The table reflects forecast and currently planned spending on assets to be capitalized, funded through Vote 5 Capital.

Forecast Spending 2008-2009 reflects the authorized funding levels to the end of the fiscal year 2008-2009 (not necessarily forecast expenditures). Allocations by Program Activity are notional as the PAA Structure for 2009-10 is different than that for 2008-09.

Planned spending reflects funds already brought into the department's reference levels as well as amounts to be authorized through the Estimates process (for the 2009-2010 through to 2011-2012 planning years) as presented in the Annual Reference Level Update. It also includes adjustments in future years for funding approved in the government fiscal plan, but yet to be brought into the Department's reference levels. Planned Spending has not been adjusted to include new information contained in Budget 2009, such as Strategic Review efficiency savings as well as new funding for the AgriFlexibility and Slaughterhouse programs. More information will be provided in the 2009-10 Supplementary Estimates.

The Forecast Spending for 2008-2009 is $54.6 million compared to $34.0 million for 2009-2010, a decrease of $20.6 million. This is mainly attributable to the inclusion of the capital carryforward from 2007-08 into 2008-09. Any amounts not actually spent in 2008-09 will be requested to be carried forward to 2009-10 under the Non-lapsing Capital Appropriations pilot project that AAFC is participating in.

The figures in the above tables have been rounded to the nearest millions of dollars. For this reason, figures that cannot be listed in millions of dollars are shown as 0.0.

Due to rounding, figures may not add to the totals shown.
