Introduction
These Main Estimates are presented in five sections:
- Highlights of these Estimates, including significant changes in 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;
- Detail by Organization on the voted authorities sought through these Estimates, as well as statutory forecasts;
- Annex – Items for inclusion in the Proposed Schedules to the Appropriation Bill.
Alignment with Budget 2019
The 2018–19 Main Estimates included a centrally-managed Budget Implementation vote (TB Vote 40) to capture new Budget 2018 measures. Funding in this vote was tied directly to the Budget Plan, which outlined exactly how much funding was allocated to each measure in each department. Like other centrally-managed votes, access to funds for these Budget measures was subject to approval by the Treasury Board.
In the 2019–20 Main Estimates, this approach has been further refined. Each voted budgetary measure included in table A2.11 in the 2019 Federal Budget will now have a separate vote in the department identified. This new approach will provide parliamentary committees with greater opportunity to examine individual Budget 2019 measures, as well as greater control over the funding related to Budget announcements.
As in 2018–19, the funds will be held centrally until supporting policy and program approvals are in place. Allocations will continue to be regularly posted online and reported in Estimates documents. Also, starting with these Main Estimates, brief descriptions of the Budget 2019 items are now included in the highlights section of each organization receiving funding in 2019–20.
Highlights of these Estimates
These Main Estimates present financial requirements for the full 2019–20 fiscal year, including (not in addition to) amounts already shown in the 2019–20 Interim Estimates.
Voted Expenditures
These Estimates support the government’s request to Parliament for authority to spend through annual appropriations:
- $125.6 billion for budgetary expenditures – operating and capital expenditures; transfer payments to other levels of government, organizations or individuals; and payments to Crown corporations; and
- $57.1 million for non-budgetary expenditures – net outlays and receipts related to loans, investments and advances.
These amounts include voted spending for initiatives announced in Budget 2019, including:
- $883 million to advance reconciliation with Indigenous peoples by settling specific claims;
- $462 million to renew Canada’s Middle East Strategy;
- $404 million to continue implementing Jordan’s Principle;
- $386 million to ensure proper payments for federal public servants; and
- $373 million of predictable capital funding for Public Services and Procurement Canada.
These Estimates also reflect other funding decisions made prior to Budget 2019, including:
- Additional funding to settle outstanding claims, to advance reconciliation, and to improve services and infrastructure in Indigenous communities;
- The ramping up of infrastructure spending under the Investing in Canada Plan and the New Building Canada Fund, as well as for the Gordie Howe International Bridge;
- Increased capital spending for Canadian Coast Guard ships and VIA Rail trains; and
- Increased funding to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect species and habitat.
Statutory Expenditures
Forecasts of statutory spending by departments are included in these Estimates to provide additional information on their total estimated expenditures. Of these forecasts, $174.0 billion is for budgetary expenditures, including the cost of servicing the public debt. This amount does not include benefits paid from the Employment Insurance Operating Account or expenditures legislated through the Income Tax Act (such as the Canada Child Benefit). Net non-budgetary expenditures of $2.1 billion are forecasted for loans, investments and advances.
Significant changes in statutory spending from 2018–19 include:
- Increases in major transfer payments, most notably elderly benefits, fiscal equalization and the Canada Health Transfer;
- A one-time transfer of an additional $2.2 billion through the Gas Tax Fund to address short-term priorities in municipalities and First Nation communities; and
- An increase in interest on unmatured debt.
Starting with these 2019–20 Main Estimates, each organization now includes a listing of all statutory authorities in the detail by organization in Part II.
General Information
Part I of this document, the Government Expenditure Plan, gives an overview of spending requirements for 2019–20 and comparisons to previous fiscal years.
Part II of this document, the Main Estimates, provides information on estimated spending by each federal organization requesting authority to spend through a 2019–20 appropriation bill. Forecasts of statutory spending are included for information purposes.
Part III of the Estimates consists of Departmental Plans and Departmental Results Reports. It is anticipated that the Departmental Plans, which show an organization’s priorities and expected results for the next three years, will be tabled on the same day as these Estimates.
For this exercise, the President of the Treasury Board tables this document in Parliament. In addition to the tabled document, the following information is available online:
- Statutory forecasts and expenditures;
- Budgetary expenditures by standard objects;
- Expenditures by program or purpose (core responsibility);
- Allocations from Treasury Board central votes; and
- Pilot project on a purpose-based vote structure.
The following terminology is used throughout this document:
- 2017–18 Expenditures refer to the actual expenditures published in the 2018 Public Accounts (Volume II);
- 2018–19 Estimates to date include the aggregate of the requirements reported in the Main Estimates and Supplementary Estimates A and B of that 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;
- 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;
- Voted describes appropriations or expenditures for which parliamentary authority is sought through an appropriation bill;
- Statutory describes appropriations or expenditures which are authorized by Parliament through legislation other than an appropriation act. Forecasts are provided for Parliament’s information.

