On this page
Fiscal year financial highlights
In 2018 to 2019, significant progress was made on advancing the Long Term Vision and Plan (LTVP) and planning for future projects. The LTVP’s total expenditures were $451.7 million, as seen in in table 1.
| Planned expenditures | 464.8 |
|---|---|
| Actual expenditures | 451.7 |
| Percentage spent | 97.2 |
Expenditures for each of the 5 program components are shown in table 2. This breakdown of program expenditures is slightly different from fiscal year 2017 to 2018, due to evolving priorities. The program continues to be within 3% of planning and forecasting expectations.

Major Capital Program
The Major Capital Program (MCP) focuses on the rehabilitation of major buildings in the Parliamentary Precinct, including the Centre Block, the East Block, the West Block, and the Senate of Canada Building. In addition, this program also manages new construction projects, such as the Visitor Welcome Centre Complex.
Financial performance
In fiscal year 2018 to 2019:
- MCP expenditures were $339.7 million, a slight increase over expenditures in the previous fiscal year
- this increase is a result of construction work completed this past fiscal year, and the commencement of the Centre Block Rehabilitation Project, including the Enabling Projects (Table 4)
- All MCP projects were on time, on scope, and on budget
- Looking ahead, total annual expenditures within the MCP are expected to decrease over the next fiscal year as major projects are completed ahead of the implementation of the next rolling program of work
- Following the next fiscal year, total annual expenditures within MCP are expected to increase as the construction activity on the Centre Block rehabilitation increases

Recapitalization Program
The Recapitalization Program (RECAP) addresses projects in buildings that are occupied and operational but have not yet been fully rehabilitated. The projects are designed to preserve buildings, stop or reduce ongoing deterioration, respond to urgent building repair requirements, address health and safety issues, and reduce cost and complexity of future work. RECAP is also responsible for the restoration and rehabilitation of the heritage Parliament Hill grounds.
In most cases, recapitalization projects are identified ahead of time and integrated into the LTVP’s sequencing of work, to serve as permanent necessary interventions that will ensure the ongoing viability of the buildings, and will advance the implementation of longer term projects.
Financial performance
In fiscal year 2018 to 2019:
- RECAP expenditures were $14.8 million, a large decrease over expenditures from the previous fiscal year, due to various RECAP projects that had been completed in the previous fiscal year, as shown in Table 5
- All RECAP projects were on time, on scope, and on budget
- Looking ahead, $12.5 million is projected to be spent in the next fiscal year, on projects such as the East Block 1867 Wing project

Building Components and Connectivity Program
The Building Components and Connectivity Program (BCC) entails the modernization of the precinct’s campus-wide communication and information technology (IT) infrastructure for more than 30 buildings within the precinct, to meet the Parliamentarian’s modern business needs. BCC IT projects are coordinated and integrated with LTVP projects as they roll out to ensure efficient and cost-effective delivery of building connectivity elements.
Financial performance
In fiscal year 2018 to 2019:
- BCC expenditures were $31.2 million, a large increase over expenditures from the previous fiscal year, due to the Campus Connectivity Upgrades Project, IT Infrastructure and Base Building Upgrade, and Datacentre Risk Mitigation projects, as shown in Table 6
- All BCC projects were on time, on scope, and on budget
- Looking ahead $15 million is projected to be spent in the next fiscal year, which will include ongoing projects such as the IT infrastructure base building upgrades and the modernization of the Parliament Community Access Television (CATV)

Planning Program
The Planning Program focuses on the development of master plans and cost estimates to guide project planning and preparatory work for future projects. It provides overall coordination between active projects to ensure they dovetail and contribute to the broader objectives of the LTVP vision and guiding principles.
Through studies, design guidelines, and strategic advice, the planning team supports the planning of new projects and coordinates active projects to ensure they support and contribute to the broader objectives of the LTVP. Once projects have been identified and the preplanning work is complete, projects are transferred to the MCP and RECAP programs for delivery.
Financial performance
In fiscal year 2018 to 2019:
- Planning Program expenditures were $13.2 million, a slight increase over expenditures from the previous fiscal year, largely due to Program Support costs (such as labour and consultants fees), as shown in Table 7
- Looking ahead $19.5 million is projected to be spent in the next fiscal year
- this increase is reflected in Program Support costs, Campus planning, and Block 2 pre-planning
