[management of personnel] Against a backdrop of change and workplace renewal, the Board continued to monitor and provide direction to CRA’s efforts in talent management, succession planning, and knowledge management. The Board provided guidance and monitored the CRA’s human resources change management strategy to ensure that the CRA was adopting an enterprise-wide approach to manage the people dimension of change while effectively managing the transfer of employees to Shared Services Canada, and the return of British Columbia provincial employees following the province’s decision to restore the provincial sales tax. The Board also provided direction and guidance on the evolution of the CRA’s Integrity Framework, which formalizes the CRA’s culture of integrity through workplace policies, programs, and processes. This entailed the review and approval of an updated discipline policy and discussion surrounding necessary revisions to the CRA’s Code of Ethics and Conduct. Finally, the Board closely monitored collective bargaining negotiations with the Audit, Financial and Scientific Group of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, including the review and approval of the CRA’s negotiating mandate. As was the case last year when negotiating with the Public Service Alliance of Canada, these negotiations required that the CRA and the Board carefully balance the interests of the CRA while keeping in mind government-wide considerations, including the elimination of severance. A tentative agreement, which has since been ratified, was reached in March 2012. [board governance] To maintain leadership in adopting board best practices, the Board continued to examine its governance practices and looked at ways to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of its processes, while increasing its engagement in key strategic discussions. In 2011-2012, the Board leveraged its members’ expertise and struck two ad-hoc subcommittees, the Operations ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 CANADA REVENUE AGENCY Review Advisory Subcommittee and Information Technology-Focussed Operations Review Advisory Subcommittee. Both subcommittees provided timesensitive strategic advice, insight, and guidance to management. Given the challenging environment, a number of ad–hoc teleconferences were held to engage the Board on real-time strategic discussions, in addition to the regularly scheduled teleconferences and meetings. The Board also held its annual strategic planning meeting with the CRA’s senior management to engage in discussions about the CRA’s ambitious transformation agenda. [conclusion] In 2011-2012, the Board continued to provide strong oversight of the organization and administration of the CRA, including the management of its resources, services, property, personnel, and contracts. The Board also provided management with real–time strategic insights and guidance, positioning the CRA so it can advance its strategic vision, while remaining focused on its core business and mandate.

They include the Chair, the Commissioner and Chief Executive Officer, a director nominated by each province, one director nominated by the territories, and two directors nominated by the federal government.
