Estimates by Organization
Horizontal Items

The Supplementary Estimates (C), 2020–21 present a total of $8.0 billion in incremental budgetary spending, which reflects $13.4 billion to be voted, partially offset by a $5.4 billion decrease in forecast statutory expenditures. Roughly $9.9 billion (74%) 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 $13.4 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, public health measures in Indigenous communities, assistance to developing countries, testing, contact tracing, data management and purchases of personal protective gear and medical equipment and supplies;
economic responses to the pandemic, including support for small and medium-sized businesses, regional air services and broadcasters; and
government operations, including compensation adjustments for government personnel, as well as for increased expenditures due to the pandemic.

Overall, funding requirements for the top 10 organizations account for approximately 89% of the voted spending sought through these Estimates. Of those 10 organizations, these 4 are each seeking more than $800 million to support their priorities:

Public Health Agency of Canada ($6.3 billion);
Treasury Board Secretariat ($1.7 billion);
Department of Indigenous Services ($1.6 billion); and
Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development ($895.6 million).

These Estimates show, for information purposes, changes in planned statutory expenditures, including expenditures pursuant to the proposed Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020 (Bill C-14). The decrease of $5.4 billion in budgetary statutory expenditures reflects a number of both increases and decreases in planned expenditures. Major increases include:

the Canada Recovery Benefit ($10.1 billion);
the Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit ($2.9 billion);
a payment to the Canada Infrastructure Bank ($2.3 billion); and
the Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit ($780.0 million).

Decreases of forecast statutory expenditures, either due to revised forecasts in the Fall Economic Statement 2020 or to the repeal of the Public Health Events of National Concern Payments Act, include:

the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (-$11.9 billion);
medical research and vaccine developments (-$2.5 billion);
the Canada Emergency Student Benefit (-$2.2 billion); and
acquisition of protective gear and medical equipment (-$1.7 billion).

Any statutory expenditures expected to take place after the repeal of specific COVID-19 legislation will be charged as voted expenditures, or under other statutory authorities.

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 (C), 2020–21 is the third and final Supplementary Estimates planned for this fiscal year.

For these Supplementary Estimates, 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 Fall Economic Statement 2020 and planned expenditures in the 2020–21 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:

A 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 organization’s Departmental Reporting Framework;
Planned expenditures related to COVID-19 response;
Frozen Allotments in Voted Authorities;
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 (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 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 (C), 2020–21 provides information in support of voted budgetary expenditures in the amount of $13.4 billion for a total of $166.2 billion in 2020–21. This is an increase of 8.7% over the authorities to date.

Note: Authorities To Date and Proposed Authorities include two-year appropriations of $789,157,005 for Canada Border Services Agency, Canada Revenue Agency and Parks Canada Agency. These three agencies have the authority to carry forward funds approved in 2019–20 to 2020–21. The following chart — Supplementary Estimates as part of total Estimates — reflects only 2020–21 Estimates, so it excludes the two-year appropriations.

Estimates to date 2020–21

The 2020–21 Main Estimates were tabled on February 27, 2020, supporting the government’s request to Parliament for authority through annual appropriations to spend $125.1 billion in voted budgetary expenditures and $87.2 million in voted non-budgetary expenditures.

The 2020–21 Main Estimates also presented information on statutory amounts of $179.5 billion in budgetary expenditures and $3.0 billion in loans, investments and advances. The Main Estimates were tabled for a second time on September 30, 2020. Responding to the extraordinary circumstances of Parliament since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the House of Commons passed a motion on April 20, 2020 to temporarily modify Standing Order 81, which resulted in extending the study of the Main Estimates until December 2020. Following the prorogation of Parliament and the opening of a new session, the Main Estimates were re-tabled in the House of Commons for Parliament’s continued consideration of voted spending for 2020-21.

The Supplementary Estimates (A), 2020–21 were tabled on June 2, 2020 and presented information in support of $6.0 billion in voted budgetary expenditures. Information was also presented on increases to statutory expenditures of $80.9 billion in budgetary expenditures and $200 million in loans, investments and advances.

The Supplementary Estimates (B), 2020–21 were tabled on October 22, 2020 and presented information in support of $20.9 billion in voted budgetary expenditures as well as increases in limits to non-budgetary expenditures. Information was also presented on increases to statutory expenditures of $58.3 billion in budgetary expenditures and $1.3 billion in loans, investments and advances.

The Supplementary Estimates (C), 2020–21 provide information in support of $13.4 billion in voted budgetary expenditures. Information is also presented on a net decrease to statutory expenditures of $5.4 billion in budgetary expenditures and an increase of $200 million in loans, investments and advances.

Royal Assent for Appropriation Act No. 3, 2020–21, granted on June 26, 2020, provided supply for the spending requirements presented in Supplementary Estimates (A), 2020–21.

Royal Assent for Appropriation Act No. 4, 2020–21, granted on December 10, 2020, provided the remaining supply for the 2020–21 Main Estimates.

Royal Assent for Appropriation Act No. 5, 2020–21, granted on December 10, 2020, provided supply for the spending requirements presented in Supplementary Estimates (B), 2020–21.

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. Six bills were passed during the first session of the 43rd Parliament: C‑12, C‑13, C‑14, C‑15, C‑16 and C‑20.

