1) There was a recognized need in the 1970s to improve harmonization among various international economic classifications. This led to the development of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) and a program to harmonize classifications.
2) The CPC was developed as part of this harmonization program to provide a classification covering both goods and services. It was intended to use HS subheadings for goods and reflect categories of economic supply and use from the UN's System of National Accounts (SNA).
3) A Joint Working Group on World Level Classifications was formed

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

3. Foreword
On April 24, 1997, the House of Commons passed a motion dividing on a pilot basis what was
known as the annual Part III of the Estimates document for each department or agency into two
documents, a Report on Plans and Priorities and a Departmental Performance Report.
This initiative is intended to fulfil the government’s commitments to improve the expenditure
management information provided to Parliament. This involves sharpening the focus on results,
increasing the transparency of information and modernizing its preparation.
This year, the Fall Performance Package is comprised of 80 Departmental Performance Reports
and the government’s “Managing For Results” report.
This Departmental Performance Report, covering the period ending March 31, 1998, provides a
focus on results-based accountability by reporting on accomplishments achieved against the
performance expectations and results commitments as set out in the department’s Part III of the
Main Estimates or pilot Report on Plans and Priorities for 1997-98. The key result commitments
for all departments and agencies are also included in Managing for Results.
Results-based management emphasizes specifying expected program results, developing
meaningful indicators to demonstrate performance, perfecting the capacity to generate
information and reporting on achievements in a balanced manner. Accounting and managing for
results involve sustained work across government
The government continues to refine and develop both managing for and reporting of results. The
refinement comes from acquired experience as users make their information needs more precisely
known. The performance reports and their use will continue to be monitored to make sure that
they respond to Parliament’s ongoing and evolving needs.

7. Section I: The Message
The Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat (CICS) was created by the Prime
Minister and the Premiers to provide administrative services to senior level
intergovernmental conferences. Those meetings are a dynamic and vital component of the
governance of the Canadian federation as they provide a forum for governments to
discuss common issues and coordinate their various policies and programs.
The Secretariat served more conferences in 1997-98 than in any of the last five fiscal
years. Of the 81 meetings served in 1997-98, 7 were at the level of First Ministers - an
unprecedented number which included the Calgary meeting of Premiers on national unity,
the First Ministers’ meeting in Ottawa in December and the annual Premiers’ meeting in
St. Andrews.
The survey of CICS clients on the services and operation of the Secretariat begun in
1996-97, was completed in early 1998. The resulting report by Consulting and Audit
Canada (CAC) was sent to all governments. It emphasized greater flexibility and tailoring
of services to fit the needs of client government departments. The CAC report was the
basis for discussion at a strategic planning session of CICS managers and staff held in
March 1998. Following that session, a departmental working group was appointed to
examine organizational options for the Secretariat in collaboration with CAC consultants.
The recommendations of this group will lead towards a more streamlined, effective
organization, flexible and responsive to the needs of the governments it serves.
One of the major events of our year was the launching of the CICS website. Apart from
providing information on CICS and its services, the major focus of the website is to make
available electronically the communiques from major conferences served by CICS -
virtually as soon as they are released on conference site. This service has proved
extremely popular with governments, the media, and the public at large. In the less than a
year since its inception, we have had well over 300,000 "hits". You can visit us at

