Introduction
Governments collect funds through taxes and other levies in order to provide services to their citizens. In Canada, the federal government’s primary sources of revenue are income and sales taxes.
Payments that go directly to individuals, to provincial and territorial governments, and to other organizations are called “transfers”. Transfers are the largest category of spending for the federal government. The largest transfers include elderly benefits, Employment Insurance and transfers to provinces and territories to help fund health care and other services.
Federal departments, agencies and Crown corporations also provide programs and services for Canadians. In order for federal government organizations to operate, Parliament must give these organizations authority to spend. While spending is often announced in a Federal Budget, spending authority is actually granted through legislation passed by Parliament.
Approximately one-third of federal government spending is approved by Parliament on an annual basis. These expenditures are authorized through an appropriation act and are called “voted” expenditures. Expenditures authorized through other legislation are called “statutory”.
Due to the need to table Main Estimates on or by March 1, emerging priorities and items announced in Budget 2017 will be included in future Estimates documents. Estimates publications explain how federal organizations plan to spend funds. The Main Estimates and Supplementary Estimates provide information on spending authority that Parliament will be asked to approve during the fiscal year. Individual departments and agencies also produce Departmental Plans and Departmental Results reports. The Departmental Plans are typically tabled soon after the Main Estimates and show an organization’s priorities and planned results for the next three years. Departmental Results, tabled in the fall, are accounts of results achieved during the most recent fiscal year.
Estimates documents are prepared on a near cash basis of accounting, which recognizes payments when goods or services are received. This allows Parliament to control the amounts spent during a fiscal year through the appropriation acts it passes. Forecasts in the Federal Budget and the Fiscal Update are prepared on a full accrual basis, which recognizes that the economic benefit of expenditures may last for more than a fiscal year.
The Public Accounts of Canada include financial statements for the Government of Canada as well as details of expenses and revenues for completed fiscal years. Information in Volume I corresponds to the Federal Budget. Volume II provides information on the same near cash basis as the Estimates.
This Document
Part I of this document, the Government Expenditure Plan, gives an overview of spending requirements for 2017–18 and comparisons to previous fiscal years.
Part II of this document, the Main Estimates, provides information on estimated spending by each federal organization requesting authority to spend through a 2017-18 appropriation bill.
Summary of Estimates
Voted Expenditures
These Estimates support the government’s request to Parliament for authority to expend through annual appropriations:
- $102.1 billion for budgetary expenditures – operating and capital expenditures; transfer payments to other levels of government, organizations or individuals; and payments to Crown corporations; and
- $26.7 million for non-budgetary expenditures – net outlays and receipts related to loans, investments and advances, which change the composition of the financial assets of the Government of Canada.
These voted expenditures require annual approval from Parliament which is sought through an appropriation bill. The bill provides the specific wording that governs the purpose and conditions under which expenditures can be made and the funds subject to these terms and conditions.
Statutory Expenditures
Forecasts of statutory expenditures represent payments to be made under legislation previously approved by Parliament. Forecasts of statutory spending by departments are included in these Estimates to provide a more complete picture of their total estimated expenditures. Of these forecasts, $155.8 billion is for budgetary expenditures including the cost of servicing the public debt. The $155.8 billion does not include payments from the Employment Insurance Operating Account or expenditures legislated through the Income Tax Act (such as the Canada Child Benefit).
Significant changes in statutory spending include:
- increases in major transfer payments, most notably elderly benefits and the Canada Health Transfer;
- the replacement of the Universal Child Care Benefit and the Canada Child Tax Benefit by the Canada Child Benefit in ;
- a decrease in interest on unmatured debt and other interest costs; and
- a decrease in employee benefits plan costs as the employer share of pension contributions decreases and a lower Employment Insurance Premium Rate comes into effect for 2017.
Forecast recoveries for statutory loans, investments and advances are expected to exceed cash outlays by $246.2 million.

Composition of Estimates
The majority of expenditures in 2017–18 Main Estimates are transfer payments – payments made to other levels of government, individuals and other organizations. Transfer payments make up approximately 63.7% of expenditures or $164.3 billion. Operating and capital expenditures account for approximately 28.0% of expenditures or $72.1 billion, while public debt charges are approximately 8.3% of expenditures or $21.5 billion.
Public Debt Charges
Total interest costs are approximately $21.5 billion, a projected decrease of $1.3 billion or 5.7% from previous Main Estimates and $1.2billion less than actual expenditures for 2015–16. The decrease largely reflects a decline in interest rates forecasted by private sector economists, consistent with the 2016 Fall Economic Statement, as well as a decrease in the average Government of Canada long-term bond rate that is used to calculate interest on the public sector pension obligations pertaining to service prior to . Public debt charges are comprised of interest on unmatured debt of $14.9 billion and other interest costs of $6.6 billion. Interest on unmatured debt represents the interest resulting from certificates of indebtedness issued by the Government of Canada that have not yet become due. Other interest costs include interest on liabilities for federal public service pension plans, deposit and trust accounts and other specified purpose accounts.

