[10] Special Operating Agency
[11] Offenders are released according to various provisions of the
Corrections and Conditional Release Act. Some offenders are released by law, where as others are released as a result of the
decision making authority of the National Parole Board.
[12] Planned spending includes Main Estimates of $2,174.2M plus adjustments
in the amount of $57.2M supported by Treasury Board.
[13]The Reference Level is the current dollar balance of funding available
to CSC for each year as approved by Treasury Board and/or statutory estimates related to statutes of Canada.
[14] Based on 2008-2009 Main Estimates, Internal Service costs were
reallocated to the Custody, Correctional Intervention and Community Supervision program activities.
[15] Casuals and students are not included
[16] Difference of 12 FTE represents 0.08%: The variance is not significant.
[17] CSC is responsible for preparing eligible offenders for release

[19] Planned spending includes Main Estimates of $2,174.2M plus adjustments
in the amount of $57.2M supported by Treasury Board.
[20] Note that an offender can appear more than once in the conditional
release flow through count. An offender may be released from an institution more than once during a year and thereby will
be counted more than once. In addition, if an offender spent a portion of the year incarcerated and another portion supervised,
the offender will appear in both the institutional and community flowthrough count.

year of the Report on Plans and Priorities or Departmental Performance Report.
[23] CSC has implemented a one-year delay in reporting new convictions

[68] In accordance with Treasury Board guidelines, there are no formal “Expected
Result” or “performance indicators” associated with this Program Activity. CORCAN appears in this year’s
PAA at the Program Activity level because of CSC’s transition from its old PAA to the new one. Employment and employability
is a sub-activity of the Correctional Intervention Program Activity, and has been addressed in a previous section of this DPR.
In future years a separate CORCAN program activity will not be included as a Program Activity level item.
