This table identifies all sources of revenue generated, excluding appropriation. Respendable revenues represent funds generated through fees and contracts for services rendered by the Canadian Grain Commission. These revenues are used to offset a portion of the costs of providing these services.

Main Estimates and total authorities represent the authority limit of respendable revenue which is different than planned revenue. Planned revenue reflects respendable revenue based on projected grain volumes of 50 million tonnes.

Actual respendable revenue is based on Public Accounts. These amounts are determined using the modified cash basis of accounting.

Response to Parliamentary Committees
No recommendations were received.
Response to the Auditor General (including to the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development)
No recommendations were received.
External Audits: (Note: These refer to other external audits conducted by the Public Service Commission of Canada or the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages)
An external audit was conducted by the Public Service Commission (PSC) titled "Audit of Canadian Grain Commission". The objectives of the audit were to determine whether the Canadian Grain Commission had an appropriate framework, systems and practices in place to manage its appointment activities and to determine whether appointments and appointment processes complied with the Public Service Employment Act (PSEA), the PSC Appointment Framework, including the appointment policy and the Appointment Delegation and Accountability Instrument signed with the PSC, the policies governing the organization and other governing authorities. The audit examined activities pertaining to the Staffing Management Accountability Framework for the period April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2010. The audit also examined a representative sample of appointments for the period April 1, 2008 to November 30, 2009 to determine compliance with PSEA requirements. The audit made four recommendations. The Canadian Grain Commission accepted the audit findings and developed an action plan to address the issues raised in the audit report. The PSC will monitor the Canadian Grain Commission's follow-up action to the audit recommendations through its regular monitoring activities, including the annual Departmental Staffing Accountability Report.
