canada.
