The significant increase in Total Assets is primarily attributable to the launch of the Consolidated Borrowing Program in April 2008. Crown corporations will no longer be issuing debt in the capital and money markets, but rather will be borrowing directly from the Government of Canada.

The increase in Total Liabilities is primarily attributable to the increase in Unmatured debt and other financial instruments.

Due to the timing of the transfer, reporting for fiscal year 2008–09 will be undertaken by Environment Canada, and reporting for 2009–10 and forward will be done by the Department of Finance Canada.

[3]. The Department of Finance Canada's actual spending in 2008–09 was $211 billion. This is an increase of $124 billion over 2007–08. The increase results from the government's announcement in Budget 2007 to meet the domestic borrowing needs of Farm Credit Canada, Business Development Bank of Canada, and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) through direct lendingto reduce overall borrowing and improve the liquidity of the government securities market. Before this change, these Crown corporations obtained funding directly through the capital markets under their own name. Spending also included $55 billionto the CMHC's Insured Mortgage Purchase Programas part of the efforts to maintain the availability of longerterm credit in Canada in response to theglobalfinancial and economiccrisis in fall 2008.These expenditures were not included as part of planned spending in the Report on Plans and Priorities.
