Chairperson's Message
I am pleased to present the 2020-21 Departmental Results Report for the Military Police Complaints Commission of Canada (MPCC).
This past year, the MPCC responded quickly to pandemic-driven changes. Our business is now largely conducted digitally, with widespread telework and the use of internet-based tools for collaboration, virtual meetings and even virtual outreach activities. The MPCC has emphasized employee mental wellness and safety during the pandemic. We are proud of the diversity and inclusiveness of our workforce, which has been created through conscious decisions over recent years. I can say with confidence that our statistics are well above the Public Service average.
Throughout adapting to a changing environment, we continued to promote the highest standards of conduct of Military Police members in the performance of their duties, and to ensure the integrity of Military Police investigations through our monitoring and investigation of complaints. In doing so, we continued to review our investigation guidelines and processes on a regular basis in order to achieve continued improvement in the timelines, efficiency and fairness of the complaints process.
In addition, this year marked the Third Independent Review of the National Defence Act (NDA). The Commission submitted a comprehensive brief to the Independent Review Authority on various suggested changes to Part IV of the National Defence Act, which deals with the military police complaints process. The MPCC submitted 24 proposals on the subjects of expanded access to information, more fair and efficient procedures and Military Police independence.
Finally, we are consciously striving to maintain open and productive relationships in our interactions with the Canadian Armed Forces through the MPCC's Outreach Program, which is key to building relationships with the Military Police, the community they serve and the public at large.
Within the MPCC, I remain grateful to our Commission Members and staff for their unswerving support.

Results: what we achieved
Core responsibility
Independent Oversight of the Military Police
Description:
Promotes and ensures the highest standards of conduct of Military Police in the performance of policing duties and discourages interference in any Military Police investigation through independent and impartial reviews, investigations and hearings which result in sound findings and recommendations in response to complaints about or by Military Police members as well as through outreach activities.
Results:
During 2020-21, the MPCC started the pilot of a new virtual outreach program to military bases across Canada and:
- Delivered three virtual presentations to the Canadian Forces Military Police Academy in Borden, Ontario;
- Delivered virtual presentations to military police personnel and to Military Family Resources Centers at bases in Dundurn and Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan;
- Received feedback from participants with 100% positive responses on participant evaluations.
Throughout the reporting year, the MPCC continued to develop a collaborative relationship with the Canadian Forces Provost Marshal (CFPM), the Deputy Commander Canadian Forces Military Group/Professional Standards (DComd CF MP Gp/PS) and other senior Military Police staff to foster an environment that supports the acceptance and implementation of MPCC recommendations. This included holding bi-annual meetings between the two organizations to resolve file specific issues in an effort to improve the complaints process and facilitate disclosure requests to the MPCC.
In 2020-21, the MPCC continued to refine the planning and conduct of its investigations with a view to improving the overall timeliness of its investigations and ensure that the resources devoted to a file matched its complexity. There was a slight drop from 97% to 90% of files completed within 18 months of receipt of disclosure. However, this drop is due to one exceptionally complex case which required more time to resolve. In addition, it is worth noting that during this fiscal year, there was a pause on interviews for several months while the MPCC moved to a platform which allowed for virtual interviews in a Protected B environment. Similarly, during the transition to a more virtual environment, there was a delay in responding to three requests for information within the 48 hour timeline as we adjusted our procedures to account for the restrictions due to the pandemic. The MPCC also continued work with the Department of Justice Legislative Section in redrafting its Rules of Procedures to take into account the MPCC's experience with the requirements of a Public Interest Hearing (PIH) and innovations that will result in more efficient and accessible hearings. This would also enable the MPCC to conduct electronic hearings in the future.
The Commission also prepared and submitted a comprehensive brief to the Independent Review Authority in the context of the Third Independent Review of the National Defence Act (NDA). The MPCC submitted 24 proposals on various suggested changes to Part IV of the NDA, which deals with the military police complaints process on the subjects of expanded access to information, more fair and efficient procedures and Military Police independence.
In addition, the MPCC adapted to the restrictions on travel and gatherings which started in March 2020 by modernizing its Outreach Program by piloting virtual outreach sessions. Those sessions, which were designed to increase and maintain awareness, transparency and accountability in the complaints process, continued throughout the Pandemic:
- MPCC staff made virtual presentations to the Canadian Forces Military Police Academy (CFMPA) in Borden, Ontario and to bases in Dundurn and Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan as well as one in-person presentation to the CAF Base in Cornwall, Ontario;
- Participants' feedback remained positive with 100% positive responses on participant evaluations. Feedback received was used to continuously improve the content and style of presentations.
Gender-based analysis plus
The objective of the MPCC's GBA+ Strategy is to build departmental capacity, identify relevant GBA+ parameters, determine how data will be tracked and used as well as increase accountability. This fiscal year, the MPCC worked on strengthening its evidence base and expertise by engaging the Canadian Forces Provost Marshal (CFPM) on the collection of statistical data that could be used to facilitate the consideration of GBA+ factors in the review of conduct and interference complaints. The MPCC also began to map available information and statistical data that is related to GBA+ factors. In addition, over the review period, the MPCC made it mandatory for the operations staff to complete GBA+ training and encouraged other employees to do so as well.
Experimentation
In 2020-21, the MPCC continued to experiment with technology by implementing collaborative tools in a Protected B cloud environment and using new engagement tools. This new technology enabled the department to pilot a virtual outreach program and rethink how outreach will be delivered in the future. The pilot tested the use of virtual video conferencing platforms to host virtual meetings and engagement tools to interact with participants.
Participants' evaluations demonstrated positive feedbacks on both the virtual model and the engagement tools used during the sessions. What was learned from the pilot will guide the creation of a revamped Outreach program which will allow for more regular and more accessible sessions held at a national level.
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
In 2020-21, the MPCC continued to support the transition to a low-carbon economy through green procurement in support of the Support for United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12.7 – Ensure sustainable consumption by:
- Ensuring decision makers have the necessary training and awareness to support green procurement; and
- Ensuring training is provided to acquisition cardholders on green procurement.

