Highlights of these Estimates

In this section

The Supplementary Estimates (A), 2018-19 seek parliamentary approval of $7.5 billion in new voted spending. The majority of this new spending is for:

  • Investments in federal infrastructure including the procurement of 3 icebreakers for the Canadian Coast Guard, payments related to the Gordie Howe Bridge and the New Champlain Bridge Corridor projects, and health and social facilities in Indigenous communities;
  • Implementation of settlement agreements for special claims under the Williams Treaties and an agricultural benefits specific claim under Treaty 8;
  • Health, social and education services and support for First Nations children under Jordan’s Principle;
  • Increases to wages and benefits for newly concluded collective bargaining agreements for the public administration; and
  • Defence investments including military equipment, information technology upgrades, and construction and modernization projects at the Carling Campus in Ottawa.

Overall, funding requirements for the top 10 organizations account for 86% of the $7.5 billion in voted spending sought through these Estimates. Of these organizations, these 8 are each seeking more than $200 million to support their priorities:

  • Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development ($1.7 billion);
  • Department of Indigenous Services Canada ($1.2 billion);
  • Department of Fisheries and Oceans ($978.2 million);
  • Treasury Board Secretariat ($815.5 million);
  • Office of Infrastructure of Canada ($548.2 million);
  • Department of National Defence ($393.5 million);
  • Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development ($316.6 million); and
  • Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority ($283.6 million).

Planned expenditures shown in Table A2.11 of the 2018 Federal Budget are funded through allocations from the Treasury Board central vote for Budget Implementation. Those allocations are reported online and updated on a monthly basis.

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 (Interim, 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), 2018–19 is the first of two 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 legislated amounts 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 organizations’ Program Alignment Architecture or Departmental Reporting Framework;
  • Allocations from Treasury Board Central Votes (including the 2018–19 Budget Implementation vote);
  • A listing of transfers between organizations; and
  • A graphical summary of financial highlights.

The following terminology is used throughout this document:

  • 2016–17 Expenditures refer to the actual expenditures published in the 2017 Public Accounts;
  • 2017–18 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;
  • Authorities to date are comprised of amounts reported in the prior Estimates of the current fiscal year, two-year appropriations and allocations from Treasury Board Central Votes;
  • 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, two-year appropriations and allocations from Treasury Board Central Votes;
  • 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 appropriations are those for which parliamentary authority is sought through an appropriation bill; and
  • Statutory expenditures are those authorized by Parliament through enabling legislation and for which forecasts are provided for Parliament’s information.
