Table 11: Canadian Firearms Program: Federal Government Costs and Anticipated Planned Spending Requirements |
|||||
|
In response to Recommendation 4.27 of the May 2006 Auditor General Report on the Canadian Firearms Program, direct and indirect costs are defined as follows:
Direct Costs: represent those reimbursed by CAFC to its partners for services/activities provided in support of the Program and agreed upon through a Memorandum of Agreement.
Indirect Costs: certain costs of the Canadian Firearms Program incurred by federal partners that are not reimbursed by CAFC (see Auditor General Report – Definitions). Indirect costs can be sub-divided into two categories: those costs incurred and not reimbursed by the Centre. An example would be collective bargaining salary increases that are passed on to departments by Treasury Board or, overhead costs for ministerial or infrastructure support. Secondly, indirect costs can be those that are received without charge such as accommodation and employee benefits to, for example, the Public Service Dental Plan. |
