Highlights of these Estimates

In this section

The Supplementary Estimates (A), 2020–21 present a total of $87.0 billion in incremental government spending, including $6.0 billion to be voted and $80.9 billion in forecast statutory expenditures. This unprecedented level of spending is driven mainly by 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 $6.0 billion in new voted spending. The majority of this new spending is for:

  • Emergency responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, including medical research, establishing domestic production capacity for personal protective equipment and support for the Canadian Red Cross;
  • Economic responses to the pandemic, including support for small and medium-sized businesses, food processing facilities and rural businesses;
  • Construction of Joint Support Ships for the Royal Canadian Navy;
  • Settlement agreements related to Indian Day Schools and the Sixties Scoop;
  • First Nations Child and Family Services; and
  • The Disability Insurance Plan for the public service.

Overall, funding requirements for the top 10 organizations account for approximately 76% of the $6.0 billion in voted spending sought through these Estimates. Of those 10 organizations, these 4 are each seeking more than $500 million to support their priorities:

  • Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs ($764.6 million);
  • Department of Indigenous Services ($753.4 million);
  • Department of National Defence ($743.8 million); and
  • Department of Industry ($627.8 million).

These Estimates show, for information purposes, $80.9 billion in planned statutory expenditures. Most of these are authorized by Parts 3 and 8 of the COVID-19 Emergency Response Acts of March 25 and April 20, 2020. The Minister of Finance is committed to report on a bi-weekly basis to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance on the use of these and certain other legislative authorities to support the Government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These Estimates present the best information available to the Secretariat, as of May 29, 2020 for the appropriation-dependent organizations listed in the 2020-21 Main Estimates.

The Public Health Events of National Concern Payments Act, which was enacted in Part 3 of the COVID-19 Emergency Response Act, provides for many of the Government’s key medical response measures and emergency supports, including:

  • Canada Emergency Response Benefit ($60.0 billion);
  • Canada Emergency Student Benefit ($5.3 billion);
  • Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance ($3.0 billion);
  • Additional supports for seniors ($2.5 billion); and
  • Protective gear and medical equipment ($1.8 billion).

Part 8 of the COVID-19 Emergency Response Act amended the Financial Administration Act to provide for payments to a province or territory – or after consulting with a province or territory, an entity – for the purpose of responding to a situation of significant economic and financial distress. These Estimates include almost $2.0 billion in repayable and non-repayable financial support to clean up orphan and inactive oil and gas wells.

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 therefore 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; 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 (A), 2020–21 is the first 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 organization’s Departmental Reporting Framework; and
  • Allocations from Treasury Board Central Votes.

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;
  • Previous Estimates to date refer to amounts reported in the prior Estimates of the current fiscal year, i.e., 2020–21 Main Estimates in this case;
  • 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 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 (A), 2020–21 provides information in support of voted budgetary expenditures in the amount of $6.0 billion for a total of $131.1 billion in 2020–21. This is an increase of 4.8% over the previous estimates to date.

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

Appropriation Acts in 2020–21

Royal Assent for Appropriation Act No. 1, 2020–21, granted on March 13, 2020, provided interim supply to appropriation-dependent organizations to cover requirements for the first three months of the fiscal year.

On April 20, 2020, the House of Commons adopted a motion, which modified Standing Order 81 for the 2020 calendar year such that Parliament will continue to examine the 2020–21 Main Estimates until December 2020.

In June 2020, the President of the Treasury Board will introduce a bill to provide additional interim supply for the 2020–21 Main Estimates and another bill to approve the funding in these Supplementary Estimates (A), 2020–21.

A final bill related to the 2020–21 Main Estimates will be introduced in December, likely with the bill to approve the funding in Supplementary Estimates (B), 2020–21.

Major Items

The following is a list of the major voted initiatives, which are included in these Supplementary Estimates to seek parliamentary approval.

