Notes:

Footnote 1

(1) Spending not covered by planned evaluations is excluded on a risk basis. This means the spending is either recently evaluated; scheduled for an evaluation to be completed in 2027-28 (after the 5-year horizon of the analysis); or deemed to be lower risk and lower priority at this time. Over time and consistent with the TB Policy on Results, AEB intends to cover all departmental spending in its evaluation activity.

(2) For Internal Services programs, in general AEB does not currently track spending coverage information for the program.

Footnote 3

(3) Calculation of total coverage excludes DRF Program 3.05 Statutory Payments (exempt from evaluation). If internal services are also excluded, then the percentage is 76%.
