The estimated total expenses for the Privy Council Office for fiscal year 2010-11 is $167,821 thousand. It is anticipated that the total expenses will be spent as follows: $74,316 thousand or 45% of the total expenses for our main program activity. Prime Minister and portfolio ministers support and advice; $16,989 thousand or 10% of the total expenses in support of the activity, Cabinet and Cabinet committees advice and support; $3,592 thousand or 2% of the total expenses in support of the activity, Public service leadership and direction; $110 thousand or less than 1% of the total expense in support of the activity, Commissions of inquiry; and $72,814 thousand or 43% of the total expenses for Internal services.

It should be noted that PCO operates in a highly centralized environment where many costs normally assumed by line managers are covered by corporate services and are not reallocated to the individual program activities (e.g. desktop computers, printers, Blackberries, furniture and equipment, supplies, printing and graphics, messenger services and telecommunications).
