As part of the present Departmental Results Report, Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is informing parliamentarians and Canadians of the budgetary performance achieved for 2021 to 2022. This performance is measured against the planned spending defined in PSPC’s 2021 to 2022 Departmental Plan.
The budgetary performance summary table above provides the following:
- Main Estimates and planned spending for 2021 to 2022 as reported in the 2021 to 2022 Departmental Plan
- planned spending for 2022 to 2023 and 2023 to 2024, as reported in the 2022 to 2023 Departmental Plan
- total authorities available for use in 2021 to 2022 which reflects the Main Estimates as well as the other authorities available for the year, including the supplementary estimates
- actual spending for 2019 to 2020, 2020 to 2021 and 2021 to 2022 as reported in the Public Accounts of Canada
The variances observed are explained as follows:
- the net decrease of $318.9 million between the 2021 to 2022 actual spending and the 2021 to 2022 planned spending is mainly due to:
- delays in several capital and fit-up projects as well as increased revenues for accommodation
- partially offset by expenditures to support:
- the Government of Canada’s evolving response to the COVID-19 pandemic
- the continued modernization of federal procurement to support a more robust, inclusive and sustainable economy
- the stabilization of pay operations and reduce the backlog of pay issues
- the net increase of $343.7 million in the actual spending from 2019 to 2020 to 2021 to 2022, is primarily related to:
- expenditures to deliver on the department’s property and infrastructure projects
- expenditures to provide supplies for the health system, support the Government of Canada’s evolving response to the COVID-19 pandemic and provide the necessary funding for the Safe Restart Agreement
- enhanced measures to help stabilize the Phoenix pay system, increase pay service delivery capacity and reduce the backlog of pay issues

Expenses
Actual over planned
The 2021 to 2022 expenses were $178 million higher than planned mainly due to expenditures to support the Government of Canada’s evolving response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the continued modernization of federal procurement to support a more robust, inclusive and sustainable economy. This was partially offset by a reduction in property and infrastructure’s expenses as a result of fluctuations in business volume mostly attributable to projects being delayed, terminated or cancelled due to uncertainty related to COVID-19.
Actual year-over-year
The increase in expenses of $268 million is mainly attributable to the purchase of COVID-19 supplies and related logistics as well as additional demand for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
Revenues
Actual over planned
The 2021 to 2022 revenues were $299 million higher than planned mainly due to an increase in revenues from services provided to other government departments for the purchase of COVID-19 supplies and related logistics as well as increased revenues for accommodations. This is partially offset by a reduction in revenues as a result of fluctuations in business volume mostly attributable to other government departments projects being delayed, terminated or cancelled due to uncertainty related to COVID-19.
Actual year-over-year
The increase in revenues of $505 million is mainly attributable to an increase in business volume with other government departments for the purchase of COVID-19 supplies and related logistics as well as an increase in the vaccine procurement business line as a result of additional demand for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
| Financial information | 2021 to 2022 | 2020 to 2021 | Difference (2021 to 2022 minus 2020 to 2021) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total net liabilities | 3,917,261,174 | 3,625,677,646 | 291,583,528 |
| Total net financial assets | 1,228,705,345 | 1,160,106,572 | 68,598,773 |
| Departmental net debt | 2,688,555,829 | 2,465,571,074 | 222,984,755 |
| Total non‑financial assets | 9,873,369,831 | 9,072,995,932 | 800,373,899 |
| Departmental net financial position | 7,184,814,002 | 6,607,424,858 | 577,389,144 |
Net liabilities
The increase in total net liabilities of $292 million is mainly attributable to an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to an accrued liability related to the Energy Services Acquisition Program for the modernization of the district energy system in the National Capital Region.
Net financial assets
The increase in total net financial assets of $69 million is mainly attributable to an increase in accounts receivable and advances mostly due to higher accounts receivable with other government departments as a result of the purchase of COVID-19 supplies and related logistics.
The increase was partially offset by a decrease in due from the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), which is mostly the result of the aforementioned increase in accounts receivable from other government departments and an increase in accounts payable. The amount due from the Consolidated Revenue Fund represents the net amount of cash that the department is able to withdraw from the CRF in order to discharge its liabilities without generating any additional charges against its authorities in the year of the withdrawal.
Non-financial assets
The increase in total non-financial assets of $800 million (assets with a physical substance that are used to deliver services and have a useful life extending beyond one accounting period, such as real property, equipment or machinery that have been purchased, built or leased) is mainly attributable to an increase in tangible capital assets for the rehabilitation of the parliamentary precinct through the long term vision and plan and the modernization of the district energy system in the National Capital Region through the Energy Services Acquisition Program.
This increase is offset by the amortization of tangible capital assets (physical assets held on a continuing basis).