Transfer payments make up approximately 61.7% of expenditures or $185.0 billion. Operating and capital expenditures (including budget implementation votes) account for approximately 30.0% of expenditures or $90.0 billion, while statutory public debt charges are approximately 8.2% of expenditures or $24.7 billion.

The budget forecast covers the complete scope of the Government’s fiscal framework, including revenues, program and tax expenditures, and provision for future obligations such as pension benefits.
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. 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 Employment Insurance benefits and children’s benefits are the largest components of the items excluded from the Estimates.
Other statutory items not included in 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.
Other tax credits and repayments include the Scientific Research and Experimental Development Investment Tax Credit (refundable portion), the Working Income Tax Benefit and tax credits related to film or video production. Additional information may be found in the annual Report on Federal Tax Expenditures.
Most Employment Insurance costs are paid directly out of the Employment Insurance Operating Account, rather than a departmental appropriation, and are therefore not 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.
Beginning in 2019, fuel charges will be collected in provinces or territories which have adopted the federal carbon pollution pricing system or which do not meet the Canada-wide federal standard for reducing carbon pollution. All direct proceeds from the federal carbon pollution pricing system will be returned to the jurisdiction of origin in which they were raised.
Netted revenues
Certain expenditures are funded through departmental revenues. Accrual expenses in the budget are on a ’gross’ basis, so revenues that are netted against expenditures in the Estimates are added back in order to arrive at forecasted accrual expenses.
Accrual and consolidation adjustments
The budget is presented on an accrual basis, whereas the Estimates are presented on a modified cash basis. As a result, certain items will be reported differently between the two publications. Under accrual accounting, the cost to acquire an asset is amortized over the expected life of the asset, whereas under modified cash accounting, the cost is recognized as disbursements are made.
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.
Consolidated specified purpose accounts (with the exception of Employment Insurance), and costs related to consolidated Crown corporations that are funded from their own revenues, are also included in this section.
Other anticipated authorities
This category captures a range of forecasted authorities for measures and mechanisms that have been approved in principle off cycle or in previous budgets, or that have already been authorized under existing legislation, and that are expected to appear in a Supplementary Estimates or the Public Accounts.
Unspent/carried forward
The budget forecast recognizes that some amount of spending included in the Estimates will remain unspent at the end of the fiscal year. These amounts are either carried forward into subsequent years or they lapse.
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.
Estimates by Organization
124 organizations are represented in the 2019–20 Estimates. More information about each organization can be found in Part II – Main Estimates.

Structure of these Estimates
The basic structural units of the Estimates are the votes. The following types of votes appear in the Estimates:
A program expenditures vote is used when there is no requirement for either a separate “capital expenditures” vote or a “grants and contributions” vote because neither equals or exceeds $5 million. In this case, all expenditures are charged to a single vote.
An operating expenditures vote is used when there is also a requirement for either a “capital expenditures” vote or a “grants and contributions” vote or both – that is, when expenditures of either type equal or exceed $5 million. Otherwise, the expenditures are included in the “program expenditures” vote.
A capital expenditures vote is used when the aggregate of capital expenditures equals or exceeds $5 million. Capital expenditures are those made for the acquisition or development of items that are classified as tangible capital assets as defined by government accounting policies, for example: for the acquisition of real property, infrastructure, machinery or equipment, or for purposes of constructing or developing assets, where an organization expects to draw upon its own labour and materials, or employs professional services or other services or goods. Expenditure items in a capital expenditures vote are for items that generally exceed $10,000, although an organization may select a reduced threshold to be applied to different capital classes.
Grants and contributions are payments made for the purpose of furthering program objectives but for which no goods or services are received. A grants and contributions vote is used when grants and/or contributions expenditures equal or exceed $5 million. It should be noted that the inclusion of a grant, contribution or other transfer payment item in the Estimates imposes no requirement to make a payment, nor does it give a prospective recipient any right to the funds. It should also be noted that in the vote wording, the meaning of the word “contributions” is considered to include “other transfer payments".
A non-budgetary vote, identified by the letter “L” preceding the vote number, provides authority for spending in the form of loans or advances to, and investments in, Crown corporations; and loans or advances for specific purposes to other governments, international organizations or persons or corporations in the private sector.
The government must also establish separate votes for each distinct legal entity and to make payments to Crown corporations. Where this is the case, a separate vote structure is established for each. A legal entity for these purposes is defined as a unit of government operating under an act of Parliament and responsible directly to a Minister.
To support the Treasury Board in performing its statutory responsibilities for managing the government’s financial, human and materiel resources, a number of special votes are required. These votes are described under Treasury Board Secretariat in the Proposed Schedules to the Appropriation Bill.
Changes to these Estimates
