$97,850,000.00

Description:

Program Objectives and Expected Results The overall objective of the contribution program is to recognize the unique policing environment created by the presence of federal landmarks (e.g., War Memorial), institutions and events of national significance in the Nation’s Capital. These exceptional circumstances lead to extraordinary policing costs for the Ottawa Police Service. In recognition of these exceptional circumstances the program: Enables the City of Ottawa to seek financial assistance from the Government of Canada, through a negotiated contribution agreement, for eligible extraordinary, reasonable and justifiable policing costs incurred in relation to policing duties specific to the Nation’s Capital; and Allows the Government of Canada to reimburse the eligible costs to the City of Ottawa, through a contribution program. The objectives of the program fall within the Department’s core responsibility for Community Safety and within the Law Enforcement and Policing Program. The program contributes to the achievement of the Department’s policy objectives to promote the safety and security of Canadian communities and institutions.
