Description:

On March 1, 2011, the President of the Treasury Board, today tabled in the House of Commons the 2011-2012 Main Estimates. In total, net expenditures for 2010-2011 are estimated at $250.8 billion.

Main Estimates, along with the Budget, reflect the Government's annual budget planning and resource-allocation priorities for the 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 2011-2012 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.

Supplementary Estimates are issued as changes/addendums to the Main Estimates and serve two purposes.

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 3, 2011, the Supplementary Estimates (B 2011-2012 support the request for Parliament's approval of $4.3 billion in expenditures in 68 organizations, including expenditures that were already planned for in Budget 2011, but for which the necessary approval had not been obtained in time to be included in the 2011–12 Main Estimates.

Statement on the Use of Governor General Special Warrants for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2012

Description:

This document summarizes the issue of Governor General Special Warrants during the period April 1, 2011 to June 29, 2011.

With the dissolution of Parliament on March 26, 2011, for the purposes of a general election, the appropriation bills related to the 2010–11 Supplementary Estimates (C) and the 2011–12 Main Estimates were not voted on by Parliament and did not receive Royal Assent. This means that the Government will not be able to fund its work through the regular supply process.

However, funds must be available to ensure that the normal operations of Government continue until a new Parliament is formed. For example, when Parliament is dissolved, services to Canadians, such as food safety programs benefits and payments related to income support benefits, must continue to be provided.

The established procedure for obtaining funds while Parliament is dissolved is through Governor General's special warrants.

Funds provided through a special warrant are for Government business that has received the appropriate approvals from Cabinet and Treasury Board. Statutory payments for expenditures approved through enabling legislation, for example Old Age Security payments, do not require a special warrant to proceed.
