¹ Normally the Adjustments column for the forecast period includes Supplementary Estimates (A) and (B). As Parliament was dissolved for a general election, Governor General Warrants were sought to finance Treasury Board approved items that would ordinarily be funded through Supplementary Estimates.

³ 2005-2006 forecast spending represents the actual expenditures for the year. The increase between Forecast/Actual Spending for 2005-2006 and Total Planned Spending for 2006-2007 is a result of the following: items that affect 2005-2006 only, such as a one time grant to the Terry Fox Foundation and adjustments to the Employee Benefit Plan; and Savings/Surplus identified in the operation; items sunsetting in 2005-2006 such as the Centre of Excellence for Children's Well Being; and incremental and new funding for existing initiatives in 2006-2007, such as the Federal Initiative to Address HIV/AIDS in Canada, Avian and Pandemic Influenza Preparedness, Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control, Stregthening Canada's Public Health System - Public Health and funding to launch an integrated public health strategy to reduce the impact of chronic disease by promoting healthy living.

The increase in Total Planned Spending from 2006-2007 to 2007-2008 is a result of the following: incremental funding for existing initiatives in 2007-2008 such as the Federal Initiative to Address HIV/AIDS in Canada, Strengthening Canada's Public Health System - Public Health; Avian and Pandemic Influenza Preparedness; incremental funding for and new funding for 2010 Olympic Vancouver - Security funding to launch an integrated public health strategy to reduce the impact of chronic disease by promoting healthy living.

The decrease in Total Planned Spending from 2007-2008 to 2008-2009 is a result of the following: incremental funding for existing initiatives in 2008-2009 such as the Federal Initiative to Address HIV/AIDS in Canada, Strengthening Canada's Public Health System - Public Health; 2010 Olympic Vancouver - Security, reduction of funding in Avian and Pandemic Influenza Preparedness, and funding to launch an integrated public health strategy to reduce the impact of chronic disease by promoting healthy living.
