The spending estimates for the Government of Canada's
2005-2006 fiscal year are now available. Part I is The Government Expenditure
Plan and Part II is The Main Estimates. Part I provides an overview of federal
spending. It describes the relationship of the Estimates to the Expenditure
Plan (as set out in the Budget) and summarizes key elements of the Main
Estimates. Part II, known traditionally as the "Blue Book", directly supports
the Appropriation Act. It provides a detailed listing of the resources required
by individual departments and agencies for the upcoming fiscal year in order to
deliver the programs for which they are responsible.

The 2005-2006 Main Estimates support the
Government's request to Parliament for authority to spend public funds. They
also provide information about adjustments to projected statutory spending that
had previously been authorized by Parliament. The tabling of Parts I and II of
the 2005-2006 Main Estimates represent the bulk of the government
expense plan set out in the November 2004 Economic and Fiscal Update.
Parliament will subsequently consider appropriation bills to authorize the
spending. .
The final stage in the presentation of the Main Estimates to
Parliament to be tabled are the Reports on Plans and Priorities (Part
III Estimates). These reports are comprehensive documents that provide detailed
departmental expenditure plans, covering a three-year period.
