1998 April Report of the Auditor General of Canada
Exhibit 2.2—Budget Reduction Targets for Selected Departments
(includes Program Review targets and reductions announced prior to Program Review)
Notes:
1 The Main Estimates for HRDC exclude non-discretionary Old Age Security payments and provincial/territorial transfer payments. Funding it receives for administration of Employment Insurance has been included.
2 Since 1994-95 NRCan has faced significant reductions in its Main Estimates due to termination of sunset programs such as forest resource development agreements and the winding down of megaprojects. These add approximately $360 million to NRCan's reductions, bringing its total reduction to about 43% of its 1994-95 Main Estimates.
3 Environment Canada has also faced significant Main Estimate reductions due to sunsetting Green Plan initiatives, adding approximately $60 million to its reduction and bringing its total reductions to 31%.
4 CIDA reduction targets are approximately 80% of the total allocation to the International Assistance Envelope.
