Final Evaluation of the Structured Financing Facility — Final Report
Description of Exhibit 1.4
This figure shows the relationship between Canada's trade balance and the export intensity (domestic exports as a percentage of shipments) for the shipbuilding industry (NAICS 336611) from 2000 to 2008. Overall, it shows that both the trade balance and export intensity increased over the time period. Specifically, the figure shows that in 2000, the trade deficit was approximately 90% while the shipbuilding export intensity was 5%. For 2001, the figures were approximately 90% and 10%. For 2002, the figures were approximately 50% and 7%. For 2003, the figures were approximately 70% and 15%. For 2004, the figures were approximately 22% and 10%. For 2005, the figures were approximately 75% and 11%. For 2006, the figures were approximately 40% and 11%. For 2007, the figures were approximately 20% and 22%. Finally, for 2008, the figures were approximately 70% and 12%.
Description of Exhibit 1.5
This figure shows the value of Canadian exports and imports for the period 2006 to 2009 for various shipbuilding related goods. It demonstrates that exports are relatively minor in terms of value compared to imports with the exception of "other vessels." Specifically for cruise ships, excursion boats, etc. principally designed for the transportation of persons, exports were valued at $53 million while imports were valued at $507 million. For tankers, exports were $1 million and imports were $95 million. For cargo vessels not elsewhere specified and other vessels for the transport of both persons and goods, exports were $3 million and imports were $268 million. For fishing vessels and factory ships, exports were $20 million and imports were $30 million. For tugs and pusher craft, exports were $1 million and imports were $80 million. For dredgers, exports were $15 million and imports were $20 million. For warships, exports were almost non-existent and imports were $1 million. Finally, for other vessels, not elsewhere specified and lifeboats other than rowing boats, exports were $165 million and imports were $26 million.
Description of Exhibit 1.8
This exhibit is a graphical representation of the SFF program logic model. The SFF logic model demonstrates how the program activities are expected to lead to outputs and outcomes.
There are three key activities of the program: market the program; assess and process applications and provide assistance to applicants; and, establish policies and procedures, monitor, measure and report on results. The activity, market the program, is expected to lead to the outputs of marketing documents and a website. These outputs are expected to lead to the immediate outcome that shipbuilders are aware of the program and inform potential owners. This immediate outcome, in turn, is expected to lead to other immediate outcomes that ship owners acquire/modify vessels or offshore marine structures in Canadian shipyards where, without the SFF, they may not otherwise have done so and to the creation of demand for new builds, conversions, refits and modifications in Canadian shipyards. These outcomes are then expected to lead to five intermediate outcomes:
- ongoing demand for new builds, conversions, refits and modifications in Canadian shipyards;
- maintenance or increase in number of direct and indirect shipyard jobs;
- maintenance or development in skill level of shipyard workers;
- development of innovation, adoption of new technology and improvement of productivity in Canadian shipyards; and,
- maintenance of shipbuilding capacity to meet government procurement needs.
Finally, these intermediate outcomes are expected to lead to the ultimate outcome that competitive conditions in Canadian shipyards to cost-effectively meet federal government procurement needs.
The activity, assess and process applications and provide assistance to applicants is expected to result in the outputs of advice, due diligence on project applications, project approvals and interest rate support. These outputs are expected to lead to the immediate outcomes that ship owners acquire/modify vessels or offshore marine structures in Canadian shipyards where, without the SFF, they may not otherwise have done so and to the creation of demand for new builds, conversions, refits and modifications in Canadian shipyards. These outcomes are then expected to lead to five intermediate outcomes:
- ongoing demand for new builds, conversions, refits and modifications in Canadian shipyards;
- maintenance or increase in number of direct and indirect shipyard jobs;
- maintenance or development in skill level of shipyard workers;
- development of innovation, adoption of new technology and improvement of productivity in Canadian shipyards; and,
- maintenance of shipbuilding capacity to meet government procurement needs.
Finally, these intermediate outcomes are expected to lead to the ultimate outcome that competitive conditions in Canadian shipyards to cost-effectively meet federal government procurement needs.
The activity, establish policies and procedures and monitor, measure and report on results, is expected to lead to the outputs of due diligence on projects, program adjustments, performance reports, audits and evaluations. These outputs are expected to lead to the immediate outcomes that ship owners acquire/modify vessels or offshore marine structures in Canadian shipyards where, without the SFF, they may not otherwise have done so and to the creation of demand for new builds, conversions, refits and modifications in Canadian shipyards. These outcomes are then expected to lead to five intermediate outcomes:
- ongoing demand for new builds, conversions, refits and modifications in Canadian shipyards;
- maintenance or increase in number of direct and indirect shipyard jobs;
- maintenance or development in skill level of shipyard workers;
- development of innovation, adoption of new technology and improvement of productivity in Canadian shipyards; and,
- maintenance of shipbuilding capacity to meet government procurement needs.
Finally, these intermediate outcomes are expected to lead to the ultimate outcome that competitive conditions in Canadian shipyards to cost-effectively meet federal government procurement needs.