An Act to amend the Financial Administration Act (special warrant) (Bill C-12) received Royal Assent on March 13, 2020. The Act amended the Financial Administration Act to permit that a special warrant, authorizing a payment out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund, could be issued while Parliament was in session but not sitting. No special warrants were issued, and that amendment was repealed on June 24, 2020.

The COVID-19 Emergency Response Act (Bill C-13) received Royal Assent on March 25, 2020. This Act provided extensive financial authorities, enacting:

the Canada Emergency Response Benefit Act, which established income support payments to workers who suffer a loss of income related to the pandemic; and
the Public Health Events of National Concern Payments Act, which authorized payments in relation to public health events of national concern. It also provided for the repeal of the Act on September 30, 2020.

The COVID-19 Emergency Response Act, No. 2 (Bill C-14) received Royal Assent on April 11, 2020. The Act introduced an emergency wage subsidy and set a repeal date of September 30, 2020 for some of the changes to the Financial Administration Act enacted by the first COVID-19 Emergency Response Act (Bill C-13).

The Canada Emergency Student Benefit Act (Bill C-15) received Royal Assent on May 1, 2020. The Act established emergency benefits to students who are enrolled in post-secondary educational programs or who have graduated from secondary school and applied for a post-secondary program.

An Act to amend the Canadian Dairy Commission Act (Bill C-16) received Royal Assent on May 1, 2020. The Act increased the maximum amount for loans made to the Commission and for amounts drawn by the Commission from a line of credit.

An Act respecting further COVID-19 measures (Bill C-20) received Royal Assent on July 27, 2020. The Act revised the eligibility criteria for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, extended the Subsidy, and authorized a one-time payment to persons with disabilities.

The following bills were introduced in the second session of the 43rd Parliament.

The COVID-19 Response Measures Act (Bill C-4), received Royal Assent on October 2, 2020. It:

enacted the Canada Recovery Benefits Act to authorize the payment of the Canada Recovery Benefit, the Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit and the Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit; and
amended the Public Health Events of National Concern Payments Act to limit, as of October 1, 2020, the payments under that Act to specified measures, and up to specified amounts. It also postponed the repeal of that Act until December 31, 2020.

An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy and Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy) (Bill C-9) received Royal Assent on November 19, 2020. The Act revised the eligibility criteria, as well as the level of subsidization, of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy. It extended the Subsidy to June 30, 2021. The Act also introduced the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy which provides relief in respect of rent and interest on debt obligations incurred to acquire real property used by businesses, charities and not-for-profit organizations.

The Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020 (Bill C-14) was introduced in the House of Commons on December 2, 2020. If approved, the Act will:

provide additional payments to families with children under the age of six;
waive interest charges on student and apprentice loans from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022;
authorize payments up to a specified amount to regional development agencies for the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund until March 31, 2021;

Comparison of the Fall Economic Statement and Estimates

The following reconciliation is for the purpose of providing greater clarity on the relationship between the figures presented in the Fall Economic Statement 2020 and the 2020–21 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.

Table 3. Comparison of the Fall Economic Statement 2020 and Estimates 2020–21
	2020–21 (billions of dollars)
Authorities to Date 2020–21	479.5
Of which:
Related to COVID-19	159.5
Plus: Items not included in Estimates	147.2
Of which:
Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy	83.5
Employment Insurance benefits	32.2
Canada Child Benefit	27.9
Other Tax Credits and Repayments	3.6
Plus: Vote Netted Revenue	12.6
Plus: Accrual and other adjustments	2.3
Fall Economic Statement 2020 (Projected Total Expenses for 2020-21)	641.6

Items not included in the Estimates

The Fall Economic Statement 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 Fall Economic Statement 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 Fall Economic Statement. Costs related to the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, Children’s benefits and Employment Insurance benefits 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 spending annually 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.

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 Fall Economic Statement 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, as well as a number of other adjustments necessary to forecast expenses on a fully consolidated basis.

Structural Changes and Changes to Voted Authorities since the 2020–21 Main Estimates

The following structural changes have taken effect since the publishing of the 2020–21 Main Estimates:

The President of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada was designated as the appropriate Minister for the Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat for the purposes of the Financial Administration Act (Orders in Council P.C. 2020-640 and 641); and
The Ministers’ Regional Office Program was transferred from the Department of Public Works and Government Services to the Privy Council Office and unexpended appropriations were deemed to be appropriated for that Office (Order in Council P.C. 2020-525).

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

The Correctional Service of Canada is amending Vote 1 to add the authority to expend revenues that it receives from the provision of internal support services;
The Department of Citizenship and Immigration is adding Vote 15 for the forgiveness of a debt and Vote 20 to write off debts related to immigration loans;
The Department of Employment and Social Development is adding Vote 10 to write off debts related to overpayment of government annuities and Vote 15 to write off debts related to student loans;
The Department of Finance is amending Vote 1 to include grants;
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is adding Vote 15 to write off debts related to loans to haddock fishermen and a loan to a producer of frozen groundfish;
The Department of National Defence is adding Vote 20 to write off debts related to a posting loan and a travel advance and Vote 25 for the forgiveness of a debt; and
The Public Health Agency of Canada is amending Vote 10 to allow listed grants to be increased or decreased, subject to the approval of the Treasury Board.

Estimates by Organization

123 organizations are represented in the 2020–21 Estimates. Of these, 58 organizations are included in these Supplementary Estimates: 2 for information only, and 56 for additional Parliamentary consideration.
