Spending Profile

In 2002-2003, roughly 18% ($716.6 million) of the total CCRA budget was allocated to the Customs program. This was a significant increase over the previous year's allocation of $602 million owing partially to Public Security and Anti-Terrorism funding in the increased amount of $41.6 million. While in-year spending accounted for expenditures of $660.7 million, commitments in the amount of a further $44 million (which are carried forward to 2003-2004) bring the total expenditures to 98.3% of the final allocation.

Exhibit 7 provides a rough estimate of how Customs resources are allocated across the compliance continuum. The breakdown is only approximate, as a number of our programs encompass activities across multiple regions of the continuum and it is difficult to isolate the share of program resources specifically devoted to each region.
