1 Planned spending to the end of fiscal year 2007–2008 is $57.5 million. Compared with the spending authority of $99.4 million, the anticipated lapse of $41.9 million is attributable to the arming of CBSA officers and to address work-alone situations ($24 million) and other real property projects ($17.9 million).

Forecast spending changes from 2007–2008 to 2008–2009

The planned spending decrease of $6.5 million is primarily related to the following items:

  • a $3.6 million funding reduction attributable to the 2006–2007 carry-forward into fiscal year 2007–2008;
  • $15.0 million sunsetting funding related to the construction of a new border facility in St. Stephen, New Brunswick;
  • a $7.0 million funding reduction as a result of a transfer between Vote 10 – Operating Expenditures to Vote 15 – Capital Expenditures;
  • a $5.4 million funding reduction for the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative;
  • $2.5 million sunsetting funding for the Revenue Ledger initiatives; and
  • $27.2 million of increased funding for the arming of CBSA officers and to address work-alone situations.

Planned spending changes from 2008–2009 to 2009–2010

The planned spending decrease of $27.4 million is mostly related to the sunsetting of capital funding for the arming of CBSA officers and to address work-alone situations.
