  1. Union of National Defence Employees Defence Construction Canada Committee

  2. The UNDE Defence Construction Canada (DCC) Committee was established from a mandate given at the 2008 UNDE Triennial Convention. In May 2009 the DCC Committee Regional Representatives met to develop its terms of reference, guidelines for the committees’ future activities, vision, roles and responsibilities. In June 2010 the DCC Committee Regional Representatives met for the business case preparation training and to further develop an action plan.

  3. UNDE DCC COMMITTEE’S • VISION • To protect quality public service work, minimize government waste by reducing services provided by DCC, and prevent the future elimination of public service work.

  4. Defence Construction (1951) Limited, known under the Federal Identity Program as Defence Construction Canada (DCC), was incorporated, pursuant to the Defence Production Act, for the specific purposes of carrying out acquisition and delivery of defence projects.

  5. DCC ORGANIZATION

  6. DCC is accountable to parliament for its governance and management through the Minister Public Works Government Services Canada. DCC receives no funding appropriations from government. DCC relies on fees paid by DND for services provided by DCC.

  7. A RECENT exampleof DCC’s involvementin DND ....

  8. AIR COMMANDSatellite Site Rationalization Project • To develop options to remove or minimize CE support to non-AF infrastructure; allowing those resources to focus on AF issues/sites. • Selected sites to be centrally managed via an alternative means, likely through a central DND managed office using PWGSC or DCC tendered SOA contracts.

  9. Focus is on armouries and similar satellite sites with the intent to gradually move the responsibility from the Wings to a central (DND) management authority. • Existing CE caretakers will remain at the sites. Where possible gains in SWE will go back to supporting Wings if/when positions become vacant through attrition. • Develop a “Proof of concept” at 9 Wing armouries.

  14. The DND – DCC Memorandum of Understanding and SLA HandbookKey Elements ofNew DND/DCC MOU

  15. DCC is the contracting authority for infrastructure and environmental projects costing in excess of $60,000. DCC agreement must be obtained before another contracting authority procures a contract over that amount. For services costing less than $60,000, DND may acquire these services from another contracting authority.

  16. Defence Construction Canada Business Plan for Fiscal Year 2009/10 Real Property Management Services This business plan highlights the activities and initiatives planned for the newly created Real Property Management Services (RPMS) service line for FY 2009-2010. The RPMS Business Plan has been put together in consultation with the Project and Program Management (PPM) and the Construction Services Construction (CSC) National Service Line Leaders (NSLL).

  17. The purpose of the Service Line is to provide real property management support to the DND/CF in order that it can better manage its assets throughout: the plan, acquire, use and dispose life cycle in accordance with the Treasury Board Guideline on the management ofReal Property. Estimated capital expenditures in new construction from 2005 to 2025 is $8.6 billion. Who will manage and maintain the new infrastructure?

  18. Site Implementation Plan • Initiate discussions with WCEO and review potential sites. • Discuss program with WCE civilian/military staff. • Determine requirements/develop SOW. • Request funding. • Tender SOA contracts.

  19. Develop DCC site management plan. • Discuss transition plan at joint CE/DCC staff meeting. • Transfer period (approx 2 months) - transfer site documentation from CE to DCC, get DCC FM acquainted with program. • Facility Management Office (FMO) assumes site management.

  20. Regional Activities(excerpt from the DCC Business Plan for Fiscal Year 2009/10 Real Property Management Services) “ These activities and others as they develop will be brought under the RPMS SL umbrella in FY 09/10. a. NOG – all PAs supported through RAS b. Atlantic – possible MRADP support, facility management support c. Quebec – preventive maintenance, fire & life safety support d. Ontario – MRADP support, facility management support, technical support (CAD) e. Western – MRADP support, facility management support, preventive maintenance, fire & life safety support.”

  21. WHAT IMPACT WILL THIS HAVE ON UNDE MEMBERS?AS A RESULT ….. • Loss of work currently done by UNDE membership. • DCC will control the use of tradespersons. They will want to use their own contracted tradespersons, most of whom are likely not unionized. • Our Federal Apprenticeship program will suffer - Less Public Service Tradespersons will lead to less Apprentices. • Preventive Maintenance and Fire & Life Safety Support will be done by DCC in Quebec and the West scheduled for 09/10. • Loss of control over maintenance – loss of jobs.

  22. HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOUR WORKPLACE?HOW MANY PUBLIC SERVICE FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES WILL BE LOST?Using CFB Shilo as an example: Facilities Managers – 4 (2 Crew Chiefs & 2 Asst Crew Chiefs) Construction Inspecting Sub-Group – 5 Electrical Installing and Maintenance Sub-Group – 9 Elemental Sub-Group– 8 Machinery Maintaining Sub-Group– 3 Manipulating Sub-Group– 11 Painting & Construction Finishing Sub-Group –3 Pipefitting Sub-Group –8 Sheet Metal Working Sub-Group –1 Woodworking Sub-Group –4 Fire Fighters – 40 Apprentice–2

  23. In DCC’s 2009 Annual report they state: “The Corporation’s employee population reached 778 full-time staffers at the end of 2008–09. That is a 92% increase from 405 employees in 2004–05.” In comparison, UNDE’s membership (Treasury Board employees) has increased by 26.4%, from 14,163 in March 2004 to 17,901 in March 2009.

  24. Why does DND fully fund DCC’s continued growth when at the same time they question the growth of their Public Service workforce and their ability to provide services in-house? Why does DND believe that the use of DCC is fiscally responsible to the taxpayers? WHY?