Major transfer payments
Major transfer payments – significant transfers to other levels of government and transfers to persons – account for a large proportion of the government’s total expenditure framework.
Forecast expenditures for major transfer payments are included in the total budgetary Main Estimates of the responsible organization, with two exceptions. One is Employment Insurance, which is reported through the Employment Insurance Operating Account and is separate from any of the appropriated organizations listed in these Main Estimates. The other exception is Children’s Benefits, details of which are included in the Department of Finance’s Tax Expenditures and Evaluations report.
As presented in the table, major statutory transfers to other levels of government are projected to total $70.0 billion in 2017–18, an increase of $2.0 billion over the previous year’s Main Estimates.
The Canada Health Transfer (CHT) is a federal transfer provided to provinces and territories in support of health care. As of 2014–15, the CHT is distributed on an equal per capita cash basis. Starting in 2017–18, growth of the CHT is based on a 3-year moving average of nominal gross domestic product, with funding guaranteed to increase by at least 3% per year. CHT support is subject to the five conditions of The Canada Health Act: universality; comprehensiveness; portability; accessibility; and public administration, and the prohibitions against extra-billing and user fees. In 2017–18, the CHT will increase by nearly $1.1 billion from the 2016–17 amount to a total of $37.1 billion.
Fiscal Equalization refers to unconditional transfer payments to enable less prosperous provincial governments to provide their residents with public services that are reasonably comparable to those in other provinces, at reasonably comparable levels of taxation. These payments will be $18.3 billion in 2017–18, an increase of $373.2 million from the Main Estimates 2016–17, and $912.3 million more than 2015–16 actual expenditures. The growth path of Equalization is based on a three-year moving average of gross domestic product (GDP) growth. The increase of $373.2 million in 2017–18 represents the legislated annual program growth calculated by multiplying the 2016–17 level of $17.9 billion by the 2.09 per cent escalator derived using the relevant GDP data.
The Canada Social Transfer is a federal transfer to provinces and territories in support of social assistance and social services, post-secondary education and programs for children. The legislated 3% growth rate results in an increase of $400.4 million to $13.7 billion in 2017–18.
The Territorial Formula Financing Program provides unconditional federal transfers that allow territorial governments to provide their residents with public services comparable to those offered by provincial governments, at comparable levels of taxation. The transfers are based on a formula that fills the gap between a proxy of territorial expenditure requirements and a territory’s revenue-raising capacity. These payments will be $3.7 billion in 2017–18, $145.5 million more than the 2016–17 Main Estimates and $78.9 million more than the updated amount for 2016–17 shown in Supplementary Estimates (B).
The Gas Tax Fund provides predictable, long-term, stable funding for Canadian municipalities to help them build and revitalize their local public infrastructure while creating jobs and long term prosperity. Beginning in 2014–15, the Gas Tax Fund became a statutory payment. Prior to the 2014–15 fiscal year, payments were approved through Appropriation Acts (Voted).
The Additional Fiscal Equalization Offset Payment to Nova Scotia is a payment related to its 2005 Offshore Accord. This Accord guaranteed the province that its Equalization payments would not be reduced due to offshore oil and gas revenues that entered the Equalization formula. This is derived by applying the Equalization formula with and without offshore oil and gas revenues and comparing the resulting Equalization payments. The province will receive $20.0 million for 2017–18, a decrease of $13.3 million compared with the amount for 2016–17.
Additional Fiscal Equalization Payments to Nova Scotia are payments related to its 2005 Offshore Accord. Following the introduction of a new formula for Equalization in 2007, Nova Scotia was guaranteed that, on a cumulative basis beginning in 2008–09 over the lifetime of the Accord, the new formula would not reduce its Equalization payments and 2005 Offshore Accord payments when compared with what the province would have received under the formula that was in place when it signed its 2005 Offshore Accord. For 2017–18, the forecast recovery of $27.9 million is $43.9 million lower than the forecast in the 2016–17 Main Estimates and $38.5 million lower than the official determination of $10.6 million in the 2016–17 Supplementary Estimates (C) due to updated data entering the formula.
The Youth Allowance Recovery relates to tax points transferred to the province of Quebec for the Youth Allowance program, which has since expired. The equivalent value of the tax point reduction is recovered each year from the province of Quebec. The change in recoveries for the Youth Allowances Recovery Program is entirely due to year-over-year changes to the value of federal personal income taxes, the recovery being a percentage of these taxes. For 2017–18, the forecast recovery of $888.7 million is $2.0 million lower than the forecast in the 2016–17 Main Estimates and $49.6 million higher than that in the 2016–17 Supplementary Estimates (C) due to higher forecast levels of federal personal income taxes.
Alternative Payments for Standing Programs represent recoveries from Quebec of an additional tax point transfer above and beyond the tax point transfer computed under the Youth Allowances Recovery. The change in recoveries for the Alternative Payments for Standing Programs is entirely due to year-over-year changes to the value of federal personal income taxes, the recovery being a percentage of these taxes. For 2017–18, the forecast recovery of $4.0 billion is $20.5 million lower than the forecast in the 2016–17 Main Estimates and $212.2 million higher than that in 2016–17 Supplementary Estimates (C) due to higher forecast levels of federal personal income taxes.
Transfers to Persons
Elderly benefits include Old Age Security, Guaranteed Income Supplement, and Allowance payments. Elderly benefit payments are expected to be $51.2 billion in 2017–18, an increase of $2.8 billion over the 2016–17 Main Estimates and $5.7 billion more than actual expenditures in 2015–16.
The Canada Child Benefit took effect on , replacing the previous federal system of child benefits that included the Universal Child Care Benefit and the Canada Child Tax Benefit, (which included the National Child Benefit supplement, a benefit targeted to low- and modest-income families).
The Canada Child Benefit is a tax-free, income-tested benefit that provides a maximum annual benefit of $6,400 per child under the age of 6 and $5,400 per child aged 6 through 17. With the introduction of the Canada Child Benefit, the government also continues to provide an additional annual benefit of up to $2,730 per child under the age of 18 who is eligible for the disability tax credit (the Child Disability Benefit).
Under the Canada Child Benefit, low- and middle-income families receive more benefits, while those with the highest incomes (generally over $150,000) receive lower benefits than under the previous federal system of child benefits. Canada Child Benefit payments are forecasted to total $17.2 billion in 2016–17 (for the to period) and $22.9 billion in 2017–18. These amounts include the Child Disability Benefit amounts.
Payments for the Universal Child Care Benefit and “Other Children’s Benefits” (which includes the Canada Child Tax Benefit, the National Child Benefit supplement and the Child Disability Benefit) are forecast to total, in 2016–17, $2.0 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively. These measures were replaced partway through fiscal year 2016–17 (i.e. as of ). For 2017–18, the Universal Child Care Benefit and the Canada Child Tax Benefit will be fully replaced by the Canada Child Benefit.
Employment Insurance provides temporary financial assistance to unemployed Canadians who have lost their job through no fault of their own, while they look for work or upgrade their skills. Employment Insurance is reported through the Employment Insurance Operating Account and is separate from any of the appropriated organizations listed in these Main Estimates.

Structure of these Estimates
Votes
The basic structural units of the Estimates are the Votes. The following kinds of Votes appear in the Estimates:
A program expenditures vote is used when there is no requirement for either a separate “capital expenditures” vote or a “grants and contributions” vote because neither equals or exceeds $5 million. In this case, all expenditures are charged to the one vote.
An operating expenditures vote is used when there is also a requirement for either a “capital expenditures” vote or a “grants and contributions” vote or both; that is, when expenditures of either type equal or exceed $5 million.
A capital expenditures vote is used when the aggregate of capital expenditures equal or exceed $5 million. Capital expenditures are those made for the acquisition or development of items that are classified as tangible capital assets as defined by Government accounting policies. For example, the acquisition of real property, infrastructure, machinery or equipment, or for purposes of constructing or developing assets, where an organization expects to draw upon its own labour and materials, or employs professional services or other services or goods. Expenditure items in a Capital Expenditures Vote are for items that generally exceed $10,000; although an organization may select a reduced threshold to be applied to different capital classes.
A grants and contributions vote is used when grants and/or contributions expenditures equal or exceed $5 million. It should be noted that the inclusion of a grant, contribution or other transfer payment item in the Estimates imposes no requirement to make a payment, nor does it give a prospective recipient any right to the funds. It should also be noted that in the vote wording, the meaning of the word “contributions” is considered to include “other transfer payments” because of the similar characteristics of each.
A non-budgetary vote, identified by the letter “L”, provides authority for spending in the form of loans or advances to, and investments in, Crown corporations; and loans or advances for specific purposes to other governments, international organizations or persons or corporations in the private sector.
Where it is necessary to appropriate funds for a payment to a Crown corporation or for the expenditures of a legal entity that is part of a larger program, a separate vote is established. Where this is the case, a separate vote structure is established for each. A legal entity for these purposes is defined as a unit of government operating under an Act of Parliament and responsible directly to a Minister.
To support the Treasury Board in performing its statutory responsibilities for managing the government’s financial, human and materiel resources, a number of special authorities are required. These authorities are described in the vote wording found in the Proposed Schedules to the Appropriation Bill.
Information Presented in the 2017–18 Main Estimates
Part II – Main Estimates
Departments and agencies are presented alphabetically according to the legal name of the department or agency. For some organizations, the legal name differs from the name in common usage. In such cases, their commonly-used name is noted in their raison d’être.
Forecast statutory expenditures are summarized in this document. Details are available in the 2017–18 Statutory Forecasts online table.
Abbreviated vote wordings are used in organization summaries. Complete vote wording is shown in the Proposed Schedules to the Appropriation Bill following Part II.
Information on 2015–16 actual expenditures and 2016–17 Estimates to Date are included to provide context for the 2017–18 amounts. The 2015–16 actual expenditures are taken from the 2015–16 Public Accounts of Canada. 2016–17 Estimates to Date is the sum of the amounts presented in the 2016–17 Main Estimates and increases sought through the 2016–17 Supplementary Estimates A, B and C. Estimates to date excludes any funding deemed to have been appropriated to a department following the transfer of a portion of the federal administration. Allocations from Treasury Board Central Votes are made throughout the year and the expenditure authority provided by these allocations is also not included in Estimates to Date.
The 2017–18 Program Alignment Architecture or Departmental Results Framework is used for the tables presenting information by program or purpose. If there has been a change in the reporting structure, amounts for previous years have not been reclassified to the new structure and are reported as “Funds not allocated to the 2017–18 Program Alignment Architecture”.
If applicable, a table provides a listing of transfer payments planned for the 2017–18 fiscal year, with comparative amounts from previous fiscal years for programs with funding in 2017–18. A transfer payment is a grant, contribution or other payment made for the purpose of furthering program objectives but for which no goods or services are received. Details on transfer payments made in a previous year can be found in Volumes 2 and 3 of the Public Accounts of Canada.
Supplementary Information
Supplementary online tables for the 2017–18 Main Estimates show forecast expenditures by:
- Standard Object: the table shows the types of goods or services to be acquired, or the transfer payments to be made and the revenues to be credited to the vote; and
- Program or purpose: the table shows planned expenditures by program or purpose categorized by nature of expenditure.
In-year information on expenditure authorities is available in the departmental Quarterly Financial Reports, and final expenditure authority and actual expenditures for a fiscal year are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) InfoBase also provides financial and people management data for all organizations that receive government appropriations.
Changes to these Estimates
The purpose of this section is to provide the reconciliation of these Estimates with the previous year’s Estimates in the following areas:
- Changes to government organization and structure;
- Changes in authorities (Votes); and
- Changes in organizational names used in Estimates.
Changes to Government Organization and Structure
Following the tabling of the 2016–17 Main Estimates on , the following changes were made:

