Introduction for Supplementary Estimates (B), 2014-15

Introduction

Structure of these Supplementary Estimates

This Supplementary Estimates document is presented in four sections:

  1. Introduction to Supplementary Estimates;
  2. Summary Tables;
  3. Details by Organization; and
  4. Annex.

Purpose and General Information

Each year, the government prepares Estimates in support of its request to Parliament for authority to spend public funds. This request for spending authority is formalized through the introduction of appropriation bills in Parliament. The Main Estimates and Supplementary Estimates are tabled in the House of Commons by the President of the Treasury Board and support Parliament's consideration of the appropriation bills. As with other bills, appropriation bills become law after being approved by both the House of Commons and the Senate and receiving Royal Assent.

The purpose of Supplementary Estimates is to present to Parliament information on the Government of Canada's spending requirements which were either not sufficiently developed in time for inclusion in the Main Estimates, or have subsequently been refined to account for developments in particular programs and services. Also included for Parliament's information and eventual approval through an appropriation bill are such items as: transfers of money between Votes; debt deletion; loan guarantees; new or increased grants; and changes to Vote wording.

Supplementary Estimates documents are tabled in Parliament in advance of the related appropriation bill that, when approved, provides the necessary authority for the Government of Canada to spend monies from the Consolidated Revenue Fund to deliver its programs and services. This provides the various Standing Committees of Parliament with time to review proposed spending before the introduction of the appropriation bill.

Supplementary Estimates also provide updated information on changes to expenditure forecasts of statutory items for information purposes only. These expenditures already have legislative authority and so will not appear in the appropriation bill related to these Supplementary Estimates, but expenditure forecasts are available online.

It is the practice to table a Supplementary Estimates for each of the three Parliamentary Supply periods ending June 23, December 10, and March 26. These Supplementary Estimates (B), 2014–15 are the second of three Supplementary Estimates planned for this fiscal year.

Summary of Estimates

Estimates to date 2014–15

The 2014–15 Main Estimates were tabled on , supporting the government's request to Parliament for authority through annual appropriations to spend $86.3 billion in voted budgetary expenditures and $26.7 million in voted non-budgetary expenditures and presenting information on the statutory amounts of $149.1 billion in budgetary expenditures and $10.1 billion in net non-budgetary recoveries. Royal Assent for Appropriation Act No. 1, 2014–15 was granted on and provided interim supply to appropriation-dependent organizations until the end of . Royal Assent for Appropriation Act No. 2, 2014–15 was granted on and provided supply for the remaining amounts presented in Main Estimates.

Supplementary Estimates (A) were tabled on and provided information in support of requests for Parliament's approval of $2.4 billion in voted budgetary appropriations – which represent an increase of 2.8% over Main Estimates – and $44.4 million in non-budgetary expenditures (loans, investments and advances). Information related to an increase of $11.4 million in forecast budgetary statutory expenditures was also presented. Royal Assent for Appropriation Act No. 3, 2014–15 was granted on .

The Supplementary Estimates (B), 2014–15 provide information in support of requests for Parliament's approval of $2.9 billion in voted budgetary appropriations – which represent an increase of 3.3% over Main Estimates – and two items relating to changes in non-budgetary expenditures (loans, investments and advances). Information related to an increase of $327.9 million in forecast budgetary statutory expenditures is available online.

Given the differences in timing of the preparation of the Main Estimates and the Budget, the 2014–15 Main Estimates do not include new measures from Budget 2014. Following an announcement in the Budget, organizations must prepare detailed spending plans for Treasury Board approval before new spending is presented in Estimates. As the amount of time needed to develop plans varies by initiative, new Budget measures will not all appear in the same Estimates. Beginning with Budget 2013, the first time items announced in a federal budget are included in Supplementary Estimates, they are identified as such in Estimates documents.
