Total Expenses (97,182) 1,242,491 1,145,309
Total Revenues (3,447) (75,938) (79,385)
Net Cost of Operations (100,629) 1,166,553 1,065,924

Total Departmental expenses are expected to decrease by $100.6 million or 9.5%, from $1,166.5 million in 2011–2012 to $1,065.9 million in 2012–2013. The overall decrease is mainly due to the sunsetting programs, such as the Species at Risk programming and Lake Winnipeg and Lake Simcoe programs of the Action Plan on Clean Water initiative, the transfer to Shared Services Canada, and in-year adjustments. The overall decrease is partially compensated by a transfer of funds from previous years mainly for Sustainable Development Technology Canada and increased funding for Canada's Fast start financing under the Copenhagen Accord.

Equity (55) 136,034 135,979
Total (55,616) 607,098 551,482

The decreases in both assets and liabilities are mainly attributable to the transfer of some assets and liabilities to Shared Services Canada, as well as to accounts payable that are expected to be lower in 2012–2013.