Highlights
ACOA is estimating budgetary expenditures of $311.5 million for 2017–18. Of this amount, $303.5 million requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $8.0 million represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for information purposes only.
ACOA’s approved authorities for 2017–18 of $311.5 million represent an increase of $3.3 million when compared to the 2016–17 Main Estimates of $308.2 million.
This increase in spending of $3.3 million is due to an increase in transfer payments of $5.0 million, a decrease in operating costs of $0.9 million and a decrease in statutory costs of $0.8 million. Factors contributing to the net increase include:
Impact of temporary initiatives:
- A $8.3 million increase in funding to support the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program;
- A $2.4 million increase in funding to support the spruce budworm outbreak intervention initiative – ACOA component;
- A $0.7 million decrease related to a reduction in the amount transferred from the department of National Defence in support of a project; and
- A $0.5 million decrease for the conclusion of operational funding for the administration of the Building Canada Fund.
Impact of other adjustments:
- A $5.0 million decrease related to changes in collections from repayable contributions;
- A $0.8 million decrease in statutory costs; and
- A $0.4 million decrease for Budget 2016 reduction on professional services, travel and advertising.
In 2017-18, the Agency will invest in the innovation and growth of small and medium-sized enterprises in Atlantic Canada, accelerate clean growth, and maximize international business opportunities. ACOA will continue to develop and diversify communities, and strengthen community planning and capacity-building to stimulate transformative change. The Agency will provide evidence-based policy-making, implement the Atlantic Growth Strategy in collaboration with the four Atlantic provincial governments and other federal departments and stakeholders and support long-term growth in Atlantic Canada by facilitating a whole-of-government approach.

Highlights
AECL delivers its mandate through a Government-owned, Contractor-operated model. Under this model, AECL’s sites, facilities and assets are managed and operated by Canadian Nuclear Laboratories.
Starting in 2016–17, AECL received all funding necessary to deliver on its mandate through the Main Estimates. This differs from previous years, when AECL received funding from a variety of sources, including Main and Supplementary Estimates, transfers from Natural Resources Canada and, occasionally Treasury Board Central Votes. This explains, in part, the variance between the amounts noted under 2015–16 Expenditures and 2017–18 Main Estimates presented in this document.
Funding for 2017–18 has been grouped into a single program area: Facilities and Nuclear Operations, which includes all funding to enable AECL to deliver on its mandate. As noted in its Corporate Plan Summary, AECL focusses its activities in two main areas:
Decommissioning and Waste Management $520.1 million
The objective is to safely and efficiently reduce the Government of Canada’s radioactive waste liabilities, including associated risks to health, safety, security and the environment. The focus is on enabling Canadian Nuclear Laboratories to significantly advance infrastructure decommissioning, site remediation and waste management for Canada. Funding for these activities was previously provided through Natural Resources Canada’s Nuclear Legacy Liabilities Program, the Port Hope Area Initiative and the Low-level Radioactive Waste Management Office, and as such, would not have been reflected in Parliamentary Appropriations to AECL prior to 2016–17.
Starting in 2016–17, all funding for these activities is being provided directly to AECL through the Main Estimates, with increased funding to accelerate work that will reduce risks and discharge Canada’s radioactive waste liabilities faster.
Nuclear Laboratories $450.9 million
The objective is to enable the effective implementation of the Government-owned, Contractor operated model and thereby enable Canadian Nuclear Laboratories to manage and operate AECL’s sites efficiently and effectively to provide expertise, products and services, and science and technology capabilities in support of: (i) Canada’s federal roles, responsibilities and priorities; (ii) commercial services for third parties; and, (iii) capital projects and other corporate activities at the nuclear laboratories. Work in this activity includes renewal and modernization of the Chalk River site to enhance Canadian Nuclear Laboratories’ ability to provide safe and world-class science and technology and other services for Canada.
More information on AECL’s activities can be found in its Corporate Plan Summary.

Highlights
The Canada Border Services Agency is estimating budgetary expenditures of $1,761.7 million in 2017–18. Of this amount, $1,591.0 million requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $170.7 million represents statutory forecasts related to Employee Benefit Plans (EBP) that do not require additional approval and are provided for information purposes.
The CBSA’s increase in net spending of $88.7 million or 5.3% is due to an increase in Operating expenditures of $31.2 million, an increase in Capital expenditures of $71.5 million and a decrease of $14 million in Statutory expenditures (EBP).
Major items contributing to the year-over-year net change of $88.7 million in funding levels include:
Increases totaling $115.8 million in the 2017–18 Main Estimates are mainly due to:
- $44.1 million in funding to maintain and upgrade federal infrastructure assets (Budget 2016- horizontal item);
- $36.7 million in funding for Strengthening the National Immigration Detention Framework;
- $29.1 million in funding for Delivering on Canada’s Commitment to Remove the Visa Requirement for Citizens of Mexico;
- $3.2 million in funding to provide integrated border services at the new Canadian Port of Entry at the Gordie Howe International Bridge;
- $1.8 million in funding for Integrity of Canada’s Border Operations; and
- $0.9 million due to a net increase of funding for various projects.
The increases in the 2017–18 Main Estimates are offset by the following decreases totaling $27.1 million and are mainly due to:
- $14.0 million in annual adjustment in the employee benefit plan rate set by Treasury Board Secretariat;
- $9.2 million reduction of funding received to complete phase 2 of the CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) project; and
- $3.9 million for the Budget 2016 reduction in Professional Services, Advertising and Travel.

