$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.
