Part III of the Estimates consists of two documents: Departmental Plans (DPs) and Departmental Results Reports (DRRs). Departmental Plans are forward-looking documents that provide plans for each department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). Departmental Results Reports are individual department and agency accounts of actual accomplishments against plans, priorities and results set out in their respective Departmental Plans. In the 2017-18 fiscal year, a new reporting format consisting of a Departmental Results Framework and Program Inventory was adopted by the following 8 organizations, per the TBS Policy on Results.

This data includes details on Budget measures and shows how Treasury Board is allocating funds to departments for specific budget measures, and which programs are being funded to deliver each Budget measure.

Please refer to GC InfoBase - Open Datasets for a list of all datasets associated with GC InfoBase.

Departmental Results Reports (DRRs) – previously named Departmental Performance Reports (DPR) – are individual department and agency accounts of actual accomplishments against plans, priorities and results set out in their respective Departmental Plans (DPs). DPs and DRRs make up Part III (the Departmental Expenditure Plans) of the Estimates publications.

Through DRRs, individual departments and agencies provide information on how they are progressing toward their strategic goals. DRRs cover the most recently completed fiscal year and are normally tabled in the fall.

Departmental Plans (DPs) – previously named Reports on Plans and Priorities (RPP) – are forward-looking documents that provide plans for each department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). They describe departmental priorities, results and associated resource requirements covering three fiscal years. The first year of this document supplements information contained in the Main Estimates. DPs are tabled in Parliament by the President of the Treasury Board on behalf of the ministers who preside over the appropriation-dependent departments and agencies identified in Schedules I, I.1 and II of the Financial Administration Act, on or before March 31 each year.

The authorities and expenditures data presented in the GC InfoBase principally correspond to two published reports: the Public Accounts of Canada and tabled expenditure authorities (Main Estimates and the Supplementary Estimates). The figures contained in the following datasets generally match those of those of the official reports. Small differences in the aggregate totals may arise due to rounding. In cases where machinery of government changes (such as creating or merging of organizations, or changes to their responsibilities) have occurred, the GC InfoBase datasets may be adjusted to present a more coherent time series.

Departmental Plans are forward-looking documents that provide plans for each department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). Departmental Results Reports are individual department and agency accounts of actual accomplishments against plans, priorities and results set out in their respective Departmental Plans. As per the TBS Policy on Results, a new reporting format—consisting of a Departmental Results Framework and Program Inventory—was adopted in the 2018-19 fiscal year by all organizations.

Following the end of a given fiscal year, final information becomes available on the use of expenditure authorities approved by Parliament and/or Treasury Board. The following tables, based on the Volume II of the Public Accounts of Canada, present a the actual expenditures of organizations that receive appropriations from Parliament. Data are presented by Vote, by Standard Object, by Program and by Transfer Payments. All figures presented reflect information previously published in the Public Accounts of Canada, although totals may not match or agree with those presented in these documents due to rounding.

Supplementary Estimates are part of the normal parliamentary approval process to ensure that previously planned government initiatives receive the necessary funding to move them forward, therefore meeting the needs of Canadians. They present information to Parliament on the Government of Canada’s spending requirements that were not sufficiently developed in time for inclusion in the Main Estimates, and will from time to time include urgent but unforeseen expenditures, such as natural disasters (an ice storm, H1N1, etc.). Supplementary Estimates directly support an appropriation act. Supplementary Estimates are published throughout the year; each release is identified alphabetically (A, B, C, etc.).