Highlights
CATSA’s 2017–18 Main Estimates of $584.6 million, which require approval from Parliament, are $39.4 million or approximately 6% lower than its 2016–17 Main Estimates of $624.0 millionFootnote 1. The Main Estimates consist of $471.4 million for operating expenditures and $113.2 million for capital expenditures.
CATSA’s 2017–18 Main Estimates for operating expenditures of $471.4 million are equivalent to its 2016–17 Main Estimates and represent CATSA’s A-Base funding.
CATSA’s 2017–18 Main Estimates for capital expenditures of $113.2 million are $39.4 million or approximately 26% lower than its 2016–17 Main Estimates of $152.6 million. The year-over-year variance in CATSA’s capital budget envelope reflects lower cash flow requirements for 2017–18 to support the deployment of its new Hold Baggage Screening system as part of a 10-year capital life-cycle management plan. The variance is also attributable to a decrease in planned capital spending for Pre-Board Screening associated with the deployment of advanced technology and CATSA’s life-cycle management plan.
As set out in its 2016–17 to 2020–21 Corporate Plan, CATSA’s funding priorities for the 2017–18 fiscal year will continue to focus on the delivery of its core mandated activities. This includes the ongoing deployment of CATSA’s new Hold Baggage Screening system at airports across Canada as part of its capital life-cycle management plan and enhancement of select Pre-Board Screening checkpoints to improve the passenger experience.
Footnotes

-
The incremental funding received from the Government of Canada of $29.0 million for Pre-Board Screening and $113.3 million for enhanced Non-Passenger Screening for 2016–17 was not reflected in CATSA’s 2016–17 Main Estimates of $624.0 million, as provided by Treasury Board Secretariat, as this funding was obtained through the 2016–17 Supplementary Estimates (A) approval process. CATSA is working with Transport Canada on an operationally effective long-term funding strategy for Pre-Board Screening and Non-Passenger Screening for 2017–18 and beyond.

Highlights
2017–18 will be the third year of the Corporation’s 5-year strategy, Strategy 2020. The strategy aims to better position the broadcaster to meet the fundamental shifts that are transforming the media universe, and consequently how it connects with Canadians. Strategy 2020 is a promise by CBC/Radio-Canada to intensify and deepen its one-on-one relationship with individual Canadians; work in partnership with the creative community to communicate the breadth and depth of Canada’s reality; and set the Corporation on a clear course to long-term financial sustainability. The vision is that by 2020, CBC/Radio-Canada will be the public space at the heart of our conversations and experiences as Canadians.
The Corporation’s appropriations for 2017–18 include the government’s reinvestment of $150 million announced in Budget 2016.
The reinvestment ensures transformation of the public broadcaster into the digital public space that will allow Canadians to engage with each other, and their world. The reinvestment would also counter existing financial pressures, strengthen the Corporation’s transformation by investing in new content and programming, and allow for enhanced services.

Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety
Raison d’être
The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) was founded by an Act of Parliament in 1978 with a mandate to promote health and safety in the workplace and to enhance the physical and mental health of working Canadians. CCOHS operates under the legislative authority of the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety Act (S.C., 1977–78, c. 29) which was passed by unanimous vote in the Canadian Parliament. The purpose of this Act is to promote the fundamental right of Canadians to a healthy and safe working environment by creating a national institute (CCOHS) concerned with the study, encouragement and co-operative advancement of occupational health and safety. CCOHS functions as an independent departmental corporation under Schedule II of the Financial Administration Act and is accountable to Parliament through the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour.
Its funding is derived from a combination of appropriations, cost recoveries and collaboration with the provinces. It is expected that a portion of the budget will be funded through cost recoveries from the creation, production, and worldwide sales of fee-for-service and revenue generating occupational health and safety products and services.
Additional information can be found in CCOHS’ Departmental Plan.

Canadian Commercial Corporation
Raison d’être
The Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) is governed by its enacting legislation, the 1946 Canadian Commercial Corporation Act. The Act outlines CCC’s broad mandate, which is to assist in the development of trade by helping Canadian exporters access markets abroad and by helping foreign buyers obtain goods from Canada. The legislation also provides CCC with a range of powers, including the ability to export goods from Canada either as principal or as agent in such a manner and to such an extent as it deems appropriate. As a result, CCC negotiates and executes bilateral government-to-government procurement arrangements, facilitating export transactions on behalf of Canadian exporters.
CCC reports to Parliament through the Minister of International Trade.

Canadian Dairy Commission
Raison d’être
The Canadian Dairy Commission (CDC) is a federal Crown corporation created in 1966 through the Canadian Dairy Commission Act.
It reports to Parliament through the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. Its legislated objectives are twofold: to provide efficient producers of milk and cream with the opportunity of obtaining a fair return for their labour and investment; and to provide consumers of dairy products with a continuous and adequate supply of dairy products of high quality.
The CDC plays a central facilitating role for the multi-billion dollar Canadian dairy industry. Federal-provincial agreements now provide the authority for many of the programs and activities that the CDC employees administer and facilitate on a day-to-day basis. The CDC strives to balance and serve the interests of all dairy stakeholders — producers, processors, further processors, exporters, consumers and governments.

Highlights
The Canadian milk supply management system rests on three pillars: production management, price setting and import controls. The CDC is directly involved in the administration of two of the three pillars (production management and price setting) via the establishment of industrial milk quota and support price.
The CDC administers the three revenue pooling and market sharing pools that exist among milk producers. Monthly, the CDC receives data from provincial milk marketing boards and calculates the payment transfers between provinces to equalize returns and adjusts quota allocations to provinces to account for the sharing of markets.
The CDC operates several programs for the benefit of the dairy industry. The Domestic Seasonality Programs ensure a steady supply of dairy products on the Canadian market. The Surplus Removal Programs ensure that milk components for which there is no outlet on the domestic market are removed in a timely fashion. Finally, the Matching Investment Fund and the Dairy Innovation program promote growth and innovation in the manufacture and use of dairy products and components. In addition, the CDC, on behalf of the industry, administers the Special Milk Class Permit Program (SMCPP) and the Dairy Export Program (DEP). The parameters of these programs are decided by the industry.
The CDC imports the tariff rate quota of butter and sells this butter to participants in the SMCPP through butter manufacturers. Profits that the CDC generates by this activity are used to finance initiatives that provide benefits to the industry. An example of these initiatives is the Dairy Research Cluster.
The CDC also controls the subsidized exports of Canadian dairy products through the issuance of export permits. This permit system has been put in place to ensure that Canadian exports of dairy products do not exceed the limits imposed on Canada by the World Trade Organization (WTO) for subsidized exports.
To stimulate investments and growth in the use of Canadian milk and dairy ingredients, the CDC created the program Milk Access for Growth.
Producers and processors announced in July 2016 the successful conclusion of negotiations to evolve the Canadian dairy system for the future. The CDC is currently evaluating the impact of the implementation of this strategy on the programs it administers.

Highlights
In support of its strategic outcome: high-quality and timely environmental assessments of major projects to protect the environment and support economic growth, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency works towards achieving the following organizational priorities:
- Delivering high-quality environmental assessments of major projects;
- Building effective relationships with Aboriginal Peoples; and
- Playing a lead role in shaping the future of federal environmental assessment.
The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s 2017–18 Main Estimates will total $30.6 million in voted authorities. This amount represents a net increase of $3.1 million compared to the 2016–17 Main Estimates. This difference is mainly attributable to the following:
- An increase of $2.6 million for ensuring robust environmental assessments and to ensure the Agency is adequately resourced to fulfill legislative obligations;
- An increase of $0.5 million for the review of environmental assessment processes;
- An increase of $0.2 million for a transfer from the Department of Natural Resources to support the administration of their participant funding for consultations with Indigenous groups; and
- A decrease of $0.2 million for the Budget 2016 reduction on professional services, travel and advertising.

Highlights
The CGC is estimating budgetary expenditures of $5.3 million in 2017–18. Of this amount, $4.7 million requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $0.6 million is to support employee benefit plan obligations.
The authority requested for 2017–18 Main Estimates is consistent with authority provided in 2016–17 Main Estimates.
The current CGC funding structure is based on budgetary authorities that are comprised of both statutory and voted authorities. The statutory authorities include employee benefit plan authority for appropriation funded positions and the CGC revolving fund authority which allows the CGC to re-spend fees that it has collected. The voted authority is Vote 1 – Program Expenditures which includes annual appropriation authority and any ad-hoc appropriation authority for the fiscal year.
A revolving fund was set up for the CGC in 1995 with the expectation that the CGC would be largely self-funded through fees for service. The CGC transitioned to a new fee structure in 2013–14. Updated user fees came into effect on August 1, 2013. The new fee structure has eliminated the requirement for annual ad-hoc funding. Revenues credited to the revolving fund are expected to be $57.0 million in 2017–18.
Additional information can be found in the CGC’s Departmental Plan.

Highlights
The Canadian Human Rights Commission is estimating budgetary expenditures of $21.82 million in 2017–18. Of this amount, $19.22 million requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $2.6 million represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for information purposes.
The variance of $326,000 between 2016–17 and 2017–18 Main Estimates is mostly due to the decrease of the Employee Benefit Plan rate. In 2017–18 there is also a decrease of $123,000 for the Budget 2016 reduction on professional services, travel and advertising.
The Commission’s planned spending will remain stable in 2016-17 and 2017–18.
Over the next year, the Commission will focus on :
- Raising awareness and mobilizing stakeholders around human rights issues to positively influence opinions and actions;
- Assessing ways to create a more user-friendly complaint process that people can easily access and fully participate in; and
- Shifting the way services are designed, managed and delivered by putting people at the centre of the Commission’s processes.

Highlights
CIHR is anticipating planned expenditures of $1,085.6 million in 2017–18. Of this amount, $1,079.8 million requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $5.8 million represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for information purposes.
The planned expenditures of $1,085.6 million in 2017–18 represents an increase of $60 million, or 5.8%, from the 2016–17 Main Estimates.
This increase is mainly due to the allocation of new ongoing funding through Budget 2015 and Budget 2016. Budget 2015 allocated $15 million to CIHR beginning in 2016–17 to expand the Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research as well as address antimicrobial resistance through health research. Budget 2016 allocated $30 million to CIHR beginning in 2016–17 to maintain and reinforce Canada’s position as a leading-edge, global knowledge economy by increasing CIHR’s support for early career investigators.
The remaining $15 million increase is the result of CIHR’s participation in tri-agency programs in collaboration with the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Funding for these programs varies by fiscal year as CIHR is allocated funding following each distinct competition depending on the successful applicants’ alignment with CIHR’s health-related mandate.
For example, beginning in 2016–17, CIHR has been allocated funding as a result of the second competition for the Canada First Research Excellence Fund, a program that helps post-secondary institutions to excel globally in research areas that create long-term economic advantages for Canada. Over 7 fiscal years, CIHR will be partially funding 8 of the 13 recipients for a total of $164.8 million of the $900 million awarded.
CIHR has also been allocated funding to begin in 2017–18 as a result of the third cohort of the Canada Excellence Research Chair program, a program that seeks to position Canada at the leading-edge of breakthroughs in priority research areas expected to generate economic and social benefits to Canadians. Over 7 fiscal years, CIHR will be funding 1 of the 3 new Chairs for a total of $12 million of the $24 million awarded.
Further details on CIHR’s 2017–18 planned expenditures are available in CIHR’s 2017–18 Departmental Plan.

Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat
Raison d’être
The President of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada is responsible for this organization. The Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat (CICS), established pursuant to an agreement reached at the May 1973 First Ministers’ Conference, is an agency of the federal, provincial and territorial governments. Its mandate is to provide administrative support and planning services for intergovernmental conferences of First Ministers, Ministers and Deputy Ministers.
These intergovernmental conferences are a key instrument for consultation and negotiation among the different orders of governments and assist in the development of national and/or provincial/territorial policies. They are a critical component of the workings of the Canadian federation and represent a core principle of our democratic society.
By skilfully executing the logistical planning and delivery of these meetings, CICS not only relieves governments of the administrative process burden but also allows them to greatly benefit from significant cost efficiencies and economies of scale.

Highlights
The Museum’s reference levels in Vote 1 for operating and capital expenditures in 2017–18 are $24.865 million.
The Board of Trustees updated the Museum’s goals based on the lessons learned in the first two years of operations. The updated goals will guide Museum operations and activities through the CMHR’s upcoming five years of operations. These goals will serve as a roadmap in five strategic areas – visitor experience, audience reach, recognized leader, financial sustainability and people.
The Board and Executive of the CMHR are committed to building on the Museum’s considerable successes. A defining hallmark of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights is its ability to inspire future generations. The Museum plans to expand its reach across Canada and the world, and to continually refresh and evolve exhibits, content and programming to ensure offerings remain impactful and relevant.
The Museum will continue in its efforts to maximize the net income from admissions, membership, programs, retail, facility rentals and commissions from the bistro and catering. Working with the Friends of CMHR, the Museum plans to develop and implement a sponsorship strategy to supplement appropriations and earned revenue.
Using business improvement methodologies, the Museum will review work processes to identify any overlap or redundancy in current processes and implement opportunities for continuous improvements.
Depending on long-term funding, the Museum plans to expand its remote and web based offerings; ensure the exhibits remain current and relevant to visitors; launch a travelling exhibits program; bring temporary exhibits from other institutions to CMHR, tailoring them to align with the CMHR mandate; continue to be innovative; expand linkages nationally and internationally to continue to contribute to increased economic benefits for Winnipeg, Manitoba and Canada; develop new and nationally relevant learning resources; and launch the National Student Program. Funding to CMHR was increased through federal Budget 2016, including ongoing funding for Payments in lieu of Taxes (PILT) and funding for priority capital requirements largely related to health and safety and the recapitalization of digital hardware and software.

Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
Raison d’être
The Minister of Natural Resources is responsible for this organization.
In 1946, Parliament passed the Atomic Energy Control Act and established the Atomic Energy Control Board, providing it with the power to regulate all nuclear activities related to the development and use of atomic energy in Canada.
More than half a century later, in May 2000, the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA) came into effect and established the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) as the successor to the Atomic Energy Control Board, with responsibilities and authorities to regulate an industry that spans all segments of the nuclear fuel cycle and a wide range of industrial, medical and academic uses of nuclear substances.
Additional information can be found in the CNSC’s Departmental Plan.

