Produced by Treasury Board Secretariat. Published by Canadian Government Publishing, 2008. Description: |
| The President of the Treasury Board tabled the spending estimates
for the Government of Canada’s 2008-2009 fiscal year on February 28, 2008.
The Estimates provide information on $220.6 billion in budgetary
expenditures, including $79 billion in voted spending, such as departmental
operating and capital expenditures, and $107.9 billion in statutory spending
previously approved by Parliament. The Estimates also provide
information on interest payments on the public debt totalling $33.7
billion. 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 2008-2009 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). The RPPs for the 2007-2008 fiscal year were tabled in the House of Commons on March 29, 2007. 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. |

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 on May 13, 2008, the Supplementary Estimates (A) 2008-2009 build on continuing efforts to improve information provided to Parliament, with a particular focus on more transparent reporting of financial details and additional tools to facilitate better financial management within departments. These Supplementary Estimates provide information to Parliament and seek its authority to spend $4.1 billion in expenditures, including $3.6 billion in voted appropriations, that were not sufficiently developed or known at the time of the 2008-09 Main Estimates. The combined total of approved Main Estimates ($221.5 billion) and Supplementary Estimates (A) is within the planned spending of $239.6 billion announced in the 2008 Budget.

Tabled on October 30, 2007, the Supplementary Estimates (A) 2007-2008 provide information to Parliament in support of $13.6 billion in supplementary expenditures, including approximately $8 billion in voted appropriations that were not sufficiently developed or known at the time of the 2007-2008 Main Estimates. This figure includes $875.2 million for implementing the Canada First Defence Plan, $573.8 million for Canada’s Strategic Infrastructure Fund, and $5.9 billion in statutory transfers to the provinces. The Supplementary Estimates (A) 2007-2008 is fully consistent with the Government’s overall planned spending level of $233 billion for 2007-2008 as set out in Budget 2007. They also reflect the Government’s commitment to control government spending and effectively manage taxpayers’ dollars. Produced by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat.

Specifically, in May 2007, Treasury Board approved the creation of two new central Votes: a departmental Operating Budget Carry Forward Vote; and a Paylist Requirements Vote. These Votes were approved by Parliament through Supplementary Estimates (A), 2007-2008 and the enabling Appropriation Act No. 3, 2007-2008. These Supplementary Estimates provides an overview of the major items in total budgetary spending in excess of $25 million (Voted and Statutory) comprising an increase of $4.3 billion. The Supplementary Estimates (B) 2007-2008 is consistent with the planned expenses framework established in the March 2007 Budget and updated in the November 2007 Economic and Fiscal Update.
