Highlights of these Estimates

In this section

The Supplementary Estimates (A), 2021–22 present a total of $41.2 billion in incremental budgetary spending, which reflects $24.0 billion to be voted and a $17.2 billion increase in forecast statutory expenditures. Roughly $11.2 billion (47%) of the voted requirements are for the Government’s response to the public health, social and economic impact on Canadians of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

These Estimates seek parliamentary approval of $24.0 billion in new voted spending. The majority of this new spending is for:

  • emergency responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, including medical research, vaccine acquisition, public health measures in Indigenous communities, border and travel measures, support for long term care, testing, contact tracing, data management and deployment of Mobile Health Units;
  • measures to address homelessness, the lack of affordable housing and food insecurity, all of which have been exacerbated by the pandemic;
  • economic responses to the pandemic, including support for targeted sectors and businesses as well as to promote post-pandemic economic growth;
  • settlement agreements with Indigenous groups, housing and infrastructure in Indigenous communities, child and family services and mental health and wellness support; and
  • early learning and child care.

Overall, funding requirements for the top 10 organizations account for approximately 84% of the voted spending sought through these Estimates. Of those 10 organizations, these 6 are each seeking more than $1 billion (excluding transfers) to support their priorities:

  • Department of Indigenous Services ($5.4 billion);
  • Public Health Agency of Canada ($4.4 billion);
  • Department of Employment and Social Development ($3.4 billion);
  • Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation ($1.8 billion);
  • Department of Industry ($1.0 billion); and
  • Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs ($1.0 billion).

Changes to forecasts of statutory spending, including expenditures pursuant to the proposed Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1 (Bill C-30), are included in these Estimates to provide additional information on departments’ total estimated expenditures. The increase of $17.2 billion in budgetary statutory expenditures is mainly due to the following increases:

  • payments related to the Canada Health Transfer ($4.0 billion);
  • benefits under the Canada Recovery Benefits Act ($3.9 billion);
  • payments to provinces and territories in respect of early learning and child care ($2.6 billion);
  • contributions related to the Canada Community-Building Fund, formerly the Gas Tax Fund ($2.3 billion);
  • one-time payment to Old Age Security pensioners 75 or older ($1.7 billion);
  • Canada Student Grants ($1.1 billion); and
  • payments to the provinces and territories in respect of Canada’s COVID-19 immunization plan ($1.0 billion).

Additional information on statutory authorities for COVID-19 related expenditures is presented on page 1–5 and online.

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 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 (A), 2021–22 is the first of three 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;
  • A comparison of Budget 2021 to planned expenditures in the 2021–22 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.

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

  • Detailed listing of statutory expenditures reported through the Estimates;
  • A complete breakdown of planned expenditures by standard object, such as personnel, professional services and transfer payments;
  • Planned expenditures by purpose in accordance with the organization’s Departmental Reporting Framework;
  • Planned expenditures related to COVID-19 response;
  • Allocations from Treasury Board Central Votes; and
  • A listing of transfers between organizations.

The following terminology is used throughout this document:

  • 2019–20 Expenditures refer to the actual expenditures published in the 2020 Public Accounts (Volume II);
  • 2020–21 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., 2021–22 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;
  • 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 describes appropriations or expenditures for which parliamentary authority is sought through an appropriation bill; and
  • Statutory describes appropriations or expenditures which are authorized by Parliament through legislation other than an appropriation act; forecasts are provided for Parliament’s information.

Summary of Estimates

The Supplementary Estimates (A), 2021–22 provides information in support of voted budgetary expenditures in the amount of $24.0 billion for a total of $165.8 billion in 2021–22. This is an increase of 16.9% over the previous estimates to date.

Estimates to date 2021–22

The 2021–22 Main Estimates were tabled on February 25, 2021, supporting the government’s request to Parliament for authority through annual appropriations to spend $141.9 billion in voted budgetary expenditures and $180.7 million in voted non-budgetary expenditures. The 2021–22 Main Estimates also presented information on statutory amounts of $200.3 billion in budgetary expenditures and $4.3 billion in loans, investments and advances.

The Supplementary Estimates (A), 2021–22 provide information in support of $24.0 billion in voted budgetary expenditures. Information is also presented on increases to statutory expenditures of $17.2 billion in budgetary expenditures and $224.4 million in loans, investments and advances.

Appropriation Acts in 2021–22

Royal Assent for Appropriation Act No. 1, 2021–22, granted on March 30, 2021, provided interim supply to appropriation-dependent organizations to cover requirements for the first three months of the fiscal year.

In June 2021, the President of the Treasury Board will introduce a bill to provide the remaining supply for the 2021–22 Main Estimates and another bill related to the spending requirements presented in these Supplementary Estimates (A), 2021–22.

Statutory Expenditures Related to COVID-19

In addition to the regular yearly appropriation acts, Parliament has passed several pieces of legislation during the pandemic which authorize related expenditures. Supplementary Estimates (A), 2021–22 reflects additional statutory expenditure authority, including from the proposed Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1 (Bill C-30):

  • $1.0 billion in payments to the provinces and territories in respect of Canada’s COVID-19 immunization plan (Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1); and
  • $44.8 million for a one-time payment to persons with disabilities pursuant to An Act respecting further COVID-19 measures.

Comparison of Budget 2021 and Estimates

The following reconciliation is for the purpose of providing greater clarity on the relationship between the figures presented in Budget 2021 and the 2021–22 Estimates and to allow for a more effective comparison and study of how the Estimates cash requirements 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 Federal Budget. Costs related to the Employment Insurance benefits, Children’s benefits and Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy are the largest components of the items excluded from the Estimates.

The Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy and the Canada Child Benefit are legislated through the Income Tax Act and are considered expenditures for government financial reporting purposes. Parliament does not authorize annual spending for these items 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 the Estimates.

Netted revenues

Certain expenditures are funded through departmental revenues. Accrual expenses in the budget are on a ‘gross’ basis, meaning the revenues are included in the accrual-based revenue forecast, while they are netted against expenditures in the Estimates.

Accrual and other adjustments

The Federal 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. This category also includes costs related to consolidated Crown corporations that are funded from their own revenues, a number of other adjustments necessary to forecast expenses on a fully consolidated basis, and 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 2021 spending measures.

Changes to Voted Authorities since the 2021–22 Main Estimates

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

  • The Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs is adding Vote 25 for the forgiveness of a debt related to a perpetual loan to the Stoney Nakoda First Nation; and
  • The Department of Finance is adding Vote L10 to set the maximum amount payable for the purchase of shares of the International Finance Corporation.

Estimates by Organization

123 organizations are represented in the 2021–22 Estimates. Of these, 45 organizations are included in these Supplementary Estimates.
