Expenditure Profile

Graph depicting the Commission's Departmental Spending Trends over the last three years in thousands of dollars. It provides the Main Estimates, Planned Spending, Total Authorities and Actual Spending for the years 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11.

The increase of $2.3 million in 2008-09 and $3.0 million in 2009-10 between Main Estimates and Total Authorities is mainly due to temporary funding. One reason was a carry forward of the operating budget of $0.5 million in 2008-09 and of $0.4 millions in 2009-10. A reimbursement of eligible pay list expenditures for severance pay and parental benefits of $0.5 million for each of the two first fiscal years accounts for another variance. The salary increases resulting from the collective bargaining agreements also increased the amounts by $1.3 million in 2008-09 and $0.9 million in 2009-10. Finally, the repeal of section 67 of the CHRA generated an increase of $0.7 million in 2009-10.

For 2010-11, the increase of $1.7 million between Main Estimates and Total Authorities was mainly due to temporary funding received because of a carry forward of the operating budget of $0.8 million, the reimbursement of $0.4 million for eligible pay list expenditures related to severance pay and parental benefits and a $0.2 million salary increase resulting from the signed collective bargaining agreements.

The increase of $1.8 million between 2009-10 and 2010-11 Main Estimates was mainly due to funding of $1 million for the repeal of section 67 of the CHRA and $0.8 million to cover salary increases generated by the signed collective bargaining agreements.
