The Department plans to spend $6.8 billion in 2021-22 through its core responsibilities and Internal Services.

An increase of $1.6 billion in total planned spending in 2021-22 compared to 2021-22 is mainly due to an increase in the Gas Tax Fund allocated to the Department in 2021-22, an increase in funding for legacy programs, attributable to the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component - National and Regional Projects program, as projects ramp up, and an increase in the Investing in Canada Plan as projects continue to be approved.

The department has secured ongoing funding to maintain its operations and continue to effectively deliver its mandate to help Canadians benefit from world class, modern public infrastructure. This includes time-limited funding for over three years to continue to support the Rural Economic Development portfolio and over five years to support Major Bridges (Gordie Howe International Bridge project and Samuel De Champlain Bridge Corridor project).

While Infrastructure Canada’s overall spending has decreased significantly relative to 2019-20 levels, the budget for its internal services has remained relatively stable. With the introduction of the new Departmental Results Framework starting 2021-22, however, the internal services budget has decreased, better aligning spending with its core responsibilities, especially in terms of policy development.

Infrastructure Canada’s full-time equivalents have grown steadily over the past few years as the organization has experienced wide-ranging additions to its mandate as well as growth in the volume and complexity of its programs and projects.

In the fall of 2020, Infrastructure Canada completely revitalized its Departmental Results Framework. As such, entirely different core responsibilities exist for 2021-22 onwards. This new architecture does not apply to fiscal years: 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2021-22. Planned expenditures and forecasted spending can be accessed in the Main Estimates for these fiscal years.

Planned human resources

The following table shows actual, forecast and planned full-time equivalents (FTEs) for each core responsibility in Infrastructure Canada’s departmental results framework and Internal Services for the years relevant to the current planning year.

Estimates by vote

Future-oriented Condensed statement of operations

The future‑oriented condensed statement of operations provides an overview of Infrastructure Canada’s operations for 2020–21 to 2021–22.

The amounts for forecast and planned results in this statement of operations were prepared on an accrual basis. The amounts for forecast and planned spending presented in other sections of the Departmental Plan were prepared on an expenditure basis. Amounts may therefore 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.^{Endnote xi}

Future oriented Condensed statement of operations for the year ending March 31, 2022 (dollars)

Financial information	2020–21 forecast results	2021–22 planned results	Difference (2021–22 planned results minus 2020–21 forecast results)
Total expenses	5,262,446,582	6,841,814,087	1,579,367,506
Total revenues	-	-	-
Net cost of operations before government funding and transfers	5,262,446,582	6,841,814,087	1,579,367,506

As noted in the above table, the forecast results total for 2021-22 is $5.3 billion, and the planned results total is $6.8 billion, which results in a difference of $1.5 billion between 2021-22 and 2021-22. This difference is mainly attributable to Infrastructure Canada’s Grants and Contributions funding levels being higher in 2021-22 under the Investing in Canada Plan – Phase II.
