[1]Planned Spending is the amount included in the Department’s Report on Plans and Priorities for 2000–01 and indicates amounts planned at the beginning of the year.

[2]Total Authorities are Main Estimates plus Supplementary Estimates and other authorities.

[3]Total Authorities of $46,448,287,349 presented in Volume II (I) of the Public Accounts have been adjusted for comparative purposes to take into account the provision for valuation and other items. Actuals reported in this table are total departmental actual expenditures minus the provision for valuation and other items. See Table 3.9 in Volume I of the Public Accounts for more details.

[4]Actuals exceeded Total Authorities in Vote 15 (Transfer Payments to the Territorial Governments) by $3.1 million as a result of an approved change in the method for calculating Territorial Formula Financing made during March 2001, after tabling of the Supplementary Estimates. ($3.1 million was recorded as a liability at the end of March 2001; payment will be made in 2001–02.)

[5]Amounts shown are the cash contribution authorized by Part V of the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act. The following figures show the total federal contribution in respect of the Canada Health and Social Transfer (CHST), including the equalized tax point component of the transfer.

    Cash Transfer $13.5 billion

    Plus: CHST Supplement Trust 2000 (2000 budget) $2.5 billion

    Plus: Medical Equipment Trust (September 11, 2000) $1.0 billion

    Plus: Equalized Tax Transfer $16.0 billion

[2]Actual spending on domestic coinage was greater than planned because of higher-than-forecast demand for coinage and, in particular, for millennium coins. Costs for domestic coinage are more than offset by revenue earned by the Crown.

[3]Total Authorities consist of $1,600.8 million for subscriptions to shares of Petro-Canada Limited, $68.6 million for payments to depositors pursuant to the Financial Institutions Depositors Compensation Act, and $2.0 million for payments to the Canadian Commercial Bank.

[4]Total Authorities of $46,448,287,349 presented in Volume II (I) of the Public Accounts have been adjusted for comparative purposes to take into account the provision for valuation and other items. Actuals reported in this table are total departmental actual expenditures minus the provision for valuation and other items. See Table 3.9 in Volume I of the Public Accounts for more details.

[5]Revenues consist of profits from the Bank of Canada, Exchange Fund and the IMF, as well as interest on short-term deposits, proceeds from sales of domestic coinage and other related revenue items.

[3]Actual spending on domestic coinage was greater than planned because of higher-than-forecast demand for coinage and, in particular, for millennium coins. Costs for domestic coinage are more than offset by revenue earned by the Crown.

[4]To allow for ease of historical comparison, total authorities exclude an amount of $17.7 million for statutory items, primarily for refunds of amounts credited to revenues in previous years. Such statutory items were excluded from prior year calculations.

[5]So that historical comparison is easier, actual Corporate Administration expenditures exclude an amount of $17.6 million for statutory items, primarily for refunds of amounts credited to revenues in previous years. Such statutory items were excluded from prior year calculations.
