Highlights of these Estimates

In this section

The Supplementary Estimates (C), 2017–18 seek parliamentary approval for $4.0 billion in new voted spending, including $148.4 million for priorities announced in Budget 2017, such as creating more opportunities for Indigenous peoples, attracting talent to strengthen university research, building strong Indigenous communities and innovating to solve Canada’s big challenges.

Voted spending also includes funding for wages and benefits, defence programs, military operations, addressing climate change, international assistance and services for Veterans.

Six organizations are seeking over $200.0 million in voted budgetary appropriations:

Treasury Board Secretariat ($919.5 million);
Department of National Defence ($775.1 million);
Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development ($422.7 million);
Department of Indigenous Services Canada ($291.2 million);
Royal Canadian Mounted Police ($251.7 million); and
Department of Employment and Social Development ($228.5 million).

General Information

In order to spend money, the government must receive Parliament’s approval, either through previously adopted legislation that provides ongoing authority or on an annual basis through the introduction and passage of appropriation bills in Parliament. As with other bills, appropriation bills become law after being approved by both the House of Commons and the Senate and receiving Royal Assent.

To support Parliament’s consideration and review, the President of the Treasury Board tables in Parliament, prior to the introduction of each appropriation bill, an Estimates publication (Interim, Main or Supplementary) that provides information and details on spending authorities sought.

While the Main Estimates provide an overview of spending requirements for the upcoming fiscal year, Supplementary Estimates present information on additional 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.

The Supplementary Estimates (C), 2017–18 are the third and final Supplementary Estimates planned for this fiscal year.

For this exercise, the President of the Treasury Board tables a document in Parliament that includes:

A summary of the government’s incremental financial requirements;
An overview of major funding requests and horizontal initiatives;
Highlights of new authority requirements and structural changes;
Funding details by organization; and
A proposed schedule to the appropriation bill to be approved by Parliament via the House of Commons and the Senate.

In addition to the tabled document, the following supplemental information is also available online;

Detailed listing of legislated amounts reported through the Estimates;
A complete breakdown of planned expenditures by standard object, such as personnel, professional services and transfer payments;
Planned expenditures by program or purpose in accordance with the organizations’ Program Alignment Architecture or Departmental Reporting Framework;
Allocations from Treasury Board Central Votes;
A listing of transfers between organizations;
Supplemental information of horizontal initiatives and other jointly funded items by organization;
A listing of frozen allotments in voted authorities;
A graphical summary of financial highlights; and
A reconciliation between the Main Estimates and the Public Accounts for the fiscal year 2016–17.

The following terminology is used throughout this document:

2015–16 Expenditures refer to the actual expenditures published in the 2016 Public Accounts;
2016–17 Estimates to date include the aggregate of the requirements reported in the Main Estimates, and Supplementary Estimates A, B and C of that fiscal year;
Authorities to date are comprised of amounts reported in the prior Estimates of the current fiscal year, two-year appropriations and allocations from Treasury Board Central Votes;
These Supplementary Estimates refer to the requirements reported through Supplementary Estimates (C);
Proposed Authorities is the sum of all the amounts reported in the Estimates of the current fiscal year, two-year appropriations and allocations from Treasury Board Central Votes;
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;
Non-budgetary expenditures — or loans, investments and advances – are outlays that represent changes in the composition of the Government’s financial assets. Negative figures indicate that recoveries exceed expenditures;
Voted appropriations are those for which parliamentary authority is sought through an appropriation bill; and
Statutory expenditures are those authorized by Parliament through enabling legislation and for which forecasts are provided for Parliament’s information.

Summary of Estimates

The Supplementary Estimates (C), 2017–18 provides information in support of voted budgetary expenditures in the amount of $4.0 billion for a total of $115.0 billion in 2017–18. This is an increase of 3.6% over the authorities to date, and proposed authorities are 11.5% more than 2016–17 Estimates to date.

The following chart – Supplementary Estimates as part of total Estimates – reflects only 2017–18 Estimates, so it excludes the two-year appropriations.

Estimates to date 2017–18

Three Estimates have been tabled previously for 2017–18. The 2017–18 Main Estimates were tabled on February 23, 2017, supporting the government’s request to Parliament for authority through annual appropriations to spend $102.1 billion in voted budgetary expenditures and $26.7 million in voted non-budgetary expenditures. The 2017–18 Main Estimates also presented information on statutory amounts of $155.8 billion in budgetary expenditures and a $246.2 million net non-budgetary recovery.

The Supplementary Estimates (A), 2017–18 were tabled on May 11, 2017 and presented information in support of an additional $3.7 billion in voted budgetary expenditures and $30.4 million in voted non-budgetary expenditures. In relation to statutory amounts, an increase of $62.0 million in budgetary expenditures and a $625.0 million net increase in non-budgetary expenditures were shown.

The Supplementary Estimates (B), 2017–18 were tabled on October 26, 2017 and presented information in support of an additional $4.5 billion in voted budgetary expenditures. Information on a $395.3 million increase in statutory budgetary expenditures was also included.

The Supplementary Estimates (C), 2017–18 provide information in support of $4.0 billion in voted budgetary expenditures and $14.0 million in voted non-budgetary expenditures. Changes to forecasts of statutory spending are also shown: a $336.4 million decrease in statutory budgetary expenditures and a $264.5 million increase in statutory non-budgetary expenditures.

Appropriation Acts in 2017–18

Royal Assent for Appropriation Act No. 1, 2017–18 was granted on March 30, 2017 and provided interim supply to appropriation-dependent organizations to cover requirements until the end of June 2017.

On June 22, 2017, Royal Assent was received for the second and third appropriation acts of 2017–18. These acts provided supply for the remainder of planned expenditures presented in the 2017–18 Main Estimates and for Supplementary Estimates (A), 2017–18.

