Spending Profile

In 2002-2003, 5.2% ($205 million, excluding Relief for Heating Expenses) of the CCRA's overall budget was devoted to our business line, with $70.2 million for program administration and over $134 million for direct transfers under the Children's Special Allowances program. Spending on program administration represents an increase of $16.8 million from 2001-2002. Based on management's best estimate, 89% of the $70.2 million was allocated to facilitation activities (such as ensuring the quality of our payments and notices, updating and adjusting client accounts, and processing forms and applications). The remaining 11% was allocated to assisted compliance activities, such as validation programs.
