Status Report on Projects Operating with Specific Treasury Board Approval

  1. Employee Benefit Plans (EBP) are not included in project costs while contingency costs are included.
  2. Projects listed have been identified as either:
    1. those in which the estimated expenditure exceeds the delegated approval authority granted to the Department of National Defence (DND) by the Treasury Board (TB) ($30 million with substantive cost estimates), or;
    2. those in which the risk is particularly high, regardless of the estimated amounts.
  3. Main estimates column: As far as equipment projects go, main estimates amounts cannot be linked to a specific project unless a TB Submission was done to bring in new funding for the reporting year (mostly relates to accrual projects). Otherwise, they are determined on a vote basis and not by project.
  4. Total authorities: For C503 projects the amounts are not determined on a Fiscal Year (FY) basis; projects are given approval for total life of the project.
  5. Original Estimated Total Cost is defined as the costs comprised of four components of Vote 5 funding:
  • Procurement costs of the acquisition (equipment platform/system/fleet and associated infrastructure);
  • Integrated Logistics Support (nominally two year spares Initial Provisioning, training development, technical data packages, simulators, etc - will vary from project to project);
  • Project Management Office costs to include project staff SWE/military pay, Travel, Training, Office Space, contracted support, etc; and
  • GST.