Highlights
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission is estimating budgetary expenditures of $136.9 million in 2017–18. Of this amount, $37.9 million requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $99.0 million represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for informational purposes.
The CNSC has statutory authority – pursuant to paragraph 21(3) of the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA) – to spend during a fiscal year any revenues that it receives in the current or previous fiscal year through the conduct of its operations. The CNSC receives its revenues from regulatory fees for licenses and applications charged in accordance with the CNSC Cost Recovery Fees Regulations.
In addition to the statutory authority, the CNSC is also funded through the voted budgetary authority from Parliament – Vote 1 – Program expenditures. Voted authority provides funding for activities exempt from paying fees under the CNSC Cost Recovery Fees Regulations (i.e., hospitals and universities), as these entities exist for the public good. Additionally, fees are not charged for activities that result from Canada’s obligations that do not provide a direct benefit to identifiable licensees. These include activities with respect to Canada’s international obligations (including non-proliferation activities), public responsibilities such as emergency management and public information programs, and the updating of the NSCA and its associated regulations.
In 2017-18, the CNSC’s Main Estimates have increased by $0.7 million or 0.6% when compared to the 2016-17 Main Estimates. The increase is due to a $1.5 million increase in Statutory expenditures resulting from an overall increase in projected expenditures due to salary increases. It is also attributable to an increase in revenues earned from formula fees, as a result of a phased-in review of formulas used with the CNSC Cost Recovery Fees Regulations, to align costs with regulatory activities for the various licence types. The increase in Statutory expenditures is partially offset by a decrease in Program expenditures of $0.8 million; of which $0.5 million is attributable to the sunset of funding associated with the single window horizontal initiative outlined in Beyond the Border: A Shared Vision for Perimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness (also known as the Beyond the Border Action Plan). The balance of $0.3 million is a result of Budget 2016 reductions related to professional services, travel and advertising.
Additional information can be found in the CNSC’s Departmental Plan.

Highlights
The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is estimating budgetary expenditures of $353.8 million in 2017-18. Of this amount, $344.6 million requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $9.2 million represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for information purposes.
Main Estimates planned budgetary expenditures were $432.4 million in 2016–17 representing a net decrease of $78.6 million between fiscal years 2016–17 and 2017–18. This corresponds to a decrease in Operating expenditures of $23.2 million, a decrease in Capital expenditures of $69.7 million and an increase in Grants and Contributions of $15.2 million. These fluctuations are mainly due to the fact that CSA’s projects and missions funding profile vary from year to year and require funding from different Votes depending on their development phases. As a result, pre and post-project expenditures are Operating expenditures whereas the design and build phases call for Capital expenditures. In addition, the science support associated with some projects may necessitate funds either in Operating expenditures or in Grants and Contributions.
The variation between fiscal years 2016–17 and 2017–18 is composed of:
- An increase of $10.3 million for activities related to the space station. The current year-over-year increase reflects different cash flow requirements;
- An increase of $10.0 million from the 2015 Budget for the Contribution Program under the Canada-European Space Agency Cooperation Agreement for the Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) program. (Budget 2015 provides the CSA with $30 million over four years, from 2016–17 to 2019–20);
- An increase of $7.5 million for items in Budget 2016 related to safety increase at John H. Chapman Space Centre as well as the purchase and installation of absorber material for the David Florida Laboratory (DFL) Bay 2 Anechoic Chamber;
- A net increase of $0.9 million due to additional funding received for the Canadian Space Agency’s David Florida Laboratory infrastructure and corresponding equipment to maintain its space capabilities and improve compliance with applicable building codes and standards;
- A $90.7 million decrease related to the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM). The current year-over-year decrease is due to different requirements in cash flow, of which $55.5 million is due to the effect of cumulative amounts carried forward and $35.2 million is due to the funding profile requested at the time of the implementation phase approval by Treasury Board;
- A decrease of $9.5 million due to funding received in 2016–17 for the provision of value-added satellite reports/images for humanitarian needs;
- A decrease of $4.8 million due to additional funding received in 2016–17 for the Maritime Monitoring and Messaging Micro-Satellite (M3MSat) project; and
- A decrease of $1.4 million related to Budget 2016 reduction on professional services, travel and advertising.

Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board
Raison d’être
The Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board is referred to as the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) in its day-to-day activities. The TSB is an independent agency created in 1990 by an Act of Parliament. It operates at arm’s length from other government departments and agencies to ensure that there are no real or perceived conflicts of interest. The TSB’s sole objective is to advance air, marine, rail and pipeline transportation safety. This mandate is fulfilled by conducting independent investigations into selected transportation occurrences to identify the causes and contributing factors, and the safety deficiencies evidenced by these occurrences.
The TSB makes recommendations to reduce or eliminate any such safety deficiencies and reports publicly on its investigations. The TSB then follows up with stakeholders to ensure that safety actions are taken to reduce risks and improve safety.
The TSB may also represent Canadian interests in foreign investigations of transportation accidents involving Canadian registered, licensed or manufactured aircraft, ships or railway rolling stock. In addition, the TSB carries out some of Canada’s obligations related to transportation safety at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The TSB is part of the Privy Council portfolio of departments and agencies. The Minister of Democratic Institutions and President of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada is responsible for tabling the TSB’s administrative reports in Parliament.

Highlights
The TSB is estimating budgetary expenditures of $29.4 million in 2017–18. Of this amount, $26.2 million requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $3.2 million represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for information purposes. The organization’s funding through Main Estimates has decreased from 2016–17 by $0.4 million due mainly to a decrease in the Employee Benefit Plan percentage as determined by Treasury Board Secretariat as part of the Annual Reference Level Update.
In 2017–18, the TSB will continue to strive to be a modern world-class organization that evolves and adapts as it strives to influence changes that advance transportation safety. This vision statement will be achieved by focusing on the strategic objectives of serving, improving, modernizing and updating, as outlined in the TSB’s five-year Strategic Plan. Further details regarding plans and priorities can be found in the TSB’s Departmental Plan and Strategic Plan.

Canadian Transportation Agency
Raison d’être
The Canadian Transportation Agency (the Agency) is an independent, quasi-judicial tribunal and regulator with the powers of a superior court. The Agency is an arm’s length organization that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Transport.
The Agency has three mandates:
- The Agency helps ensure that the national transportation system runs efficiently and smoothly in the economic and social interests of all Canadians; including those who work and invest in it; the producers, shippers, travellers and businesses who rely on it; and the communities where it operates.
- The Agency protects the human right of persons with disabilities to an accessible transportation network.
- The Agency provides consumer protection for air passengers.
To help advance these mandates, the Agency has three tools at its disposal:
- Rule-making: The Agency develops and applies ground rules that establish the rights and responsibilities of transportation service providers and users and that level the playing field among competitors. These rules can take the form of binding regulations or less formal guidelines, codes of practice or interpretation notes.
- Dispute resolution: The Agency resolves disputes that arise between transportation providers on the one hand, and their clients and neighbours on the other, using a range of tools from facilitation and mediation to arbitration and adjudication.
- Information provision: The Agency provides information on the transportation system, the rights and responsibilities of transportation providers and users, and its legislation and services.
More information on the Agency’s role, mission and mandate is available on the Agency website.

