¹ Reflects the best forecast of total net planned spending to the end of the fiscal year.

² Does not include the funding that will be requested by the PSLRB to pursue its mandate.

³ Includes new positions to design and implement the new legislative framework, which have been staffed or are scheduled to be staffed on an indeterminate basis, but for which the funding has not yet been guaranteed (PSMA), also includes new positions for the workload issue.

The decrease of $11,306,000 between the 2006-2007 and the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 planned spending is attributed to:

• $5,700,000: temporary funding received for PSMA priorities and to cover the PSLRB's increased costs related to its expanded mandate (this funding sunsets in March 2007);
• $5,165,000: temporary funding received for Compensation Analysis and Research activities (this funding sunsets in March 2007);
• $442,000: temporary funding received for workload pressures for the National Joint Council (NJC) (this funding sunsets in March 2007).

As previously noted, the PSLRB will be seeking additional funding in order to cover PSMA priorities and its expanded mandate which include the Compensation Analysis and Research activities and to address the NJC workload pressures.
