Footnotes
- Footnote 1
-
The reduction in forecast/planned spending over the planning period (from $4.348 billion in 2014-2015 to $3.724 billion in 2017-2018) is primarily attributable to:
a) certain technical adjustments that are reflected only in 2014-2015 including: a carry-forward from 2013-2014, funding for the one-time transition payment resulting from the Government's move to pay in arrears, and funding for maternity and severance benefits;
b) the conclusion of funding received for special projects and the softwood lumber administration costs as well as adjustments for accommodation and real property services, the Canada School of Public Service, and funding for the Government advertising program; and
c) the implementation of initiatives to improve efficiency.