Highlights
The Courts Administration Service (CAS) is estimating budgetary expenditures of $75.25 million in 2017–18. Of this amount, $68.59 million requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $6.66 million represents the statutory funding forecast that does not require additional approval and is provided for information purposes.
The core programs of the CAS have remained relatively constant over the years. Nevertheless, CAS’ reference levels have been impacted by legislative changes affecting the workload of the federal courts as well as various government initiatives. The activities that have caused the majority of the variations in reference levels include:
- Renewal of funding for Division 9 proceedings of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act aimed at addressing challenges in the management of security inadmissibility cases, protecting classified information in immigration proceedings, and obtaining diplomatic assurances of safety for inadmissible individuals facing a risk of torture;
- Funding to remove the visa requirement for citizens of Mexico;
- Budget 2015 funding for investment in physical security enhancements such as additional cameras, security personnel and screening tools that will help ensure the federal courts remain secure and function properly. In addition, it will enable IT security enhancements to further protect judicial and CAS information;
- Budget 2016 funding to invest in information technology infrastructure upgrades to safeguard the efficiency of the federal court system; and
- Budget 2016 funding to help relocate the Quebec City federal courts facility, thereby ensuring continued federal courts presence in Quebec City.
More details on important trends and variances can be found in the CAS 2017–18 Departmental Plan, as well as the Financial Statements Discussion and Analysis and the Quarterly Financial Reports.

Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food
Raison d’être
The Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food (AAFC) was created in 1868 — one year after Confederation — because of the importance of agriculture to the economic, social and cultural development of Canada. Today, the Department helps create the conditions for the long-term profitability, sustainability and adaptability of the Canadian agricultural sector. AAFC supports the sector through initiatives that promote innovation and competitiveness, and that proactively manage risk. The Department’s goal is to position agriculture, agri-food and agri-based product industries to realize their full potential by seizing new opportunities in the growing domestic and global marketplace.
The Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food is responsible for this organization.

Highlights
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is estimating budgetary expenditures of $2.25 billion in 2017-18. Of this amount, $945.9 million is voted funding which requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $1.3 billion represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for information only.
Most of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s funding supports programs under Growing Forward 2, a five-year (2013-18) policy framework by federal, provincial and territorial governments for Canada’s agricultural and agri-food sector. Growing Forward 2 supports strategic investments that promote innovation, competitiveness and market development initiatives to help producers meet rising demand, both in Canada and internationally, while continuing to proactively manage risk. A significant portion of this $3 billion dollar investment is in the form of grants and contributions.
Compared to 2016-17, the Main Estimates have decreased by $12.5 million. Notable changes include:
- A decrease of $6.0 million in contributions to employee benefits plans as a result of a change in the established rate for 2017-18;
- A planned decrease of $4.6 million due to the sunsetting of the Churchill Port Utilization Program;
- $4.5 million transfer to Western Economic Diversification in support of the Saskatchewan Canadian Cattlemen’s Association project under the Western Diversification Program;
- A decrease of $3.9 million related to planned government wide spending reductions, as announced in Budget 2016;
- A decrease of $1.7 million for the Federal Infrastructure Initiative;
- An increase of $4.6 million to support genomics, digitization and data mobilization of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada biological collections, as announced in Budget 2016; and
- An increase of $2.6 million to improve access to international markets for Agricultural products as announced in Budget 2015.

Department of Citizenship and Immigration
Raison d’être
It is often said that Canada is a country of immigrants. And the numbers bear this out: 15 million immigrants have arrived since Confederation (over 6 million new immigrants since 1990); 1 in 5 Canadians were born outside Canada; 86% of eligible immigrants have obtained Canadian citizenship; and Canada is home to over 200 ethnic communities.
Managing the selection and settlement of newcomers – providing them pathways to citizenship – has shaped a nation, rich in diversity and brimming with the skills and innovative energy that have contributed to Canadian society and the economy generation after generation.
Looking forward, managing migration to Canada stands to be equally fundamental to Canada’s future social cohesion and prosperity. Demographic trends and labour force projections attest to the central role immigration will play in fuelling economic growth in a world of increased mobility and interdependence. As a welcoming society, with a successful track record of managing pathways to citizenship, Canada is well-positioned to:
- Attract global talent;
- Reunite families;
- Respond to crises and offer protection;
- Facilitate travel, study, and temporary work;
- Maintain world-leading rates of naturalization; and
- Offer service excellence to clients.
The Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship is responsible for this organization.
Note: Until the establishing legislation is amended, the legal name of the department for the purposes of Appropriation Acts remains Department of Citizenship and Immigration.

Highlights
ESDC is planning budgetary expenditures on programs and services totaling $57.4 billion in 2017–18. More than 96% of planned budgetary expenditures will directly benefit Canadians through the Old Age Security Program and other statutory transfer payment programs.
Of the total amount of planned expenditures, $2.4 billion requires approval from Parliament. The remaining $55.0 billion represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for information purposes.
The 2017–18 planned expenditures represent a decrease of $2.2 billion, or approximately 4%, when compared to the 2015–16 actual budgetary expenditures of $59.6 billion. The decrease is partly explained by a decrease in Universal Child Care Benefit, replaced by the new Canada Child Benefit. The decrease is offset by an increase to Old Age Security Pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement payments resulting from the aging population and the planned increase in the average monthly benefit amount.
When compared to the 2016–17 budgetary Main Estimates of $61.6 billion, the 2017–18 planned expenditures represent a decrease of $4.2 billion, primarily associated with statutory items. In particular, Universal Child Care Benefit represents a decrease of $7.7 billion. This significant decrease is offset by increases to the following items:
- An increase of $2.8 billion to Old Age Security Pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement payments explained by changes in the average monthly rate and in the number of beneficiaries;
- An increase of $461.5 million to the Canada Student Loans and Grants for Students and Apprentices Program, mostly explained by an increase to Canada Student Grants as a result of Budget 2016 measures to make post-secondary education more affordable for low- and middle-income families; and
- A $107.0 million increase to the Canada Disability Savings Grants and Bonds, which is due to a steady increase in total registered Canada Disability Savings Plans and participation in the program.
The Department plans to spend $576.8 million in 2017–18 in net operating expenditures (Vote 1), representing a decrease of $31.2 million from the 2016–17 Main Estimates of $608.0 million. The net decrease is mainly related to a reduction in resources for the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
Voted grants and contributions (Vote 5) are expected to reach $1.8 billion in 2017–18, an increase of $154.1 million from the 2016–17 Main Estimates. The increase is mainly attributable to investments announced in Budget 2016 to the Canada Summer Jobs and the Homelessness Partnering Strategy.
In relation to non-budgetary loans, there is a net decrease in authorities of $621.2 million from the 2016–17 Main Estimates, mainly as a result of Budget 2016 measures which increase grants and reduce the disbursement of loans as more borrowers will have their financial needs met by the increase in grants.

