Planned spending

Figure 1: Departmental Spending Trend graph

See long text description of Figure 1.

The Department plans to spend $10.7 billion in payments in 2019-20, through both its infrastructure programs and internal services.

An increase of $5.0 billion in total funding in 2019-20 compared to 2018-19 is primarily attributable to more funding being expended against infrastructure projects that are progressing and/or being completed. Momentum is building as progress is made under all programs administered by Infrastructure Canada, including the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program and the ongoing legacy programs that were launched before 2015.  In addition, the P3 Canada Fund was transferred to the Department and new programs are being rolled out, such as the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund and the Research and Knowledge Initiative. The one time Gas Tax Fund Top up of $2.2 billion in 2019-20 also contributes greatly to the increase in funding. Finally, the Department will be covering the milestone payment for the new Samuel De Champlain Bridge in 2019-20.

While Infrastructure Canada’s overall spending has increased significantly relative to the 2016-17 levels, the budget for its internal services has remained relatively stable.  The spending pictured above includes the internal services budget, which is set to decline in 2021-22 along with the decrease in operating funding under the Investing in Canada plan – Phase II.

Future-Oriented Condensed Statement of Operations

The Future‑Oriented Condensed Statement of Operations provides a general overview of Infrastructure Canada’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. The forecast and planned spending amounts presented in other sections of the Departmental Plan are prepared on an expenditure basis; as a result, amounts may differ.

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

Future-Oriented Condensed Statement of Operations for the year ended March 31, 2020 (dollars)

Financial information	2018–19 Forecast results	2019–20 Planned results	Difference (2019–20 Planned results minus 2018–19 Forecast results)
Total expenses	7,651,089,115	7,530,125,435	(120,963,680)
Total revenues	0	0	0
Net cost of operations before government funding and transfers	7,651,089,115	7,530,125,435	(120,963,680)

As noted in the table above, the forecast results total for 2018 is $ 7.6 billion, and the planned results total is $7.5 billion, which results in a small difference of $0.1 billion between 2018-19 and 2019-20. Forecast results for 2018-19 include a one-time transfer of $2. 2 billion through the federal Gas Tax Fund as per the Budget 2019 announcement. Infrastructure Canada will have an increase in its contribution expenses for 2019-20 planned results for more specifically, new programs such as the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund and P3 Canada Fund obligations. Other drivers for the increase in funding are the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund, Clean Water and Wastewater Fund, Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component – National and Regional Projects, and Investing in Canada Plan – Phase 2.
