Allocations from the Treasury Board Central Votes

Vote 5 - Government Contingencies   $126,850,000  
Subject to the approval of the Treasury Board, this Vote serves to supplement other    
appropriations to provide the government with sufficient flexibility to meet urgent or    
unforeseen expenditures where a valid cash requirement exists due to the timing of the    
payment or where specific authority is required to make the payment, such as for the payment    
of grants not listed in the Estimates. This authority to supplement other appropriations is    
provided until parliamentary approval can be obtained and as long as the expenditures are    
within the legal mandate of the organization. Temporary allocations are reimbursed to TB    
Vote 5 upon receiving Royal Assent for an Appropriation Act.

Payment to Nova Scotia in respect of the Crown Share Adjustment Payment regarding   125,400,000  
amounts relating to previous years up to March 31, 2008    
On July 13, 2008, Canada and Nova Scotia signed and publicly announced an agreement to    
implement the recommendations of the Panel on Crown Share Adjustment Payments. Canada    
also committed to negotiate with Nova Scotia to implement the details on the Panel's report    
regarding future year payments. The department required the authority to pay the province at    
that time in order to alleviate the risk surrounding ongoing and delicate negotiations.    


 
Public Service Labour Relations Board    
 
Funding to carry out the Public Service Labour Relations Board's expanded mandate under   1,450,000  
the Public Service Labour Relations Act    
The Public Service Labour Relations Board (PSLRB) is a small organization with an    
appropriation of $6.8 million that only addresses its mandate as it was set out under the former    
Public Service Staff Relations Act . The Board's mandate was expanded by the Public Service    
Labour Relations Act and since 2002-03, it has received incremental funding announced in    
successive federal Budgets. As the existing appropriation for the PSLRB will be exhausted    
prior to receiving incremental spending authority through the Supplementary Estimates, an    
allocation from TB Vote 5 has allowed it to carry out its expanded mandate.    


 
 
  Total allocations   126,850,000  


Vote 10 - Government-Wide Initiatives   $0  
Subject to the approval of the Treasury Board, this Vote supplements other appropriations in    
support of the implementation of strategic management in the public service of Canada.    
Departments and agencies are not required to reimburse funding allocated from Vote 10.    
 
No allocations have been made from TB Vote 10.    
 
Vote 25 - Operating Budget Carry Forward   $1,099,683,843  
Subject to the approval of the Treasury Board, this Vote supplements other appropriations by    
authorizing a carry forward of unused funds from the previous fiscal year up to a maximum of    
five per cent of departments' and agencies' Main Estimates operating budget as was established    
in the previous fiscal year. Departments and agencies are not required to reimburse funding    
allocated from Vote 25.

$1 Items included in these Supplementary Estimates

Through the Supplementary Estimates, an organization can seek changes to various spending authorities originally received through parliamentary approval of the previous Supply bills for Main or Supplementary Estimates. These alterations might include requests for additional funding relating to a transfer of funds from another organization, a re-allocation or amendment of existing spending authorities, or the addition of new authorities.

Parliamentary approval of such changes is sought through an enabling Supply bill. However, in order to be included in a Supply bill, an item must have a monetary value. This is not an issue when a department is also requesting an adjustment to its appropriation. However, in the absence of any increase to the Vote, a notional amount of “$1” allows the item to be included in the Supply bill.

The authority associated with each $1 item relates to either:

1. Approval of grants - The wording used in the Estimates to describe a grant has a legislative character and, therefore all new grants or increases to existing grants must first be approved by Parliament before any payments can be made to eligible recipients. A $1 item is included when there is no requirement for additional appropriations because the new grant or the increase to an existing grant is to be funded from within existing resources or from a transfer of funds from another organization.

2. Vote transfers within an organization - Through Supply legislation, an organization may have received spending authorities in more than one Vote (e.g., operating expenditures Vote and capital expenditures Vote). As the fiscal year progresses, and for various reasons, the organization may need to realign its approved funding due to changes in delivery mechanisms within organizational priorities.

3. Transfers between organizations - Transfers between organizations are used for a variety of reasons such as: to redirect funding from one organization to another in order to manage or to implement more efficiently an initiative or project; and/or to reflect new organizational responsibilities.

4. Modify authority embedded in existing vote wording - The Supplementary Estimates can be used to amend an existing authority that is embedded in the Vote wording of an organization. Most of these authorities can be found in the non-budgetary Vote wording of organizations and are related to limits or ceilings on loans and investments. Such non-budgetary Votes are preceded by the letter “L”.

The following table captures, under each of the above categories, the instances where a $1 item is required in these Supplementary Estimates. A number of these transactions can be captured in a department's Vote wording, but will require a single $1 item. Therefore, as the following table is presented by category, there may be some departmental Votes that appear more than once despite the fact they relate to a single $1 item.
