This Table lists major projects by program activity exceeding the departmental project approval. Environment Canada's delegated authority is $2.5M for general projects, $2M for new technology (with a $5M replacement limit) and $2.5M for real property projects. All of the major projects listed have received Effective Project Approval (EPA). EPA implies Treasury Board's approval of, and expenditure authorization for, the objectives of the project implementation phase. Sponsoring departments and agencies are to submit for EPA only when the scope of the overall project has been defined and when the estimates have been refined to the substantive level.
(1) Delays encountered by the architects during the design phase of the project delayed the start of the construction phase, which is the phase where most of the expenditures are incurred.
GST is included in these actual expenditures.
