Summary of Performance


2011–12 Financial Resources ($ thousands)
Planned Spending Total Authorities See 2011–12 Financial Resources note * Actual Spending See 2011–12 Financial Resources note *

* Excludes amount deemed appropriated to Shared Services Canada.

2,734,649 4,088,738 2,504,508

Most of the variance between planned spending and total authorities, and total authorities and actual spending, can be attributed to the requirement to report the central government-wide funds of $1.4 billion in total authorities (Votes 5, 10, 25, 30 and 33) See footnote [3], which are redistributed to other departments and agencies (i.e., not spent by the Secretariat, but by other departments). These funds remained unallocated at year-end under total authorities. The bulk of the remaining variance of approximately $230.1 million between planned and actual spending is largely due to a lapse in public service employer payments of $259 million offset by increased authorities of $29.2 million in Vote 1 operating expenditures.


2011–12 Human Resources (full-time equivalents – FTEs)
Planned Actual Difference
2,216 2,121 -95

Actual FTEs were fewer than planned largely due to the transfer of employees to Shared Services Canada and the implementation of the 2010 Strategic Review.
