NET COST OF OPERATIONS (.03%) 1.693 1.643

There has been little change in the overall cost of operations for the Commissioner's office from 2008-09 to 2009-10. The drop in the net cost of operations ($50 thousand) is related almost entirely to changes in salaries and professional services costs. Salary costs are down ($166 thousand) owing to a late in the year retirement, employee departure (2), slight delays in recruitment and staffing, and the absence of a Commissioner for 5 months. Professional services costs are up ($120 thousand) as the costs of resourcing the financial and human resource operations are now being fully absorbed by the Commissioner's office.

[1] Commencing in the 2009-10 Estimates cycle, the resources for Program Activity: Internal Service is displayed separately from other program activities; they are no longer distributed among the remaining program activities, as was the case in previous Main Estimates. This has affected the comparability of spending and FTE information by Program Activity between fiscal years.
