Other Items of Interest



1 The increase from Planned Spending to Total Authorities is mainly due to an increase in revenues, respendable revenues, operating budget carry forward and compensation for salary adjustments. The difference between Total Authorities and Actual Spending is made up of respendable revenues to be used in fiscal year 2009-10 according to section 18(2) of the Canada School of Public Service Act, operating budget carry forward and an amount set aside for the employee benefit plan.

4 The increase from Planned Spending to Total Authorities is mainly due to an increase in revenues, respendable revenues, operating budget carry forward and compensation for salary adjustments.

5 The increase over this period is due to the growth in course offerings (over 20 percent) and in learner enrolments (over 40 percent) and to the change of official languages courses funded by Treasury Board to courses generating statutory revenue.

6 Indicates expenditures the Department is required to make that do not require an appropriation act.

7 The Total Actual spending can be found in the departmental performance reports for fiscal years 2006-07 and 2007-08 and in the public accounts for fiscal year 2008-09.

8 The actual spending increased due to revenue increase from fiscal year 2007-08 to fiscal year 2008-09.

9 The Canada School of Public Service collects data on learner satisfaction (Level 1 evaluations) for all learning activities. Level 1 evaluations include questions on intent to apply knowledge gained. Ability to apply and actual application are measured at higher levels of evaluation (Level 3 and Program Evaluations), which are only conducted on selected applicable learning activities as per the Evaluation Plan.

10 This is an estimate due to the fact that teachers providing open sessions or informal learning do not always have adequate tools or time to keep an accurate count of attendance. There are plans to implement new tools which will allow for more systematic attendance records in future years.

11 This is based on the calculation of approximately 43,800 hours of instruction divided by 7 hours per day.

12 The increase in FTEs was due to doubling the number of courses offered from 2007-08 and increasing the number of learning days from approximately 13, 500 days to over 22, 000.
