Questions 13-16
Qs & As on the Implementation of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in theDepartment of Justice
The financial management environment in the federal government is changing.
There is an expectation for greater stewardship over financial resources, coupled
with an expectation that CFOs and their team will play the role of strategic
business partner, providing value-added analysis and advice to the organization.
The Financial Management Policy Framework (FMPF) developed by Treasury
Board Secretariat sets the standard for stewardship over financial resources and
sets minimum requirements for CFO strategic advisory services. The
________approved TB Policy on Financial Management Governance and its
accompanying Guideline on Chief Financial Officer Qualifications took effect on
April 1, 2009, requiring the establishment of a CFO Office within the Department
of Justice in a way that respects the prescribed processes.

Activities in light of the upcoming FMPF was produced. The assessment
identified gaps, and a number of these will be addressed with the implementation

Questions 21-24
In September 2008, an international conference on the varieties of French used
around the world was held in Quebec City. Among the topics addressed were the
8/14/2019 Written Expression CAN
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/written-expression-can 9/25
common reference standard. A few weeks earlier, at the World Congress of the
International Federation of Teachers of French (FIPF), I had the opportunity to
share our thoughts on the same topic. Following these events and the ensuing
discussions, we felt the time had come to provide an update on the linguistic
standard issue as it relates to Quebec. We also believe that priority must now be
given to language proficiency.
The statement issued by the Conseil supérieur de la langue française, entitled La
question de la norme linguistique, will be posted online at the CSLF Web site
(www) (Available only in French) in October. The statement contends that the
varieties of French used around the world are expressions of one and the same
language. They share essentially the same grammar, phonology and vocabulary,that is, the same operating rules. Since these communities are increasingly in
contact with one another, ____________variety of French also builds at least to
a fair extent on similar sociocultural models. Each variety also shares a secular
literary corpus that is a universal Francophone cultural heritage, to which are
added the various national French-language literatures. French is what is
teached in Quebec, Belgium, Africa, the Caribbean and elsewhere. In this shared
grammar, phonology and vocabulary, we see a central standard of good usage, a
common reference standard that welds all the varieties of French into one
language, giving it some stability and maintaining intercomprehension.

According toa survey conducted by Statistics Canada, in which respondents were asked toindicate their level of stress at work, 38.8% of Canadians between the ages of 15and 75 are slightly stressed at work, 25% are relatively stressed at work, while
5.4% are extremely stressed at work (Statistics Canada, 2002 - updated inSeptember 2004).
_______the provincial level, surveys conducted by Santé Québec between 1987and 1998 on Quebecers' health and well-being show that the inability to work dueto mental health problems almost doubled, increasing from 7 to 13%. Thesesurveys also show that the average number of missed work days per person for mental health reasons more than tripled between 1992 and 1998, jumping from7.4 to 24.6 days per 100 people, a 200% increase (Vézina & Bourbonnais, 2001).

While work stress is a health problem, it has also became an economic problemfor many people and organizations and for society in general. The results of aWatson Wyatt survey conducted in 2002-2003 (which surveyed 180organizations, representing more than 500,000 full-time Canadian__________)show how widespread this phenomenon is among Canadian organizations(Davey, DeBortoli, Parker, & Smolkin, 2003).

entitled Staying@Work, psychological disorders are the main cause of short-termand long-term disability claims (for 79% and 73% of respondents, respectively).Moreover, the average length of stress-related absences in the United States isfour times higher than for absences resulting from workplace accidents andoccupational diseases (Webster & Bergman, 1999). As a result, we can assume
that the cost of absenteeism due to stress is correspondingly higher.
Although absences related to mental health problems are, for the most part,addressed in group wage-loss indemnity plans, the financial and human impactsof this type of problem can also be reflected in the number of claims that workerssubmit to the Workers' Compensation Commission. For example, between 1990and 1997, the number of claims accepted by the Commission de la santé et de lasécurité du travail du Québec (CSST) as workplace injuries related to stress,burnout or other psychological factors almost doubled, jumping from 530 to 994cases. The amount of payouts also increased from $1.5 million to $5.1 millionannually
