Notes:

[1] This forecasted total excludes FTEs related to Do Not Call List (DNCL) activities given that at the time of finalising this report, no funding has been identified for the period after March 31, 2010.

[2] Internal Services are groups of related activities and resources that are administered to support the needs of programs and other corporate obligations of an organization. These groups are: Management and Oversight Services; Communications Services; Legal Services; Human Resources Management Services; Financial Management Services; Information Management Services; Information Technology Services; Real Property Services; Material Services; Acquisition Services; and Travel and Other Administrative Services. Internal Services include those activities and resources that apply across an organization. This reporting of Internal Services is in accordance with the Treasury Board ''Revised Profile of the Government of Canada's Internal Services'' Information Bulletin for all organizations subject to the Management, Resources and Results Structures (MRRS) Policy.

[5] On December 30, 2009, the Prime Minister announced prorogation of the Canadian Parliament. All government bills that had not received Royal Assent—including Bill C-27, Electronic Commerce Protection Act—effectively died on the order paper. At the beginning of the new parliamentary session, announced for March 3, 2010, the government can seek unanimous consent to reinstate a bill at its pre-prorogation stage. At the time this report was finalized, this process had not taken place.

[14] The CRTC is funded through fees recovered from the industries it regulates. The CRTC has been granted vote-netting authority by Treasury Board and Parliament. Vote-netting is a means of funding selected government programs or activities whereby Parliament authorizes a department or agency to apply revenues towards costs directly incurred for specific activities. The Part I broadcasting licence fees and the telecommunications fees are used to finance the CRTC's operating budget.

[15] The CRTC Management Results and Resources Structure incorrectly sets a target of 50% of television content. According to Television Broadcasting Regulations, 1987, Section 4(6), 60% of conventional television content must be Canadian.

[18] The LPIF is administered by a third-party administrator. The LPIF is funded directly through contributions from licensed broadcast distribution undertakings (ie. 1.5% of their basic and non basic revenues derived from broadcasting activities during the previous broadcast year). The costs of the CRTC's activities related to the LPIF are absorbed internally through its existing A-base allocation.
