The Quarterly Financial Report provides financial information for the quarter and fiscal year-to-date, as well as comparative financial information for the preceding fiscal year. The report also provides a statement outlining the results, risks and significant changes in operations, personnel and programs during the quarter.
The Future-Oriented Statement of Operations provides information on the planned expenses and revenues for the current fiscal year and the next fiscal year. This statement has been prepared on the basis of government priorities and departmental plans as described in the Departmental Plan.
Departmental Plans are expenditure plans for each appropriated department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). They describe departmental priorities, strategic outcomes, programs, expected results and associated resource requirements, covering a three-year period beginning with the year indicated in the title of the report.
