Actual spending in 2021-22 ($9 billion) was greater than planned spending ($6.8 billion). The variance is mainly due to the Canada Community-Building Fund top-up ($2.2 billion) that was not part of the initial planned spending. As a result, total actual spending for 2021-22 ($9 billion) was higher than the total actual spending in 2020-21 ($5.5 billion), which is also attributable to Infrastructure Canada's grants and contributions envelope expanding with some larger programs at the height of expenditures.

Actual full time equivalents were 28% above planned full time equivalents in 2021-22. This variance is mainly due to an increase in funding and the associated full-time equivalents as a result of the mandated transfer of the Housing and Homelessness portfolio from ESDC, new programming, as well as Infrastructure Canada risk-managed positions to support key areas where capacity was insufficient to manage workload and improve effectiveness through stronger tools and business processes. Infrastructure Canada is positioning the Department to be able to successfully deliver on an unprecedented levels of programming.

The net cost of operation before government funding and transfers was $6.8 billion, a decrease of $862.6 million over the previous year's total of $7.7 billion.
