BACKGROUNDER
TABLING OF SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES (A), 2013-14
The Main and Supplementary Estimates provide information on the planned spending levels for each federal department and agency. Main Estimates must be tabled by March 1, and are followed by the Supplementary Estimates, which are normally tabled three times a year-in May, late October and late February. The financial information found in the Estimates is presented in support of an Appropriation Bill seeking parliamentary approval for expenditures incurred throughout the year.
Budgetary expenditures include the cost of servicing the public debt; operating and capital expenditures; transfer payments to other levels of government, organizations, or individuals; and payments to Crown corporations.
Non-budgetary expenditures (loans, investments, and advances) are outlays that represent changes in the composition of the financial assets of the Government of Canada.
The Supplementary Estimates (A), 2013-14 provide information on $1.1 billion in voted appropriations for 16 organizations and $8 million in statutory expenditures:
The Main and Supplementary Estimates, as well as Budgets and Updates of Economic and Fiscal Projections, reflect the Government's financial plans and resource allocation priorities at different points in the fiscal year. In combination with the subsequent reporting of financial results and actual expenditures in the Public Accounts and of results achieved in Departmental Performance Reports, Estimates documents help Parliament hold the Government to account for the allocation and management of public funds.
Upon tabling, the Main and Supplementary Estimates are referred to various parliamentary standing committees, and to the Senate Standing Committee on National Finance. In considering Estimates, committees may approve, reduce, or deny a Vote. A committee may not increase a Vote, or transfer funds to another Vote. After review by committees, an appropriation bill is tabled for Parliament's approval.
