[1] The following are the major items contributing to increases in this program activity when compared to fiscal year 2008-09. In 2009-10: $150 million for the ecoENERGY Retrofit for Homes Program (Budget 2009: Canada's Economic Action Plan) and $73 million for ecoENERGY for Biofuels. In 2010-11: $150 million for the ecoENERGY Retrofit for Homes Program (Budget 2009: Canada's Economic Action Plan); $104.6 million for the Clean Energy Agenda; $139.8 million for ecoENERGY for Biofuels and $20.0 million for Sustainable Development Technology Canada. In 2011-12: $144.1 million for the Clean Energy Agenda.

[2] Reduction in this program activity in 2011-12, when compared to fiscal year 2008-09, is attributed to the sunsetting of the Nuclear Legacy Liabilities funding in the amount of $119.7 million.

[3] Major items contributing to the reduction in 2010-11 and 2011-12, when compared to fiscal year 2008-09, are the Implementation of the Adaptation Theme in Support of Canada's Clean Air Agenda ($14.2 million), the Federal Response to the Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative ($9.9 million) and the Forestry Long-Term Competitiveness Strategy ($4.2 million).

[4] Reduction in 2011-12, when compared to fiscal year 2008-09, is mainly due to sunsetting of the Limits of the Continental Shelf initiative ($15.3 million) and Investing in Offshore Development ($5.0 million).

[5] All costs associated with this program activity are fully recovered.

[6] Statutory programs under the Economic Opportunities for Natural Resources program activity – NRCan makes various statutory payments to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador through its responsibility for offshore energy resources. The Atlantic Offshore Accords provide that the benefits of revenues from the offshore should flow to provinces as if the resources were on land. These payments include those to the Newfoundland Offshore Petroleum Resource Revenue Fund; the Nova Scotia Offshore Revenue Account; fiscal equalization offset payments to Newfoundland (provide for compensation for part of the reduction in entitlements resulting from offshore revenues); the Canada-Newfoundland Offshore Petroleum Board; and the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board (federal and provincial governments each fund half the offshore boards budgets); and the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Development Fund (supports projects in Nova Scotia associated with the development of the offshore oil and gas industry, and is authorized to incur expenditures up to $200 million).

[7] Planned spending includes adjustments for Supplementary Estimates Appropriated, Supplementary Estimates Statutory, and new items and announcements identified in Budget 2009: Canada's Economic Action Plan, and other adjustments identified by Treasury Board.

[8] Strategic Outcome #1 Economic Competitiveness; #2 Environmental Responsibility; #3 Safety, Security and Stewardship.

[9] The net change for Vote 1 is a reduction of $62.6 million. This change consistsis of increased funding for Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals ($21.5 million) and decreased funding for the clean-up of the Port Hope area ($27.6 million), the Forest Industry Long-term Competitiveness Strategy ($8.9 million), the Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative ($8.6 million), CANMET relocation ($7.6 million), Nuclear Legacy Liabilities ($7.4 million) and the Clean Energy Agenda ($7.2 million).

[10] The net change for Vote 5 is an increase of $19.1 million. This reflects increased funding for ecoENERGY for Biofuels ($73.0 million) offset by decreased funding for the Forest Industry Long-term Competitiveness Strategy ($30.6 million) and the Federal Response to the Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative ($21.6 million).

[11] The increase of $20 million reflects funding approved to allow the foundation to make payments to eligible recipients.

[12] The resources for this program activity include $4.5 million per year for the horizontal initiative "Improving the Performance of the Regulatory System for Major Natural Resources Projects". The department is in the process of relocating this initiative under program activity 3.2: Natural Resource and Landmass Knowledge and Systems.

[13] This plan will be available at http://www.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/com/resoress/pubpub-eng.php after June 30, 2009.