Department of National Defence: $585.8 million
Funding for the Joint Support Ship project

Construction of the two Protecteur-class ships, HMCS Protecteur and HMCS Preserver, began in 2018. These ships will replace the older auxiliary oiler replenishment vessels that have reached the end of their lifespans, and will permit naval vessels to remain at sea for much longer periods of time without returning to port for fuel and other supplies. These new ships will also provide extensive medical, dental and mechanical services, and be capable of supporting cargo delivery where no port facilities exist. Estimated delivery dates for these ships are in 2024-2026.

Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs: $481.2 million
Funding for the Federal Indian Day Schools (McLean) Settlement Agreement

The settlement agreement includes compensation for persons who attended a federally established, funded, controlled and operated Indian Day School during the period from January 1, 1920 until its closure or transfer from Canada’s control. Funding will also be used for legal and administrative fees, as well as healing, wellness, education, language, culture and commemoration projects.

Department of Indigenous Services: $468.2 million
Funding for Child and Family Services

This program funds prevention and protection services to support the safety and well-being of First Nations children and families living on reserve. The Department, in collaboration with provincially delegated agencies, provides programs and services including early intervention and alternatives to traditional institutional care and foster care, such as the placement of children with family members in a community setting.

Department of Industry, Department of Western Economic Diversification, National Research Council of Canada and Public Health Agency of Canada: $405.2 million
Funding for the National Medical Research Strategy (COVID-19)

On April 23, 2020, new funding was announced in support of a national medical research strategy to combat COVID-19. This funding is part of the Government’s medical response to COVID-19, including tracking and testing of COVID-19 cases, developing vaccines and therapies, and enhancing clinical trial and biomanufacturing capacity in Canada. A national genome sequencing effort will help track the virus and contribute to understanding of its different strains and how it makes people ill. Clinical trials for vaccines and therapy will be supported in both the private and not-for-profit sectors. Upgrades to manufacturing capacity will prepare for large-scale production as soon as a vaccine becomes available.

Treasury Board Secretariat: $395.8 million
Funding for the Disability Insurance Plan

The public service group insurance plans and programs include the Disability Insurance Plan, which provides income replacement benefits to unionized employees who have exhausted their sick leave credits and are unable to work for an extended period of time due to a disabling illness or injury. This funding responds to price- and volume-driven cost increases for approximately 250,000 unionized public servants covered under this plan.

Canadian Air Transport Security Authority and Department of Transport: $312.2 million
Funding for aviation security screening services

This funding will help ensure that air travellers and workers at airports are effectively screened, expand the use of full body scanners, and support negotiations on the transition of CATSA to an independent, not-for-profit entity comprised of Canadian aviation industry stakeholders.

Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Department of Industry, Department of Western Economic Diversification and National Research Council of Canada: $274.5 million
Funding for emergency research and innovation response measures (COVID-19)

On March 11, 2020, $275 million was announced for the Research Innovation and Industrial Response Action Plan to enhance Canada’s capacity in research and development, including research on medical countermeasures. This funding will support domestic capacity to develop and manufacture medical countermeasures, including personal protective equipment, treatments, diagnostic testing and vaccines.

VIA Rail Canada Inc.: $264.6 million
Funding for VIA Rail Inc.

VIA provides passenger rail services in all regions of Canada, operating on a 12,500 kilometre network. This funding will address the requirements of the corporation, keeping operations running in a steady state and capital assets in a state of good repair.

Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs: $260.0 million
Funding for the Sixties Scoop settlement

On November 30, 2017, the Government of Canada agreed to a settlement with survivors of the Sixties Scoop. The settlement provides compensation to Status Indian and Inuit persons who were adopted by non-Indigenous families, became Crown wards or who were placed in permanent care settings between January 1, 1951 and December 31, 1991. In total, the agreement provides $500 to $750 million in compensation to survivors, $50 million to the Sixties Scoop Legacy Foundation, $75 million for legal fees to plaintiffs’ counsel, and funding for the administrative costs to implement the agreement. Funding in these Estimates will support the continued implementation of the agreement.

Department of Indigenous Services: $232.0 million
Funding for health, social and education services and support for First Nations children under Jordan’s Principle

This funding will be used to respond to a wide range of health, social and educational needs under Jordan’s Principle, which makes sure all First Nations children living in Canada can access the products, services and supports they need, when they need them.
