The following chart presents the Statement of Operations by showing expenses by category as a percentage of total departmental accrual accounting expenses. Transfer payments represent 74% of the total $675M Department expenses.

[4] The calculation of full-time equivalent (FTE) differs from the actual number of employees in that the former combines part-time employment, term employment, job sharing, etc., to indicate the total aggregate use of the equivalent to a full-time employee. For instance, two-half time employees constitute a single FTE. Figures presented above include Students and Executive Interchange.

[5] The difference of $15.2M between Total Authorities and Actual Spending is due to the following: DFAA ($11.2M) as this funding is provided for specific purposes and the Department is not at liberty to reallocate to other programs, as well as reprofiles of funds to secure the movement of funding from 2010-11 to 2011-12 for the following: Haiti ($1.5M), EM Core ($1.5M) and Urban Transit ($0.7M). Finally, a lapse of $0.3M occurred in the Joint Emergency Preparedness Program.

[6] The 10 critical infrastructure sectors are:

  • Energy & Utilities,
  • Health,
  • Finance,
  • Government,
  • Food,
  • Information & Communication Technology,
  • Transportation,
  • Water,
  • Safety,
  • Manufacturing.

[7] The Crimes Stoppers “Blue Blindfold" Campaign, delivered through a partnership between the Canadian Crime Stoppers Association (CCSA), the RCMP Human Trafficking National Coordination Centre (HTNCC) and Public Safety Canada, will serve to inform the public of the prevalence of human trafficking in Canada and how to identify and report suspicious cases.

[8] The difference of $127M between Total Authorities and Actual Spending is primarily due to lower than projected costs for the G8/G20 Summit in June 2010 ($115.8M). As well, $10.4M was lapsed in the First Nations Policing Program as this amount represents additional funding received which was short-term in nature and partners could not commit their proportionate share, as identified in the Transfer Payment Tables attached to this report. Finally, $0.8M was lapsed in Other Operating Expenditures.

[9] The NOMI was an initiative which focused on developing processes to work collaboratively with communities and other federal, provincial or territorial governments involved in community safety or wellness and reducing the administrative burden associated with federal requirements of the grants and contributions process.

[10] Shiprider is a joint law enforcement initiative with the U.S. and aims to tackle organized criminal activity, such as smuggling, drug crime and gun trade, on shared waters at the Canada-U.S. border.

[11] A bill was introduced in Parliament in November 2009 and again in October 2010. In both instances, the legislative process was terminated when Parliament was either prorogued or dissolved.

[12] The increase in Actual compared to Planned FTEs is mainly attributable to an internal realignment of resources to address critical shortfalls in the Department's Internal Services. In addition to the standard services, Internal Services also provides coordination and support for the Portfolio. Funding received for the implementation of Canada's Cyber Security Strategy and funding to manage immigration cases involving classified information under Division 9 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Security Certificate) also contributed to the increase in FTEs from the initially planned figure.

[13] *Other expenses consist of communication, amortization, equipment rentals, utilities, material and supplies, information and repairs.
