The ERC's expenditures are principally on its staff complement. The second largest budget component is for professional and special services made up of several small scale contracts for a variety of transactional support services that in large departments is normally furnished by full time equivalents. 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 temporary additional resources was expended for human resources as intended.
