Spruce budworm: measurement of foliage on balsam fir and white spruce for absolute density estimation

We measured the foliage area, weight and number of buds on young and mature balsam fir and white spruce trees. With these measurements total amounts of foliage per tree and per unit area of forest land can be calculated. These estimates can be used to determine the absolute numbers of insects feeding on these trees, numbers that are important in understanding patterns and fluctuations of population abundance. We also discovered that spruce budworm larvae occur preferentially in buds arranged in clusters.

Departmental Results Framework indicators 2020-2021 Edition – Indicator 5: Service Satisfaction Index

This indicator measures the level of satisfaction with CRA’s services which is an indication of client-centric service. Client-centric service has been empirically shown to predict trust, which in turn promotes cooperation and compliance. 
This indicator captures Canadian taxpayers’ and tax preparers’ level of satisfaction with up to three aspects of service quality across service channels. The three aspects of service quality cover: process quality, information quality and interpersonal quality. The service channels include: mail, web, and telephone. The mail and web channels do not include the interpersonal quality dimension.
The Service Satisfaction index is based on a 10-pt Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The index is computed by calculating the blended average of responses to survey questions. Data is collected through a survey that is contracted out to an external party.

Temporary Foreign Worker Program 2010-2017

Understanding Labour Market Impact Assessment statistics: This release displays annual Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) statistics related to positions, geographical location, occupations, sectors and foreign workers by country of origin.
It is important to note that the decision to issue a work permit rests with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and that not all positions on a positive LMIA result in a work permit. As well, there may also be a time delay between the date the temporary foreign worker (TFW) obtains the work permit and the date they enter Canada. For these reasons, data provided in the LMIA statistics cannot be used to calculate the number of TFWs that have entered or will enter Canada. 
IRCC publishes annual statistics on the number of foreign workers who enter Canada in its Facts and Figures publication: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/statistics/menu-fact.asp. These statistics are based on the number of work permits issued at ports of entry and encompass a variety of program streams beyond the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), such as temporary residents entering Canada to work, study or for humanitarian and compassionate reasons. 
Effective February 2018, LMIAs in support of Permanent Residence (PR) are excluded from TFWP statistics reporting, unless reported separately. This may impact statistics reported over time.

Evaluation of the implementation of Gender-Based Analysis Plus at the Canadian Space Agency

This report presents the findings of the evaluation of the Implementation of Gender-Based Analysis Plus
 practices at Canadian Space Agency (CSA) since the CSA’s GBA+ Policy
took effect in 2017. This is the first thematic evaluation at the CSA and it was carried out by the CSA’s Audit and Evaluation 
Directorate between January 2020 and March 2021. This evaluation is included in the CSA's five-year 
Evaluation Plan and was conducted in accordance with the Treasury Board of Canada's Policy on Results 
(2016). 
The concept of GBA Plus is not new to the federal government and has existed for decades through the 
principles of gender equality. In recent years though, the Government of Canada has placed a greater 
emphasis and commitment to advance equality and diversity and inclusion by closing the gaps between 
diverse groups of women, men and gender diverse people. As a result, GBA Plus is taking a more prominent 
place in the way the Government of Canada develops and delivers its programs. Federal departments and 
agencies have a pivotal role to play in ensuring that GBA Plus considerations are identified and that 
inequalities are corrected within the context of their respective programs and policies. As such, the CSA 
has the role and responsibility to promote these values to the Canadian space community and align itself 
with these priorities to make the Canadian space sector a more inclusive and diverse sector, and ensure its 
space projects and initiatives benefit diverse groups of Canadians equally and equitably to their best ability. 
The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of the CSA’s GBA Plus
practices and internal processes in support of decision-making. The evaluation applied a mix methods
approach for gathering data which included a comparative study, a literature and document review, an 
online survey to CSA employees, and individual or group interviews with internal and external stakeholders.

Wage Rates for Federal Construction Contracts

The right to fair wages and working conditions extends to trades workers employed on construction sites under federal contracts, and is guaranteed under the Fair Wages and Hours of Labour Act and Regulations. Whenever contractors bid on federal construction projects, they must agree to meet the conditions defined in this Act and pay the wages established by the Labour Program in support of the Act and its regulations.
The Fair Wages and Hours of Labour Act and Regulations ensure that all workers, tradespeople and subcontractors employed on federal government construction contracts benefit from fair wages and working conditions. Contractors must post a copy of the labour conditions prominently in the workplace, and keep records that demonstrate these conditions are being met, should they be requested by a Labour Program inspector.

Note: The Fair Wages and Hours of Labour Act and Regulations were repealed on January 1, 2014. All federal construction contracts that contain a fair wage clause will continue to be governed by provisions of the Act and Regulations for the duration of that contract.

Vehicle drivers hours of service under federal jurisdiction

Hours of work for drivers including bus operators, city motor vehicle operators, and highway motor vehicle operators involved in the interprovincial and international transport of goods or passengers and in the transport of mail on contract with Canada Post are modified by the Motor Vehicle Operators Hours of Work Regulations, replacing sections 169 and 171 of Part III of the Canada Labour Code.

The ESDC - Labour Program conducts motor vehicle operator surveys for drivers employed by a federal jurisdiction employer to establish whether a driver is considered to be a city motor vehicle operator or a highway motor vehicle operator. The surveys also determine the prevailing industry practice in the geographical area where the driver is employed. If a driver is uncertain whether a particular survey applies to them, they should contact their local Labour Program office.

Maximum hours of work are defined by the Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations administered by Transport Canada:
