Introduction for Supplementary Estimates (A), 2017–18
Introduction
These Supplementary Estimates are presented in six sections:
- Highlights of these Estimates, including their overall impact on the Government’s spending plan and appropriated authorities for the fiscal year;
- General Information about the Estimates process and how to use this document;
- Key Summaries of the authorities presented in these Estimates for Parliament’s approval or information, a comparison of Budget 2017 and the 2017–18 Estimates, major items, and horizontal initiatives;
- Details by Organization on the voted authorities sought through these Estimates, as well as updates to statutory forecasts;
- Annex – Items for inclusion in the Proposed Schedules to the Appropriation Bill; and
- Additional Information available online, on statutory authorities and these Estimates by program or purpose and by standard object. These Estimates also include a new online annex on horizontal initiatives with additional detail on the activities of participating organizations, in response to a request from the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
Highlights of these Estimates
The Supplementary Estimates (A), 2017–18 seek parliamentary approval for $3.7 billion in new voted spending, including $1.0 billion for priorities announced in Budget 2017, like supporting skills development, helping young Canadians succeed and delivering better transportation.
The Government continues to be committed to better align the Budget and Estimates so that Parliament can approve funding in a more timely manner. These Estimates include funding for 26 Budget 2017 measures, compared with as few as 6 budget measures in the past three Supplementary Estimates (A) exercises.
Also, for the second year in a row, this document compares funding announced in this year’s federal budget with that requested through Supplementary Estimates (A). This reconciliation makes it easier for Parliament to study the government’s spending plans and hold the Government to account.
New voted budgetary spending of $616.1 million is also being sought for the continuation of Budget 2016 priorities such as supporting families through early learning and child care.
Voted spending also includes funding for significant pressures related to collective bargaining, specific claims settlements, protection of oceans and coastlines, as well as support for the 2017 Immigration Levels Plan.
Six organizations are seeking over $200.0 million in incremental voted budgetary expenditures:
- Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development ($718.9 million)
- Treasury Board Secretariat ($651.4 million)
- Department of Employment and Social Development ($584.6 million)
- Department of Fisheries and Oceans ($359.4 million)
- VIA Rail Canada Inc. ($235.4 million)
- Canada Border Services Agency ($204.4 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 (Main or Supplementary) that provides information and details on spending authorities sought.
While the Main Estimates, tabled by , provides 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.
It is practice to table a Supplementary Estimates for each of the three Parliamentary supply periods ending , and . The Supplementary Estimates (A), 2017–18 are the first of three exercises 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;
- A comparison of the Budget 2017 forecast and planned expenditures in the 2017–18 Estimates;
- 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.
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; and,
- Supplemental information of horizontal initiatives and other jointly funded items by organization.
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.
- Previous Estimates to Date refer to amounts reported in the prior Estimates of the current fiscal year, i.e., 2017–18 Main Estimates in this case.
- These Supplementary Estimates refer to the requirements reported through Supplementary Estimates (A).
- Proposed Authorities is the sum of all the amounts reported in the Estimates of the current fiscal year, i.e., Main Estimates and Supplementary Estimates A in this case.
- 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.
- 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 (A), 2017–18 provides information in support of voted budgetary expenditures in the amount of $3.7 billion for a total of $105.9 billion. This is an increase of 3.6% over the 2017–18 Main Estimates and 2.6% more than the total Estimates of 2016–17.

Comparison of Budget and Estimates
The Government is committed to improve the reporting process to increase accountability to Parliament and Canadians. Where possible, this includes ensuring consistent reporting of budget and estimates information to help make the process of reviewing government spending more open, transparent and accountable.
While each document serves its own specific purpose, the differences between them can create confusion given the different scope and accounting methods as well as the timing challenges.
For a second year in a row, these Supplementary Estimates present a summary of the adjustments necessary to understand how the forecast of planned expenditures in the estimates compares with the expense forecast set out in the federal budget.
The following table presents a high-level reconciliation of Budget 2017 and the 2017–18 Estimates to date, in order to provide greater clarity on the relationship between the figures presented in each. This reconciliation allows for a more effective study of the cash requirements in the 2017–18 Estimates that are derived from the accrual-based budget plan.

Items Not Included in the Estimates
The budget forecast covers the complete scope of the Government’s fiscal framework, including revenues, program and tax expenditures, statutory expenditures such as Employment Insurance benefits, and provision for future obligations such as public service pensions. The scope of the estimates is narrower than the budget forecast. The main purpose of the estimates is to support Parliament’s consideration of the appropriation bills, which are the legal instruments for authorizing certain payments.
The estimates are therefore focused on the government’s cash needs which require parliamentary appropriations and exclude certain items reported in the Budget. Costs related to Children’s benefits and Employment Insurance benefits are the largest components of the items excluded from the estimates.
The Canada Child Benefit is legislated through the Income Tax Act and is considered an expenditure for government financial reporting purposes. Parliament does not authorize annual spending for this item or for any other tax expenditure or refundable tax credit.
Most Employment Insurance costs are paid directly out of the Employment Insurance Operating Account, rather than a departmental appropriation, and are therefore not specifically included in estimates. Revenues and expenses associated with the Employment Insurance Operating Account are incorporated in the budget, as are other consolidated specified purpose accounts.
Other items in this category where spending is not subject to annual parliamentary approval are expenses of crown corporations (who spend the revenues that they generate) as well as revenues credited to departmental appropriations ("net voting" authorities).
Differences in Accounting Basis
The budget is presented on a full accrual basis whereas the estimates are presented on a modified cash basis. The accrual basis of accounting recognizes income when it is earned and expenses when they are incurred, whereas cash accounting recognizes them when the cash or its equivalent has been paid.
As a result, certain items will be reported differently between the two publications. Examples of such items include the remediation of contaminated sites and the depreciation of capital assets. This category also includes other items, such as bad debt expenses and certain costs related to pensions and benefits for which cash disbursements are expected to be made in subsequent years but for which expenses are accrued in the current year.
Budget 2017 and Other Measures Not Yet Approved by Treasury Board
This category of spending corresponds to items that have been approved and earmarked in the fiscal framework but for which Parliamentary spending authority has yet to be sought, including the remaining Budget 2017 spending measures.
The difference exists because the budget is forward looking and presents expenses anticipated for a given year, while the voted expenditures shown in the estimates refer to amounts that have already received Treasury Board approval as of a particular date. As such, the estimates provide the maximum amount of appropriated funding that can be spent at that point in time, while the budget projects the amount of spending that will likely be spent over the entire course of the year.
There are many reasons why funding for announced initiatives may not yet have been presented to the Treasury Board for approval, with one of the most common being that additional policy discussion or authority from Cabinet is required to finalize details of the initiative.
Assumed lapse of operating and transfer payments authorities
The budget forecast also recognizes that some amount of spending included in the estimates will lapse at the end of the fiscal year, and either be reprofiled to future years or simply remain unspent.
These lapses are influenced by many factors, such as contract and project delays, uncommitted authorities in the Treasury Board managed central votes, as well as departmental funds management practices to ensure that spending does not exceed the authorities approved by Parliament.
Other
This category represents a number of diverse factors, including provisions for the cost of possible future liabilities and cost increases.
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: $625.0 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 have either recently been ratified or may be ratified in the coming weeks, this funding provides the Government with capacity to address pressures. 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 a portion of the employer’s anticipated costs related to 2016–17. Funding for paylist requirements presented in the Supplementary Estimates (C), 2016–17 was not allocated to departments as collective agreements were not ratified by the end of 2016–17.
Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development: $446.5 million
Funding for specific claims settlements
Specific claims are claims by a First Nation against the federal government which relate to the administration of land or other First Nation assets and to the fulfillment of treaties. The primary objective of the Specific Claims Policy is to discharge outstanding legal obligations of the federal government through negotiated settlement agreements. The Specific Claims Settlement Fund is used to provide compensation to First Nations to discharge outstanding legal obligations of the federal government.
Department of Employment and Social Development: $400.0 million
Funding for transfer agreements with provinces and territories to support early learning and child care (Budget 2016)
Federal, provincial and territorial governments have developed an Early Learning and Child Care Framework as a first step towards delivering affordable, high-quality, flexible and fully inclusive child care. The Early Learning and Child Care Framework is based on a long-term vision, shared principles and objectives. Because child care needs vary from family to family, and because provinces and territories have responded to those needs in different ways, the Framework and associated funding will be flexible to meet the needs of Canadian families wherever they live.
VIA Rail Canada Inc.: $235.4 million
Funding for national rail passenger transportation services (Budget 2017)
Budget 2017 announced $867.3 million over three years, starting in 2017–18, to support VIA’s operations and capital requirements. Operating funding will be used for to cover VIA’s regular expenses such as employee wages and benefits, pension requirements, overhead expenditures, fuel consumption, on-train products, maintenance and inspection programs and train service agreements with host railways for usage of track. Capital funding will allow VIA to maintain its assets in a state of good repair and to adhere to new regulatory requirements for equipment and rail infrastructure. Capital projects include updates to several train stations and improvements to a number of grade crossings in the corridor.
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Department of Natural Resources, Department of the Environment, Department of Transport: $209.1 million
Funding for the Oceans Protection Plan to improve marine safety and protect Canada’s marine environment
This funding will be used to develop and implement comprehensive plans to make navigation in Canadian waters safer and to protect Canada’s coastlines and waterways. Supported activities include:
- Expanding the availability of local, real-time marine traffic information;
- Strengthening radar capacity and marine communications and traffic services centres;
- Providing more detailed marine weather forecasts and navigational information;
- Increasing the federal on-water presence, emergency response and towing capacity;
- Conducting research on oil spills, response measures and clean-up;
- Increasing engagement of Indigenous communities in the marine safety system; and,
- Expanding the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
Canada Border Services Agency, Department of Citizenship and Immigration, Immigration and Refugee Board: $185.0 million
Funding to support the targeted admission of 300,000 immigrants under the 2017 Immigration Levels Plan
This funding will assist in welcoming 300,000 immigrants to Canada for the 2017 calendar year. The activities include processing claims from intake to final decision, delivery of health care to refugees, providing settlement and resettlement services, expanding Canada’s immigration presence abroad, upgrading the Express Entry system and implementing the Global Skills Strategy.
Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development: $174.7 million
Funding for Operation Return Home: Manitoba Interlake Flood Remediation and Settlement
Operation Return Home is a project involving Canada, Manitoba and four Manitoba First Nations communities affected by catastrophic flooding in 2011. The project’s goals are to repair, rebuild and re-establish the four communities, and negotiate final settlement agreements among Canada, Manitoba, and the four First Nations.
Department of Fisheries and Oceans: $166.7 million
Funding to maintain mission-critical services to Canadians
This funding will support maintenance of the fleet, navigational aids, and communication towers, as well as training and equipment for Coast Guard personnel, upgrades to information networks and radio infrastructure, monitoring of fish stocks and icebreaking operations.
Canada Border Services Agency: $162.8 million
Funding to 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.