Secretary, Canadian Intergovernmental
Conferences

8. Section II: Agency Overview
Mandate, Vision and Mission
The Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat (CICS) was established pursuant
to an agreement reached at the May 1973 First Ministers’ Conference, and designated a
department of the federal government by an Order-in-Council dated November 29, 1973.
In essence, its mandate is to excel in the planning, conduct, and serving of senior
intergovernmental conferences. The objective of the program is to relieve client
departments, in virtually all sectors of government activity, of the numerous technical and
administrative tasks associated with the planning and conduct of such conferences,
thereby enabling them to concentrate on the substantive issues. The Secretariat not only
provides services to federal-provincial-territorial meetings but as well to provincial-
territorial conferences.
CICS services include the set-up of conference site facilities; secretaryship; interpretation;
the translation, printing, distribution and control of documents; writing of records of
proceedings; media relations; security; and the provision of technical equipment and
secretarial assistance. In addition to the above conference services which are available
anywhere in Canada, a document archives is maintained by the Secretariat for the use of
governments.
Operating Environment
Position in the Government
Although designated a federal department for the purposes of the Financial
Administration Act, the Secretariat is in fact an agency of both the federal and provincial
governments. Not only is its budget supported by both orders of government (see
Financial Table 7a), but its staff is selected from both federal and provincial governments.
There are currently 30 full-time equivalent positions in the organization, of which 9 are
provincial employees. The Secretary reports to all governments annually. The operations
are reviewed by federal and provincial senior officials designated by their respective First
Ministers. The CICS reports to Parliament through the Prime Minister.
Objectives and Strategic Priorities
CICS provides administrative and support services for meetings of First Ministers as well
as for federal-provincial-territorial and provincial-territorial multilateral meetings of
Ministers and Deputy Ministers.
Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat 3
9. Challenges
It is important to note that the CICS does not convene intergovernmental meetings. It is
called upon to respond to decisions taken by governments to meet on key national or
specific issues. Decisions concerning the location of such meetings, their number in a
given fiscal year, their timing and duration, are all factors beyond the control of the
Secretariat. The level of CICS expenditures for each fiscal year is, however, directly
affected by these factors.
A number of significant intergovernmental issues could arise and result in a high number
of meetings being held in 1998-99. As an example, during 1997-1998, First Ministers
met on 7 occasions and 15 meetings were held in the Human Resources and Social
Services sector. Since these cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty,
supplementary funding could be required during the upcoming fiscal year under the
following circumstances:
o when there is a requirement to support an intensive round of meetings on critical
national issues; or
o when the number of conferences to be served exceeds CICS's budgetary capacity.
During 1997-1998 additional funding in the amount of $300,000 was obtained to finance
an above-average number of First Ministers’ conferences.
Business Line, Organization Composition and Organization Chart
Business Line
The Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat (CICS) is a small, one-program
agency that provides administrative services for the planning and conduct of senior level
intergovernmental conferences in virtually every sector of government activity.
Organization Structure
From its office, located in Ottawa, the CICS delivers conference services to
intergovernmental meetings held throughout Canada. The Secretary is the chief executive
officer and is appointed by the Governor-in-Council after consultation with the provincial
Premiers. The organization reports to Parliament through the Prime Minister.

10. The organization has the following sub-activities:
o Conference Services consisting of four conference teams organized to provide
administrative, logistical and technical support to individual intergovernmental
conferences throughout Canada;
o The Intergovernmental Document Centre (IDC) which provides document control and
records management for conferences served, distribution and consultation services for
public conference documents, and acts as an intergovernmental document archives for
the federal and provincial governments; and
o Financial, Personnel and Administrative Services which provides support for the
CICS as a whole.

