Introduction for Supplementary estimates (C), 2016-17

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. The Supplementary Estimates (C), 2016–17 are the final 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 were tabled on November 3, 2016 and provided information in support of $3.9 billion in voted budgetary expenditures. Royal Assent for Appropriation Act No. 4, 2016–17 was granted on December 15, 2016.

The Supplementary Estimates (C), 2016-17 provide information in support of $2.5 billion in voted budgetary expenditures which represent an increase of 2.75% 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.

These Estimates include an online annex to summarize the frozen allotments totaling $3.0 billion in the voted authorities of all organizations. This summary gives Parliament an early indication of the lapse expected in the 2017 Public Accounts.

Notes:

  1. Budgetary expenditures include the cost of servicing the public debt; operating and capital expenditures; transfer payments to other levels of government, organizations or individuals; and payments to Crown corporations.
  2. Non-budgetary expenditures (loans, investments and advances) are outlays that represent changes in the composition of the financial assets of the Government of Canada. Negative proposed authorities indicate that recoveries exceed expenditures.
  3. Voted appropriations are those for which parliamentary authority is sought through an appropriation bill.
  4. Statutory expenditures are those authorized by Parliament through enabling legislation and for which forecasts are provided for information purposes.
  5. Authorities To Date and Proposed Authorities include two-year appropriations of $487,940,011 for Canada Border Services Agency, Canada Revenue Agency and Parks Canada Agency. These three agencies have the authority to carry forward funds approved in 2015–16 which are unspent to 2016–17. The following chart – Supplementary Estimates as part of total Estimates – reflects only 2016–17 Estimates, so it excludes the two-year appropriations.

Public Accounts of Canada for 2015–16

The Public Accounts of Canada for 2015–16, which were tabled in Parliament on October 25, 2016, present the financial consolidated statements for the government as well as the details of expenses and revenues for the fiscal year. An online annex included with these Estimates, provides a reconciliation of authorities shown in the Estimates and the total expenses reported in the Public Accounts.

Major Items

The following section provides an overview of major voted initiatives included in these Supplementary Estimates in support of Parliamentary approval.

Treasury Board Secretariat: $545.0 million

Paylist requirements – Funding for adjustments made to terms and conditions of service or employment of the federal public administration

Given the number of collective agreements that may be ratified in the coming weeks, this funding provides the Government with capacity to address pressures that could be realized by the end of the fiscal year. This figure takes into account the amounts reprofiled from previous years by departments in order to manage the costs for which they are responsible as a result of the 2013 operating budget freeze. It also includes the employer's anticipated costs related to 2016–17.

Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food: $350.0 million

Funding for the transfer of federal water infrastructure to the Government of Saskatchewan (Budget 2016)

The Department intends to transfer $350 million and 19 dams to the Province of Saskatchewan's Water Security Agency by the end of March 2017. Transferring the federal dams and funding will provide the Government of Saskatchewan with necessary infrastructure to meet its provincial water management objectives.

Department of Employment and Social Development: $178.4 million

Funding to write off debts owed to the Crown for unrecoverable Canada Student Loans

The Canada Student Loans Program provides financial assistance to post-secondary students in financial need. This funding will be applied to write off 32,554 debts for which reasonable efforts to collect the amounts owed have been unsuccessful. Consistent with standard accounting practices, defaulted loans are written off on a regular basis.

Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development: $174.0 million

Funding to address humanitarian assistance requirements and antimicrobial resistance

This funding will be used to provide humanitarian assistance to populations affected by the impacts of El Niño ($45 million), including critical food and other basic support until the next harvest season, as well as to address the immediate, life-saving needs of people affected by conflict or disaster and maintain Canada's humanitarian assistance responses ($120.0 million). Another $9.0 million will be used to support international action on antimicrobial resistance.

Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, Department of the Environment: $133.0 million

Funding to help developing countries address the impact of climate change

In November 2015, Canada announced a $2.65 billion contribution to help developing countries tackle climate change over five years. Funding in these Estimates will be used for contributions to the International Finance Corporation to support the Africa Renewable Energy Initiative, to the Asian Development Bank to support the Canadian Climate Fund for the Private Sector in Asia, and for the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change capacity building initiative for transparency.

Department of Veterans Affairs: $132.3 million

Funding for demand-driven programs and services which provide support to eligible veterans and their families

Veterans Affairs Canada provides several financial benefits and health care and rehabilitation support programs to eligible Canadian Armed Forces members, Veterans, their families and other eligible recipients. The requested funds are to support increases in some programs due to updated client and expenditure information. These adjustments stem mainly from an increased number of veterans accessing programs, such as the Disability Award and the Earnings Loss Benefit, given greater program awareness, and increased requirements for health services.

Treasury Board Secretariat: $95.4 million

Compensation adjustments – Transfers to departments and agencies for salary adjustments

This funding will compensate departments, agencies and appropriation-dependent Crown corporations for the impact of collective bargaining agreements, and other related adjustments to terms and conditions of service or employment. The costs result from agreements concluded from August 1 to December 9, 2016.

Canada Border Services Agency: $85.5 million

Funding to help the CBSA maintain the integrity of Canada's border operations

The Agency is facing operational pressures due to changing volumes across business lines, growth in international commerce and the threats of terrorism and organized crime. This funding will be used to maintain service levels for wait times and inspection rates at major ports of entry and to improve the capacity for export control over high-risk goods leaving Canada.

Treasury Board Secretariat: $76.4 million

Funding to address shortfalls under the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Disability Insurance Plan

The Plan offers disability insurance and rehabilitation to RCMP members and to certain officers of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. The Plan is funded through government and member premiums, as well as from investment income. Higher payments to claimants, an increase in disability claims and sustained low interest rates have led to a deficit in the plan. This funding will return the Plan to a surplus position.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police: $70.0 million

Funding to maintain RCMP operations pending completion of a comprehensive resourcing review (Budget 2016)

This funding will support the continued delivery of current RCMP activities while a comprehensive review of resources is underway.

Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development: $56.4 million

Funding to reimburse First Nations and emergency management service providers for on-reserve response and recovery activities

The Emergency Management Assistance Program ensures that First Nations have access to response and recovery services comparable to those available off reserve in the case of flood, fire and other disasters. This funding will be used to reimburse provinces, territories, First Nations and non-governmental organizations, such as the Canadian Red Cross, for expenditures incurred for emergency management activities on reserve in 2016–17.