Highlights
Finance is estimating budgetary expenditures of $90.1 billion in 2017–18. Of this amount $90.0 billion or 99% represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for information only. The remaining $89.3 million require approval by Parliament.
The 2017–18 Main Estimates of $90.1 billion is $679.8 million higher compared to the 2016–17 Main Estimates of $89.5 billion, and is due to an increase of $681.3 million in statutory votes offset by a $1.5 million decrease in voted amounts.
The increase of $681.3 million in statutory votes is mainly due to:
- Canada Health Transfer – An increase of $1.1 billion reflecting the annual increased funding commitment in the Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act, 2012. Starting in 2017–18, the CHT grows based on a three-year moving average of nominal gross domestic product growth, with funding guaranteed to increase by at least 3 per cent per year. From 2006–07 to 2016–17, the CHT grew 6 per cent per year;
- Canada Social Transfer – An increase of $400.4 million reflecting the 3% annual increased funding commitment that commenced in 2009–10 and which was continued in the Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act, 2012 for 2014–15 and subsequent years;
- Fiscal Equalization – An increase of $373.2 million reflecting the 2.09% gross domestic product-based escalator being applied to the 2016–17 level;
- Territorial Financing – An increase of $145.5 million as a result of new and updated data used to calculate territorial expenditure requirements and revenue capacities entering the formula for Territorial Formula Financing;
- Alternative Payments for Standing Programs – A decrease in recoveries in the amount of $20.5 million as a result of a decrease in the value of personal income tax points that were transferred to Quebec;
- Purchase of Domestic Coinage – An increase of $8.0 million due to proposed amendments to the Royal Canadian Mint Act, which repealed the stipulation that the Mint cannot anticipate profit with respect to the provision of circulation coins;
- Youth Allowance Recovery – A decreased recovery of $2.0 million as a result of a decrease in the estimated value of personal income tax points that were transferred to Quebec;
- Additional Fiscal Equalization Offset Payment to Nova Scotia – A decrease of $13.3 million due to the decline in offshore oil and gas revenues received by Nova Scotia. The Nova Scotia 2005 offshore arrangement guarantees that the province’s offshore oil and gas revenues that enter the Equalization formula do not impact Equalization payments. Consequently, the province receives payments equal to the decline in Equalization due to these revenues;
- Additional Fiscal Equalization to Nova Scotia – A decrease of $43.9 million due to new data entering the formula, which is an average of data for three fiscal years. This program ensures that there is no reduction in combined Equalization and 2005 Offshore Accord Offset Payments relative to the previous Equalization formula (pre-2007);
- Other Interest Costs – A decrease of $528.0 million reflecting forecasted long-term bond rates by private sector economists in the 2016 Fall Economic Statement, which affects the average long-term bond rate that is used to calculate interest on the public sector pension obligations pertaining to services pre-April 1, 2000; and
- Interest on Unmatured Debt – A decrease of $764.0 million due to a downward revision of interest rates by private sector economists for 2017–18, consistent with the 2016 Fall Economic Statement.
The decrease of $1.5 million in Vote 1, Program expenditures is mainly due to a decrease in funding for:
- Budget 2015 initiatives ($1.0 million): G-20 Framework Working Group ($0.6 million); Corporate Asset Management Review ($0.4 million); and
- Budget 2016 reductions to professional services, advertising and travel ($0.5 million).

Highlights
Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development is estimating budgetary expenditures of $6.0 billion in 2017–18. Of this amount, $5.6 billion requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $368.4 million represents statutory forecasts that do not require additional approval and are provided for information purposes.
Significant items contributing to the net increase of $486.6 million from the 2016–17 Main Estimates include:
- An increase of $239.6 million to address the crises in Iraq and Syria and their impact on the region. This funding will support Canada’s response to the Middle East crises and the needs of conflict-affected people in Iraq, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon. This includes military resources to train, advise and assist Iraqi security forces in their efforts to degrade and defeat Daesh; stabilization, humanitarian and development assistance in Iraq and the region to address short-term needs and support resiliency, stability and prosperity over the long term; as well as diplomatic engagement;
- An increase of $213.9 million for the Peace and Stabilization Operations Program. Through the program, Canada works with its allies, partners and the UN to help stop violence, foster stability and create the necessary conditions for dialogue and conflict resolution.
The Program funds projects to advance key peace and security priorities, including support for peacebuilding efforts in the Middle East, as well as for the deployment of civilian experts to work in areas of fragility;
- An increase of $41.3 million to help developing countries in Asia and the Pacific address impact of climate change through the Climate Fund for the Private Sector;
- An increase of $31.1 million to support the management of the Canada-U.S. Softwood Lumber initiative, including negotiations towards a new agreement, ongoing monitoring of exports, and legal preparations for possible trade remedies action;
- A decrease of $25.3 million in the cost of assessed contributions, due to changes in the international organizations’ budgets and the impact of currency fluctuations resulting from the payment in the prescribed foreign currency of these contributions which represent Canada’s treaty obligations and legal commitments to international organizations such as United Nations and World Health Organization; and
- A decrease of $11.9 million relating to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations incurred on expenditures at missions abroad.

Highlights
The Department of Justice is estimating net budgetary expenditures of $656.16 million in 2017–18 of which $350.32 million is for expenditures linked to grants and contributions; $234.3 million is for the departmental operating expenditures; and $71.54 million is associated with statutory expenditures. As the primary legal services provider to other government departments and agencies, the Department of Justice collects fees for services rendered. An additional $296.2 million is planned to be collected and expended in 2017–18 under the department’s Vote-netted Revenue authority.
With the funds presented in these Main Estimates, the Department of Justice will fulfill three distinctive roles within the Government of Canada. It acts as:
- A policy department with broad responsibilities for overseeing all matters relating to the administration of justice that fall within the federal domain and, in this capacity, it strives to ensure a fair, relevant and accessible Canadian justice system for all Canadians;
- A provider of a range of legal advisory, litigation and legislative services to government departments and agencies; and
- A central agency responsible for supporting the Minister in advising Cabinet on all legal matters.
For more detailed information consult the Department of Justice 2017–18 Departmental Plan.
The Department of Justice’s total authority will decrease by $22.7 million from the 2016–17 Main Estimates. The primary changes include:
- An increase of $12.0 million in contribution funding for Legal Aid Systems and Access to Justice Services;
- An increase of $6.17 million in funding to support culturally-responsive victim services as well as Family Information Liaison Units for families of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, and families participating in the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls;
- An increase of $4.0 million in contribution funding in support of the Indigenous Courtwork Program (formerly known as the Aboriginal Courtwork Program);
- An increase of $2.55 million related to a compensation adjustment for the Law Management Occupational Group;
- A decrease of $16.60 million due to the sunsetting of the funding for the Supporting Families Experiencing Separation and Divorce Initiative;
- A decrease of $11.5 million related to the sunsetting of the funding for the delivery of immigration and refugee legal aid in provinces and territories;
- A decrease of $11.0 million due to the sunsetting of the funding for the Indigenous Justice Program (formerly known as the Aboriginal Justice Strategy);
- A decrease of $6.8 million to reflect a decrease in the employee benefit plan rate; and
- A decrease of $1.78 million due to a Budget 2016 reduction related to professional services, advertising and travel.

Highlights
National Defence is estimating budgetary expenditures of $18.7 billion in 2017–18.
Of this amount, $17.5 billion requires approval by Parliament. The remaining $1.2 billion represents statutory forecasts that do not require approval, but are listed for information.
National Defence’s increase in net authority of $21.8 million, or approximately 0.1%, from the 2016–17 Main Estimates to the 2017–18 Main Estimates, is due to an increase in operating costs of $436.5 million, a decrease in capital costs of $293.2 million, an increase in grants and contributions of $0.1 million and a decrease in statutory payments of $121.6 million.
Major factors contributing to the net decrease in authorities include:
- A decrease in spending on major capital equipment and infrastructure projects to align financial resources with current project acquisition timelines. This funding includes investments in major capital projects such as Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships, and the Halifax Class Modernization and Frigate Life Extension; and
- A decrease in incremental funding related to fleet maintenance. The fleet maintenance of major equipment has been maintained or increased using the annual escalator on defence spending; and
