Introduction for Supplementary estimates (B), 2016-17
Introduction
Structure of these Supplementary Estimates
This Supplementary Estimates document is presented in four sections:
- Introduction to Supplementary Estimates;
- Summary Tables;
- Details by Organization; and
- 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. The Supplementary Estimates (B), 2016–17 are the second of three Supplementary Estimates planned for this fiscal year.
Summary of Estimates
Estimates to date 2016–17
The 2016–17 Main Estimates were tabled on February 23, 2016, supporting the government’s request to Parliament for authority through annual appropriations to spend $89.8 billion in voted budgetary expenditures and $26.7 million in voted non-budgetary expenditures.
The 2016–17 Main Estimates also presented information on statutory amounts of $160.3 billion in budgetary expenditures and $338.8 million in net non-budgetary outlays. Royal Assent for Appropriation Act No. 1, 2016–17 was granted on March 24, 2016 and provided interim supply to appropriation-dependent organizations to cover requirements until the end of June 2016. Royal Assent for Appropriation Act No. 2, 2016–17 was granted on June 22, 2016 which provided supply for the remainder of the funding included in Main Estimates.
The Supplementary Estimates (A), 2016–17 were tabled on May 10, 2016 and provided information in support of $7.0 billion in voted budgetary appropriations and a $30.4 million increase in non-budgetary expenditures (loans, investments and advances). Royal Assent for Appropriation Act No. 3, 2016–17 was granted on June 22, 2016.
The Supplementary Estimates (B), 2016-17 provide information in support of $3.9 billion in voted budgetary expenditures which represent an increase of 4.3% over Main Estimates. Many of these voted expenditures are related to measures announced in Budget 2016. These and other budget measures are identified when they appear in the Estimates for the first time.
Supplementary Estimates also include material updates of "Statutory Forecasts" in an online annex.
