Highlights of these Estimates

In this section

The Supplementary Estimates (B), 2020–21 present a total of $79.2 billion in incremental budgetary spending, including $20.9 billion to be voted and $58.3 billion in forecast statutory expenditures. Of these amounts, roughly $15 billion (74%) of the voted requirements and $57 billion (96%) of the additional statutory forecasts 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 $20.9 billion in new voted spending. The majority of this new spending is for:

  • emergency responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, including medical research, vaccine development and purchases of personal protective gear and medical equipment and supplies; and
  • economic responses to the pandemic, including support for small and medium-sized businesses, salary top-ups for essential workers, and funding for provinces and territories to safely restart their economies, bring students back to school, and clean up inactive oil and gas wells.

Overall, funding requirements for the top 10 organizations account for approximately 85.5% of the voted spending sought through these Estimates. Of those 10 organizations, these 8 are each seeking more than $500 million to support their priorities:

  • Public Health Agency of Canada ($9.3 billion);
  • Department of Finance ($3.3 billion);
  • Department of Indigenous Services ($1.0 billion);
  • Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs ($926.4 million);
  • Department of Health ($737.6 million);
  • Department of Public Works and Government Services ($720.8 million);
  • Treasury Board Secretariat ($646.6 million); and
  • Department of Transport ($516.6 million).

These Estimates show, for information purposes, changes in planned statutory expenditures. The increase of $58.3 billion in budgetary statutory expenditures, related mainly to payments authorized by the Public Health Events of National Concern Payments Act and the Financial Administration Act, includes:

  • the Canada Emergency Response Benefit ($28.5 billion);
  • payments to provinces and territories for the Safe Restart Agreement ($12.3 billion);
  • medical research and vaccine development ($3.8 billion); and
  • acquisition of protective gear and medical equipment ($3.3 billion).

Many COVID-19 initiatives present both voted and statutory expenditures. Provisions of the Financial Administration Act which authorized payments to provinces and territories (or organizations named by those jurisdictions) were repealed on September 30, 2020. Under An Act relating to certain measures in response to COVID-19, the Public Health Events of National Concern Payments Act will be repealed on December 31, 2020. Amounts for COVID-19 activities included in the Public Health Events of National Concern Payments Act, for payments to be made after the repeal of the Act on December 31, 2020, are included in these Estimates as voted expenditures.

Non-budgetary statutory expenditures reflect changes in net expenditures related primarily to student loans.

In general, the Estimates focus on the authorities of appropriated organizations to make payments from the Consolidated Revenue Fund. Some of the Government’s COVID-19 response measures are excluded, such as:

  • the Business Credit Availability Program and the Canada Emergency Business Account, through the Business Development Bank of Canada and Export Development Canada;
  • enhanced benefits provided through the Employment Insurance Operating Account;
  • new benefits enacted in through the Canada Recovery Benefits Act; and
  • the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, which is implemented through the tax system under the Income Tax Act.

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 (B), 2020–21 is the second 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;
  • 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 program or purpose in accordance with the organizationʼs Departmental Reporting Framework;
  • Allocations from Treasury Board Central Votes; and
  • A listing of transfers between organizations.

The following terminology is used throughout this document:

  • 2018–19 Expenditures refer to the actual expenditures published in the 2019 Public Accounts (Volume II);
  • 2019–20 Estimates to date include the aggregate of the requirements reported in the Main Estimates, and Supplementary Estimates A and B 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 of votes managed by Treasury Board;
  • These Supplementary Estimates refer to the requirements reported through Supplementary Estimates (B);
  • Proposed Authorities is the sum of all the amounts reported in the Estimates of the current fiscal year, two-year appropriations and allocations from votes managed by Treasury Board;
  • 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 (B), 2020–21 provides information in support of voted budgetary expenditures in the amount of $20.9 billion for a total of $152.8 billion in 2020–21. This is an increase of 15.8% over the authorities to date.
