General Info Part II - Main Estimates

Part II, known traditionally as the "Blue Book," directly supports the Appropriation Act. It provides a detailed listing of the resources required by individual departments and agencies for the upcoming fiscal year in order to deliver the programs for which they are responsible. This document identifies the spending authorities (votes) and the amounts to be included in subsequent Appropriation Bills that Parliament will be asked to approve to enable the government to proceed with its spending plans.
