Expenses - Where Funds Go

What appear above to be relatively insignificant sums for most government departments, can be better depicted as percentages of total expenditures.  It is clear that the ERC relies principally on its staff complement.  The second largest budget component attributed to professional and special services represents several small scale contracts for a variety of transactional support services that are normally furnished by full time equivalents in large departments.  However, given the small size of the ERC and its associated transactions in each of these areas, it is not possible to employ public servants to provide these specialized services in an ongoing efficient manner that builds internal capacity.  Additionally, the graph illustrates that the bulk of additional resources has been expended for human resources as intended.
