* Includes Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) Revolving Fund activities.

This table represents the CGC's planned capital spending over the next three years. The planned capital spending shown above is reflective of approved authorities to date only and not reflective of total capital needs. The Revolving Fund component of capital spending has been reflected as part of Statutory Operating in Main Estimates as Statutory items do not contain a capital vote. It is still the CGC's intent to spend this as capital dollars and therefore it is included in Planned Spending for 2010-2011 and onwards.
