Description:

On March 3, 2010, the President of the Treasury Board, today tabled in the House of Commons the 2010-2011 Main Estimates. In total, net expenditures for 2010-2011 are estimated at $259.0 billion.

Main Estimates provide a detailed listing of the resources required by individual departments and agencies for the upcoming fiscal year.

Part I (The Government Expenditure Plan) provides an overview of federal spending and summarizes the key elements of the Main Estimates. Part II (The Main Estimates) directly support the Appropriation Act. Known traditionally known as the "Blue Book," the Main Estimates identify the spending authorities (votes) and amounts to be included in subsequent appropriation bills. Parliament will be asked to approve these votes to enable the Government to proceed with its spending plans.

While the 2010-2011 Estimates represent the major part of the government's spending plans, any subsequent announcements or decisions will be dealt with later in the year and will be tabled in Supplementary Estimates.

The final stage in the presentation of the Main Estimates to Parliament is the Reports on Plans and Priorities (Part III Estimates) (RPPs). These are individual expenditure plans for each department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). These reports provide increased levels of detail over a three-year period on an organization's main priorities by strategic outcomes, program activities and expected results, including links to related resource requirements.

Note: Prior to the 2005-2006 fiscal year, this publication had been published in a bilingual edition. Subsequent editions of the The Government Expenditure Plan and the Main Estimates are published in unilingual English and French editions.

expenditures which, for Budget and accounting purposes, have been charged to prior years to coincide with the timing of when the obligations were incurred;
accrual accounting adjustments, as well as the recognition of 2009-2010 liabilities, for items that, while being recognized, do not require appropriations (i.e., cash) this year; and,

Description:

Supplementary Estimates are issued as changes/addendums to the Main Estimates and serve two purposes. First, they seek authority for revised spending levels that Parliament will be asked to approve in an Appropriation Act. Second, they provide Parliament with information on changes in the estimated expenditures to be made under the authority of statutes previously passed by Parliament.

Tabled in the House of Commons on November 4, 2009, the Supplementary Estimates (B) 2009-2010 seek parliamentary authority to spend $4.9 billion in voted budgetary expenditures of which $637.9 million is in direct support of the implementation of the Economic Action Plan. The remaining value of items to be approved this fiscal year, by Parliament, for Economic Action Plan initiatives is approximately $500 million. These items will be funded through subsequent Estimates.

The Supplementary Estimates (B) also provide information related to $26.0 billion in statutory expenditures that have been authorized by Parliament through enabling legislation. This amount includes $12.4 billion non-budgetary increase for Payments to Export Development Canada as indicated in Section 23 of the Export Development Act (Canada Account) to facilitate and develop trade between Canada and other countries, and a $12.0 billion non-budgetary increase for advances to the Business Development Bank of Canada with regards to the Canadian Secured Credit Facility.
