EOWC Environmental Services

This lost value can be thought of as the minimum capital infrastructure deficit in environmental services; however, there are also significant unfunded liabilities and legacy costs – likely to be a minimum of $100 million – that must also be considered. And these costs do not include costs for new or expanded landfills. As a result, the combined capital infrastructure deficit in Environmental Services is likely to be in excess of $700 million. Taking anticipated annual capital maintenance expenditures plus capital expenditures to address the infrastructure deficit into account, Rural Eastern Ontario should be investing at least $131 million a year in Environmental Services assets. Currently, the region is investing roughly $85 million a year (on average), suggesting an annual capital investment shortfall of at least $46 million. Annual landfill monitoring requirements (post closure costs) will add at least another $1 million to this amount for the next 10 years, rising thereafter.

Accelerating Government Innovation and Modernization With Cloud

whitePaper | April 6, 2020

Government agencies are at an important crossroads. For years they’ve faced mandates to modernize IT, but many have made limited progress. Now, with increasing citizen demands and other mission requirements, agencies are under pressure to adopt newer technologies. Faced with aging systems that are not up to the task — along with the need to reduce security risks and improve efficiencies — cloud is emerging as the primary vehicle for transforming government agencies.

Security Clearances for Contractors and Government Employees

whitePaper | January 29, 2020

Individual government contractors face more rigorous scrutiny, as private companies can monitor employee’s social media as part of their continuous vetting and insider threat protocols. However, despite the existence of a directive permitting them to do so, government agencies do not monitor their employees’ social media. Our interviews found this is due to a lack of clear guidance on how to implement the existing directives and security policies. This shortcoming can be remedied by government agencies agreeing upon a single common standard regarding the use of publicly available electronic information, specifically social media, for personnel security and insider threat purposes. The DNI, as Security Executive Agent for the government, must then develop guidelines for the implementation of this standard throughout the sector.
