Changes in 2009-10 Main Estimates

The purpose of this section is to provide a reconciliation of the 2009-10 Main Estimates with the 2008-09 Main Estimates in the following four areas:

• Changes to presentation;

• Changes to government organization and structure;

• Changes in authorities (Votes and Statutory items); and

• Changes to program activity architectures (strategic outcomes and program activity descriptions).

Changes to Presentation

Program activities in the “Program by Activities” table are displayed in descending order using the 2009-10 Main Estimates “Total” column.

Departments and agencies, but not Crown corporations, now display a standard Internal Services activity which states “Internal Services are groups of related activities and resources that are administered to support the needs of programs and other corporate obligations of an organization. These groups are: Management and Oversight Services; Communications Services; Legal Services; Human Resources Management Services; Financial Management Services; Information Management Services; Information Technology Services; Real Property Services; Materiel Services; Acquisition Services; and Travel and Other Administrative Services. Internal Services include only those activities and resources that apply across an organization and not to those provided specifically to a program.”.

Transfer payments are presented by their total value. They are also presented in Part III of the Estimates for information purposes.

Changes to Government Organization and Structure

Following the tabling of the 2008-09 Main Estimates on February 27, 2007, the following structure changes were made through Supplementary Estimates (A), 2008-09:
