Arctic waters surveillance : report of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts / John Williamson, chair.: XC16-1/1-451-6E-PDF

"The Auditor General of Canada found in a 2022 performance audit that the federal government has not taken adequate action to address long standing gaps affecting its surveillance of Canada's Arctic waters. Key findings of the audit include: federal organizations' actions did not address long-standing gaps in the surveillance of Arctic Waters; while the Marine Security Operations Centres helped federal organizations collaborate on building maritime domain awareness, weaknesses in the mechanisms that support information sharing, decision making, and accountability affected the Centres' efficiency; fleets, equipment, and infrastructure used for monitoring maritime traffic need timely replacement and enhancement; existing infrastructure improvement projects were behind schedule and that the Nanisivik Naval Facility will not effectively support the vessels that operate in the Arctic. This report of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts makes 2 recommendations to ensure that the Auditor General's recommendations are adequately addressed, and that the Government of Canada provide evidence of this to the Committee through progress reports"--Provided by publisher.
