Section III - SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Departmental Link to Government of Canada Outcome Areas

Canada's Performance 2006-07 is the seventh annual report to Parliament on the federal government's contribution to Canada's performance as a nation. Canada's Performance 2006-07 is structured around four main policy areas: economic affairs, social affairs, international affairs, and government affairs. All four of the CGC’s strategic outcomes and program activities align with the key federal policy area of ‘economic affairs’. Within these policy areas are thirteen broad Government of Canada outcomes that form the framework used for the whole of government reporting. Three of the CGC’s strategic outcomes/program activities align with and directly contribute to the pursuit of the Government of Canada outcome area An Innovative and Knowledge-based Economy. These programs contribute to the Government of Canada’s objective in this area of a diverse and technologically advanced economy with workers equipped with a wide range of skills, prepared to succeed in established and emerging industries in every region of the country. The fourth CGC strategic outcome/program activity aligns with and contributes to the pursuit of the Government of Canada outcome area of A Fair and Secure Marketplace. This program contributes to the Government of Canada’s objective in this outcome area of a secure, fair marketplace that maintains and enhances consumer confidence and gives businesses an optimal environment for competitiveness.

¹ Includes CGC Revolving Fund activities.

This table represents the total Revolving Fund and Appropriation for main estimates, planned spending, total authorities, and actual spending.

The difference of $8 239 K between planned spending and total authorities is $7 300 K approved in the 2007 Budget, $154 K supported for Internal Audit, $60 K 2006-07 Operational Budget Carry Forward, $485 K from Treasury Board for severance pay, and $240 K for collective agreements.

The difference between total actuals and total authorities reflects the CGC’s revolving fund surplus of approximately $9.6 M.

The difference between total actuals and planned spending for cost of services received without charge is a result of an overstatement of planned spending for 2007-2008 in the RPP, which should have been $396.

The CGC lapsed funding received in support of Internal Audit due to a delay in hiring.
