[Footnotes]

1 Programs involving two or more federal granting agencies: NSERC, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Canada Foundation for Innovation, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

2 The CREATE program expenditures were misclassified under Program Activity 1.1 instead of Program Activity 1.2. For this reason, the Actual Spending figure for PA 1.1 in 2010-11 reported here is higher than the figure in the Main Estimates, Planned Spending and Total Authorities for 2010-11, and the Actual spending figure for PA 1.2 appears under spent. This classification error will be addressed and corrected in future reporting. In 2010-11, program expenditures in the CREATE program were $6.27 million.

3 In 2010-11 Actual Spending in Program Activity 1.3 was lower than the Planned Spending and Total Authorities figures as a result of an under spend in the Canada Research Chairs program that year.

4 Actual Spending for Program Activity 2.1 in 2010-11 includes unplanned spending occurring in 2010-11.

5 Actual Spending in 2010-11 for Program Activity 2.2 is higher than the Total Authorities and Planned Spending because unspent funds from other programs were transferred to the Research Equipment budget within this PA.

6 Demand for University-Industry-Government programs under Program Activity 3.2 was higher than expected in 2010-11. In order to accommodate the larger demand for these programs, funding which had initially been planned for Program Activity 3.1 was re-allocated to Program Activity 3.2. Therefore, actual spending for Program Activity 3.2 was higher than the Planned Spending and Total Authorities for that PA; whereas Actual Spending for Program Activity 3.1 appears under spent. This reallocation was unplanned and therefore did not appear in the corresponding Report on Plans and Priorities 2010-11.
