For 2014-15 and 2015-16, the figures represent the actual expenditures as reported in the Public Accounts while 2016-17 represents the forecasted expenditures to year end. From 2014-15 to 2016-17, NRCan expenditures drop significantly, mainly as a result of reduced payments under the Statutory Atlantic Offshore Accounts, the transfer of responsibility over the Nuclear Legacy Liabilities Program and Port Hope Area Initiative to Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and reduced spending under ecoENERGY for Biofuels and ecoENERGY Innovation Initiative contribution programs. These reductions were slightly offset by the implementation of the Federal Infrastructure Initiative and Budget 2016 initiatives.

The increase between 2016-17 Forecasted spending and 2017-18 Planned spending is mainly attributed to a projected increase for the Statutory Atlantic Offshore Accounts and the implementation of the Budget 2016 initiatives. These increases were slightly offset by the transfer of responsibility over Sustainable Development Technology Canada, reduced funding profiles for United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Federal Infrastructure Initiative and Earthquake Monitoring and, the sunsetting of Soldier Settlement and ecoENERGY for Biofuels.

For 2017-18 to 2019-20, the figures represent total planned spending, reflecting funding to support NRCan program activities. Planned spending in Voted authorities is declining, mainly as a result of reduced funding profile for major initiatives (e.g., ecoENERGY for Renewable Power), and sunsetting programs, including the following major initiatives:

Sunsetting in 2017-18:

  • Clean Growth and Climate Change;
  • Federal Infrastructure Initiative;
  • Green Infrastructure;
  • Forest Innovation Program and Expanding Market Opportunities; and,
  • Investments in Forest Industry Transformation.

Sunsetting in 2018-19:

  • World Class Tanker Safety;
  • Interim Strategy – Environmental Assessment Review; and,
  • Enhancing Aboriginal Participation in West Coast Energy Development.

Planned spending in Statutory authorities is increasing, mainly as a result of the Atlantic Offshore Accounts. Statutory payment obligations under these accords are largely driven by oil and gas prices, production levels and anticipated corporate income taxes related to offshore operations. The increase is based on the Department's economic modeling forecasts prepared in the fall of 2016.

Anticipated renewals are included in the graph to give a more reasonable picture of the future of the Department but are subject to government’s decisions to extend, reduce or enhance funding. Outcomes of such decisions will be reflected in the Department’s future budget exercises and Estimates documents.

For 2014-15 and 2015-16, the figures represent the FTEs as reported in the Departmental Results Report while 2016-17 represents the forecasted FTEs to year end. NRCan’s total FTE count remains relatively steady from 2014-15 to 2016-17.

For 2016-17 to 2019-20, the figures represent planned FTEs to support NRCan program activities. The decrease between 2016-17 and 2019-20 is mainly explained by the sunsetting of a number of major initiatives.

Furthermore, as new initiatives are undertaken, plans for future FTE requirements will be adjusted accordingly.

Consolidated Future-Oriented Condensed Statement of Operations

The Consolidated Future-Oriented Condensed Statement of Operations provides a general overview of NRCan’s operations. The forecast of financial information on expenses and revenues is prepared on an accrual accounting basis to strengthen accountability and to improve transparency and financial management.

Because the Consolidated Future-Oriented Condensed Statement of Operations is prepared on an accrual accounting basis, and the forecast and planned spending amounts presented in other sections of the Departmental Plan are prepared on an expenditure basis, amounts may differ.

A more detailed Consolidated Future-Oriented Statement of Operations and associated notes, including a reconciliation of the net cost of operations to the requested authorities, are available on the NRCan’s website.

The increase of $94 million in expenses between years is mainly explained by:

  • A $80 million increase in Technology Innovation mainly related to the Budget 2016 Initiatives of $92.2 million, which include the Clean Growth and Climate Change initiative, for the Oil and Gas Clean Technology Program and the Energy Innovation Program, and the Green Infrastructure Initiative, for the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Demonstrations Program and a decrease of $17.3 million as a result of the transfer of responsibility for Sustainable Development Technology Canada to the Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada;
  • A $22 million increase in Innovation for New Products and Processes mainly related to the reprofile from 2016-17 to 2017-18 of $14 million under Investments in Forest Industry Transformation Program; and
  • A $15 million decrease in Landmass Information mainly related to the reduced program funding profile for United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

The charts presenting the distribution by program of NRCan’s total forecast expenses for 2016-17 and planned expenses for 2017-18 on an accrual basis are available on the NRCan’s website.