11. Section III: Agency Performance
A. Performance Expectations
CICS must be prepared to continue providing high quality conference services to
governments in a period of rapidly developing technology and diminishing financial
resources. Particular emphasis will be placed on the adaptation and application of
advances in communications and information management technology to the provision of
conference services.
B. Presentation of Financial Information
Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat
Planned Spending $ 3,104,000
Total Authorities 3,370,743
Actual Expenditures $ 3,353,182
C. Agency Performance Accomplishments
Responsive, flexible and cost effective administrative services to conferences
In a survey conducted in 1997, CICS clients have indicated that they want greater
responsiveness and flexibility in the way administrative services are delivered. As a
result, the Secretariat is in the process of reviewing its approach which, traditionally, has
been to offer a more or less standard package of services to all clients. Instead, CICS will
offer a good number of services individually, enabling its involvement to be tailored to
the specific needs of each client group or even each conference, if required. The agency
expects that this will also help to reduce the number of employees who must travel to
conference sites to deliver these services, thereby reducing operating costs further.
With increasing operating costs, rapidly evolving technology and decreasing budgets over
the past several years, the Secretariat has had to review the way it delivers its conference
support program in an attempt to reduce costs while maintaining service quality. The
greatest savings in expenditures for the organization and ultimately to the taxpayer have
been achieved in the following two areas: advance airline bookings, combined with
weekend air travel when economical; and, the purchase or leasing of fax machines and
laser printers, instead of renting this equipment on a per-conference basis.
6 Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat
12. Given the large number of conferences served each year, the Secretariat continues to
benefit from preferential rates when procuring interpretation and audio-visual equipment
and technician services, as well as the rental of photocopiers, for example. The
organization has also eliminated some positions and maintained temporary vacancies in
others, in an attempt to reduce expenditures with respect to salaries and benefits; the
standard length of secondments for provincial government secondees has also been
extended by one year, thus reducing relocation costs.
Ability to organize conferences effectively within short-term time frame
The Secretariat is usually notified at least two or three months ahead of each upcoming
conference. Better and more regular communications with clients have enabled the
organization to benefit from even longer planning periods in recent years. However, the
expertise and the resourcefulness of its personnel have enabled the Secretariat to respond
to requests on much shorter notice, sometimes as little as one or two weeks. A case in
point was a Provincial-Territorial Finance Ministers' meeting, held in November 1997,
which the Secretariat organized in six business days. Again, the effective relationships
which CICS has built with many suppliers over the years translates into extremely fast
response times when necessary, while usually helping to avoid the additional charges that
often apply in such cases.
Fully-satisfactory post conference evaluations
The Secretariat regularly receives letters from conference chairpersons, hosts and
organizers, praising the agency and its personnel for their level of expertise, their
professionalism and the quality of the services delivered. This feedback provides a
critical means of gauging client satisfaction and identifying areas requiring improvement.
The following are extracts from the correspondence received in the past year:
I know all too well that successfully organizing a conference such as Atlantic
Vision takes a great deal of hard work and dedication on the part of those involved
behind the scenes. As was the case with the Annual Premiers' Conference in St.
Andrews, the experience CICS brought to this Conference was critical to its
success. We couldn't have done it without you!

From an operations point of view, post-conference debriefings are used, especially
following the more complex events, to discuss specific difficulties encountered and
solutions for the future. Monthly meetings of Conference Officers also provide a good
opportunity to share information and to adapt services and work processes when
necessary.
In early 1998, a post-conference report (or “checklist”) was implemented in an effort to
formalize the review and evaluation of CICS' involvement in each event it serves. This
work tool will also ensure greater continuity from one meeting to the next.
Technologically up-to-date communication and information services
Because the Secretariat’s client base is drawn from 13 governments and over 26 sectors
of government activity, we strive to provide tools to our staff that will achieve the
maximum in flexibility and technical compatibility with those in use by governments.
Pentium-based, multi-media portable and desktop systems, equipped with a full suite of
the latest word processing, spreadsheet, database, and communications applications form
the standard operating base for use by our staff both on conference site and in our home
office.
One example of new development in the area of client service was the creation of an
electronic message notification system for use at high-level conferences. This system
comprises a central database controlled by the Secretariat office and several display
monitors placed at convenient locations near the conference rooms. The display is
actively updated to notify individuals when a message or fax is awaiting pickup at the
Secretariat office. This system was used successfully at the Annual Premiers’ Conference
held in August 1997 and at the Atlantic Vision Conference in October 1997, and will
continue to be a service offering at major conferences whenever the layout of the
conference facility will accommodate the cabling requirements.
Also, in the area of communications, CICS successfully launched its World Wide Web
site in time for the Annual Premiers’ Conference in August. Since then, the Secretariat
has been able to add the key service of posting conference communiqués to our site very
shortly after the close of each conference we serve. The feedback we have received and
number of regular visitors to our site are indicative that this service is useful to
governments, media organizations, special interest groups and the general public in
Canada and elsewhere.