Results
In 2020-21, the MPCC renewed and improved several of its core operating policies to align with new government wide policies implemented by the Treasury Board Secretariat. As such, the MPCC Executive Committee reviewed and approved:
- The updated Departmental Security Plan (DSP) that guides the Chief Security Officer in the renewal of security procedures and policies to align with the new policy on Government Security;
- The new Policy on Prevention of Harassment and Violence in the Workplace in accordance with the Work Place Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulations;
- The revised human resources delegation instrument in conformity with the new Policy on People Management.
During the review period, the MPCC established Protected B status for its cloud computing solutions to improve collaboration and transition from an infrastructure‑based IT to a cloud‑based IT solution.
In addition, the MPCC continued to support employee development through training and on-the-job learning. Over the last year, spending on training represented over 1.8% of personnel expenditures. This included language training and providing access to various learning and developmental opportunities such as coaching. The Commission continued to implement talent management plans for employees who surpassed their work objectives for the year and by providing acting opportunities to high performing employees.
During the reporting period, the MPCC raised awareness about the importance of mental health and wellbeing through quarterly conversations at all staff-meetings, the promotion of events and by signing a service agreement with the Health Canada Harassment and Violence Unit to provide arm length complaint investigation services.
The MPCC also continued to promote diversity and inclusion measures by celebrating diversity and highlighting key events throughout the year that were representative of its employees such as Black, Asian and Islamic history months.

The following graph presents planned (voted and statutory spending) over time.
Spending | 2018-19 | 2019-20 | 2020-21 | 2021-22 | 2022-23 | 2023-24 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Statutory | 402,395 | 421,740 | 467,324 | 436,817 | 437,275 | 428,395 |

The MPCC's overall spending increased in 2020-21 compared to the previous two years. The overall increase is fully attributable to the increase in Personnel expenditures, as a result of being fully staffed and the retroactive payments of newly signed collective agreements. This is evident in both statutory and voted spending. All other expenditures remained relatively even.
Planned spending for 2021-22 reflect our Main Estimates, while planned spending for the following two years reflect our Annual Reference Level Updates (ARLU).

Net cost of operations before government funding and transfers | 5,170,558 | 5,430,563 | 5,194,016 | 260,005 | 236,547 |
The MPCC's total expenses for 2020-21 were significantly more than originally reported, with a difference of 260K, equivalent to a 5% increase. The planned result figure is derived from the Main Estimates, which do not include additional funding received throughout the year such as the operating budget carry-forward and collective agreement funding. The planned result amount is monitored and updated throughout the year as funding is received.
When comparing actual results in 2020-21 to the previous year, the MPCC saw an increase of $237K, equivalent to a 4.5% increase in expenses. The majority of the increase is salary-related as the MPCC was fully staffed and also paid out retroactive payments resulting from newly signed collective agreements.
Financial information | 2020–21 | 2019–20 | Difference (2020–21 minus 2019–20) |
---|---|---|---|
Total net liabilities | 646,775 | 688,219 | (41,444) |
Total net financial assets | 326,579 | 486,065 | (159,486) |
Departmental net debt | 320,196 | 202,154 | 118,042 |
Total non-financial assets | 608,478 | 745,755 | (137,277) |
Departmental net financial position | 288,281 | 543,601 | (255,320) |
Departmental net debt increased in 2020‑21, primarily due to a decrease in the amount due from the Consolidated Revenue Fund. As for the decrease in non-financial assets, this is a result of a decrease in capital asset acquisitions and an increase in amortization expenses relating to major leasehold improvements back in 2017‑18.
The above combination resulted in a $255K drop in the departmental net financial position compared to the previous fiscal year.
