Financial Highlights Charts/Graphs

Assets by Types

Assets by Types

Total assets were $580 million at the end of 2009-2010, a decrease of $17.5 million (3 percent) versus last year's total assets. The decrease of the amount due from the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) explains the variance. Accounts receivable and advances, tangible capital assets and other assets are comparable from one year to the other.

The amount due from the CRF is the largest asset component, representing 95 percent of assets.

Liabilities by Type

Liabilities by Type

Total liabilities were $605 million at the end of 2009-2010, a decrease of $22 million (3 percent) versus last year's total liabilities. The decrease is explained by adjustments made following an intensive exercise to correct overestimated accounts payable and also by payables due to the ratification of the PSAC collective agreement recorded in 2008-2009. The variation in rates established by Treasury Board for the calculation of severance benefits explains the decrease in the liability for employee future benefits.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are the largest component of liabilities. Together they represent 93 percent of total liabilities.

FinanExpenses by Type

Expenses by Type

Total expenses were $1,482 million at the end of 2009-2010, an increase of $52.8 million (4 percent) versus last year's total expenses. Transfer payment expenses remain stable taking into account increases and decreases of certain grants and contributions programs mainly due to the Canada's Economic Action Plan and the Strategic Review. The decrease of salaries and employee benefits expenses is explained by a decrease in the number of employees and by the adjustment of the liability for employee future benefits.

Major expense areas include transfer payments (77 percent) and salaries and employee benefits (15 percent).

]Revenues by Type

Revenues by Type

Total revenues were $69.1 million at the end of 2009-2010, an increase of $399,000 (1 percent) versus last year's total revenues.

The revenue from the 1979 Federal-provincial Lottery Agreement, totalling $65 million in 2009-2010, accounted for 94 percent of the revenues. As stipulated in the agreement, the amount received annually is adjusted to reflect inflation.

66 Beginning in the 2009-2010 Estimates cycle, the resources for Internal Services are displayed separately from other program activities. As in the case of the previous Main Estimates, they are no longer distributed among program activities under Strategic Outcomes 1 through 3. This has affected the comparability of spending and FTE information by program activity between fiscal years.