On December 12, 2017, Royal Assent was received for the fourth appropriation act of 2017–18 which provided supply for Supplementary Estimates (B), 2017–18.

In March 2018, the President of the Treasury Board will introduce a bill to approve the funding in Supplementary Estimates (C), 2017–18.

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: $622.9 million

Funding to address shortfalls under the Service Income Security Insurance Plan

Canadian Armed Forces Long-Term Disability, provided by the Service Income Security Insurance Plan (SISIP), offers long-term disability insurance and vocational rehabilitation to medically released members of the Canadian Armed Forces (both Regular and Reserve Forces). SISIP is currently under-funded and in a deficit situation due to a significantly higher number of claims, largely owing to increased awareness and recognition of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and mental health. The Government of Canada is contractually obligated to resolve SISIP deficits and incurs charges when the surplus falls below 40% of annual premiums. This funding will immediately resolve the shortfall, halt charges from being incurred and help to support claim volumes.

Department of National Defence: $435.4 million

Funding in support of Canadaʼs Defence Policy: Strong, Secure, Engaged

Strong, Secure, Engaged offers a clear direction on Canadian defence priorities over a 20 year horizon. The funding in these Estimates is for defence engagement program expansion, health and wellness strategy, in-service support and operating funding for Strong, Secure, Engaged initiatives.

Department of National Defence: $277.6 million

Funding for Canadaʼs military contribution to the Global Coalition to counter Daesh (Operation IMPACT); North Atlantic Treaty Organization assurance and deterrence measures in Central and Eastern Europe (Operation REASSURANCE); counter-terrorism and Maritime security operations in the Middle East (Operation ARTEMIS); and Canadaʼs military mission in Ukraine (Operation UNIFIER)

Under OP IMPACT, Canada provides air refueling and tactical airlift capabilities, leads a medical facility, advises and assists the Iraqi Security Forces to develop their military skills and supports Iraqi Security Forces and other regional partners.

Under OP REASSURANCE, Canada provides an enhanced Forward Presence Battlegroup to Latvia, periodic contributions of an Air Task Force to support NATO air policing, and a frigate to the Standing NATO Maritime Groups.

Under OP ARTEMIS, Canada will commence preparations for possible command of a maritime Combined Task Force, staff contributions to Allied and Partner Nations’ Commands, and deployment of a ship and a maritime patrol aircraft.

Under OP UNIFIER, the Canadian Armed Forces continue to train Ukrainian forces in a range of capabilities.

Treasury Board Secretariat: $250.0 million

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

Funding will be used to reimburse the Canada Revenue Agency for the payment of accumulated severance pay benefits. Under the collective agreement signed between the Canada Revenue Agency and the Public Service Alliance of Canada in the fall of 2016, employees are no longer accumulating severance pay in cases of resignation and retirement. Severance benefits accumulated up to the signature of the collective agreement are payable to the employee upon request. Eligible expenditures are reimbursed through a direct transfer to departmental appropriations during the fiscal year in which such costs are actually incurred.

Eleven organizations: $218.7 million

Funding for the 2018 G7 Summit in Charlevoix, Quebec

The 2018 (G7) Leaders’ Summit will be held in La Malbaie, Quebec as part of the Canadian G7 presidency. The requested amounts will fund the G7 Leaders’ Summit, ministerial meetings and outreach events held throughout Canada in 2018. The majority of funding for the presidency will support security measures, including deployment of RCMP and military personnel, support of provincial police and necessary equipment. Funding will also be used for logistical needs such as leasing of space, temporary staff and upgrades to the local communication network.

Department of Employment and Social Development: $203.5 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 34,240 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: $202.5 million

Funding to support international assistance priorities

Budget 2017 allocated $202.5 million from the International Assistance Envelope to the Department. The International Assistance Envelope is a pool of resources dedicated to supporting Canada’s international assistance efforts. Funding in these Estimates will be used towards projects aligned with the Departmentʼs new Feminist International Assistance Policy.

Department of Veterans Affairs: $177.2 million

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

The Department provides several disability benefits, 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 increased requirements for health services.

Department of Public Works and Government Services and Treasury Board Secretariat: $172.5 million

Funding for the stabilization of the Government of Canada’s pay system

This funding will increase capacity for client support and pay transaction processing and will support improvements along the human resources and pay processes continuum. Non-budgetary funding will support advances to collective bargaining agents which are required due to delays in receiving union dues.

Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development: $169.7 million

Funding to help developing countries to 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 projects with a global reach through the Corporation’s Canadian Climate Change Program, and to the Inter-American Development Bank to support the Canadian Climate Fund for the Private Sector in the Americas.

Structural Changes and Changes to Voted Authorities since the 2017–18 Main Estimates

The following structural changes are reflected in these Estimates:

Department of Indigenous Services Canada was created, the Minister of Indigenous Services was designated the appropriate Minister for the purposes of the Financial Administration Act and portions of the Department of Health and the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development were transferred to the new Department (Orders in Council P.C. 2017-1464 and 2017-1465).
The Parliament of Canada Act was amended to make the Parliamentary Budget Officer an independent officer of Parliament (Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 1). The Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer (formerly part of the Library of Parliament) appears on its own for the first time in these Estimates.

The following new or amended authorities are sought through the Appropriation Act for these Estimates:

Department of Citizenship and Immigration has added Vote 7 to write off debts related to immigration loans;
Department of Employment and Social Development has added Vote 7 to write off debts related to student loans;
Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development is amending Vote 20 to increase the maximum amount of direct payments to international financial institutions;
Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development is amending Vote L25 to update the estimate in Canadian dollars of the maximum amount for the purchase of shares of international financial institutions; and,
