SECTION IV: HUMAN AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES TABLES ON SELECTED PORTFOLIO ORGANIZATIONS

Table 1: Reserve Force

Primary Reserve Planned Expenditures

Primary Reserve Full Cost Estimate
The Primary Reserve accounts for 6.5% of the total Defence Services Program. The costs are divided into four categories: direct, indirect, attributed and capital costs. This method of reporting is intended to provide greater clarity on the makeup of the total costs of the Primary Reserve.

Direct expenditures include funds specifically budgeted for the Primary Reserve such as pay, travel and goods and services which are locally procured.

Indirect expenditures reflect the Primary Reserve share of departmental resources, which are controlled centrally. Included are ammunition, equipment operating costs, clothing and the cost of maintaining facilities such as armouries.

Attributed expenditures are departmental overhead costs, which are allocated, for reporting purposes, to all activities including the Primary Reserves. In reality, these costs do not vary directly as a function of activity and would largely be incurred whether the Primary Reserve existed or not.

Capital expenditures are shown for the year in which payments have been made, and do not reflect an amortization of cost over the life of the asset. The capital expenditures can vary significantly from one year to the next, depending on priorities established within the capital equipment plan and the cash flow requirements of individual projects.

*Due to rounding, figures may not add up to totals shown.

Notes:

  1. Direct pay and operating amounts do not reflect forecasted/planned spending involving members of the Canadian Rangers, the Cadet Instructors Cadre or the Supplementary Reserve sub-components. They do however include the cost of employing Primary Reservists in positions that would normally be occupied by the Regular Force.
  2. The decrease in Reserve Pay is explained by in-year pressures for support to deployed operations and by recurring spending not yet reflected permanently in the planned spending.
  3. Forecast spending for 2007-2008 includes an up-front basic rent payment of $12M for the relocation of the Toronto Scottish Regiment.
  4. The increase in Dedicated Capital is explained by the funding allocated to three infrastructure projects which are the overhaul of the Base Transportation facility in Chilliwack, the construction of an armoury to house the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa and the consolidation of the area support unit in London.
  5. The increase in Shared Capital is explained by the delivery of Clothe the Soldier project such as Temperate Combat Boots, Rucksacks, Vehicle Crew Helmet and Rain Suits.

Notes:

  1. The forecasted spending in Salary and Personnel for 2007-2008 includes an amount of approximately $8M for Market Allowances (i.e. retention pay for Computer Science and Engineering staff). It also includes $4M for salary pressures and SDOA (Support to Deployed Operations Account).
  2. Fluctuations for O&M and Capital are due to funding requirements for the approved mid-term Accommodations Project.

*Due to rounding figures may not add up to totals shown.

Notes:

  1. The difference in Salary and Personnel between 2007-2008 and the future years is partially due to Terminable Allowances (i.e. retention pay) for Defence Scientists of $5.5M. The remaining difference is due to pay increments and higher permanent staffing not included in planned spending, as a result of increased research and development activities.
  2. The variation between 2007-2008 and the planned years is explained by an in-year funding of $1.5M for radiological decontamination and $3.5M for infrastructure maintenance.
  3. The above figures include a re-profiling of $20M as follows: $8M to 2008-2009, $10M to 2010-2011, and $2M to 2011-2012.
  4. An in-year funding of $12.3M was allocated in 2007-2008 for procurement of equipment.

* Due to rounding, figures may not add up to totals shown.

Notes: 

  1. The difference between 2007-2008 and future years, is due to a project aimed at informing users of a new beacon frequency, which will help in Search and Rescue activities.
  2. Approximately $4M in Vote 5 funding is available to other government departments and to other National Defence organizations annually for Search and Rescue related projects. The above figures are net of the following transfers: $2,781K for 2007-2008, $1,832K for 2008-2009 and $493K for 2009-2010. The increase in funding in 2010-2011 is due to termination of the Search and Rescue New Initiatives Funds (SAR NIF) contribution program, therefore once the program is renewed, $4M from Vote 5 will be reallocated to Vote 10.
  3. Vote 10 includes $190K contribution as Canada's share of the costs for the "Cosmicheskaya Sistyema Poiska Avariynich Sudov"-"Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking" COSPAS-SARSAT Secretariat and $4M for contributions in support of Search and Rescue New Initiatives Fund (SAR NIF) up to 2009-2010. Program renewal for a minimum of 5 years will be sought for continuous funding resuming in 2010-2011.

Notes:

  1. FTE figures for the Canadian Coast Guard were not available because CCG operations involve multi-tasking.
  2. The RCMP is unable to provide exact costs as it relates to personnel requirements due to the fact that personnel are tasked with a wide variety of duties, one of which is SAR. The SAR expenditures nationally would be substantial.
  3. TC has no mandate for primary SAR response and does not identify or dedicate resources to these activities. The level of personnel commitment to SAR prevention work is represented in the table above.

Notes:

  1. Changes due to transfers to other government departments and to other Department of National Defence organizations for implementation of SAR NIF projects. This includes transfers of $2,781K for FY 2007-2008, $1,832K for FY 2008-2009, $493K for FY 2009-2010 and none for FY 2010-2011.
  2. As the resource allocations for SAR are provided under provincial auspices, no figures are available for RCMP federal SAR activity. RCMP supports other departments with multi-tasked assets when required.
  3. TC has no mandate for primary SAR response and does not identify or dedicate resources to these activities. The level of financial commitment to SAR prevention work is indicated in the table above.
