Appendix A—Secretariat Centrally Managed Votes Under Program 5: Government-Wide Funds and Public Service Employer Payments

The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (the Secretariat) centrally manages Votes to perform its statutory responsibilities for managing the government's financial, human and materiel resources. Planned spending in the Secretariat's Program 5: Government-Wide Funds and Public Service Employer Payments relates mainly to the following Vote:

Vote 20—Public Service Insurance

This Vote, which supports the Treasury Board's role as employer, is used for the following:

• Public service pension, benefit and insurance plans, including payment of the employer's share of health, income maintenance and life insurance premiums;
• Payments to or in respect of provincial health insurance plans;
• Payment of provincial payroll taxes and Québec sales tax on insurance premiums;
• Costs associated with the pension, benefit and insurance plans for employees engaged locally outside Canada; and
• The return to certain employees of their share of the employment insurance premium reduction.

Other contingency funds are available to other government departments, if required, and expenditures will be identified under their programs. The following Votes are therefore excluded from the Secretariat's planned spending:

Vote 5—Government Contingencies

This Vote serves to supplement other appropriations and to provide for miscellaneous, urgent or unforeseen expenditures not otherwise provided for, including grants and contributions not listed in the Estimates and the increase of the amount of grants listed in these Estimates, where those expenditures are within the legal mandate of a government organization, and authority to re-use any sums allotted and repaid to this appropriation from other appropriations.

Vote 10—Government-Wide Initiatives