14. Our web site is located at http://www.scics.gc.ca. Also, Internet-access stations have been
set up for the use of conference delegates at several high-level meetings this year, and we
will continue to provide this service whenever feasible.
D. Y2K Compliance
The Secretariat has completed a Year 2000 impact assessment, and plans are underway to
resolve the issues identified. Most non-compliant equipment and software has been, or
will be, replaced by new versions as part of the regular life-cycle management process.
Our non- Y2K compliant Banyan Vines Network Operating System will be migrated to
the Windows NT platform in the fall of 1998. Since we have no legacy systems, our
corporate applications can be adjusted to accommodate a four-digit date without any
major difficulties.
A Y2K compliant version of our Financial Management package (Freebalance) will be
implemented prior to the beginning of fiscal year 1999/2000. The service providers for
On-line Pay, HRIS and Fincon have prepared (or are in the process of preparing) fixes for
these applications, and all is expected to be implemented in good time. Overall, the
Secretariat does not anticipate any significant problems with the Year 2000 four-digit
date.
E. 1997-1998 Conference Statistics
The 1997-1998 fiscal year was a very busy one for the Secretariat which served a total of
81 conferences.
During a seven-month period from May to December 1997, an unprecedented seven
conferences at the First Ministers level were held. Western Premiers gathered from May
28 to 30 in Campbell River, British Columbia, for their yearly meeting while Eastern
Canadian Premiers and New England Governors held their annual conference from June
2 to 4 in Newport, Rhode Island. A third recurring event, the Annual Premiers
Conference, took place in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick, between August 6
and 8.
Other gatherings of Premiers in 1997-98 included the Calgary meeting on national unity
held on September 14, the Atlantic Vision Conference held in Moncton on October 9 and
10, and a meeting with Leaders of National Aboriginal Organizations on November 18 in
Winnipeg. A First Ministers’ Meeting also took place in Ottawa on December 11 and 12.
As illustrated in Table 1, the Secretariat provided its support to 47 ministerial conferences
(representing 58% of all meeting served in 1997-98) and 27 conference of deputy
ministers (or exactly one third of the total).
Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat 9
15. Last fiscal year’s slight shift in conference type from federal-provincial-territorial to
provincial-territorial continued in 1997-98, the two groups ending the year with 49
meetings (60% of the total) and 32 meetings (40% of the total), respectively.
On a regional basis (see Table 2) the Western provinces hosted 18 conferences (22% of
the total) supported by CICS in 1997-98, while 22 meetings (or 27%) were served in
Atlantic Canada. Ontario and Quebec were the site of 33 and 7 conferences respectively.
Proportionally, the number of meetings served in Central Canada has steadily increased
from 32% in 1994-95 to 50% in 1997-98. The main reason for this concentration would
appear to be Toronto’s popularity as a central meeting location for senior level
intergovernmental meetings: 28 conferences (or 35% of the total served by the
Secretariat) were held in that city in 1997-98.
As per table 3, the two most active sectors in terms of conferences served by CICS in
1997-98 were Social Services and Health. Together, these two groups accounted for just
under one third of all meeting supported by the Secretariat.
Finally, the Secretariat also provided its support to the November 1997 APEC (Asia
Pacific Economic Cooperation) Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Vancouver and to several
meetings held during the months prior to the event. Three Secretariat staff personnel
were seconded to the APEC Canadian Coordinating Office (Department of Foreign
Affairs and International Trade) and the Department of Natural Resources Canada for
various periods in 1997.
F. Intergovernmental Document Centre (IDC)
Now containing in excess of 27,000 classified and unclassified documents (as per Table
4), dating as far back as 1973, and spanning all sectors of intergovernmental conference
activity, the collection is unique. In 1997-1998, 1,231 new documents were added to the
Centre’s holdings. Although the IDC is primarily for the use of governments,
unclassified materials are also made available to the public upon request and through
routine distribution to 111 legislative, university and public libraries across Canada.

These figures have been adjusted according to a revised list of sectors established in April 1994 to
reflect the re-organization of governments over the past several years. In addition, First Ministers' and
Premiers' meetings are no longer listed separately and are grouped under "Intergovernmental Affairs"
when their agenda covers more than one sector.
