As part of the present Departmental Results Report, Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is informing parliamentarians and Canadians of the budgetary performance achieved for 2017 to 2018. This performance is measured against the planned spending defined in PSPC's 2017 to 2018 Departmental Plan.

The budgetary performance summary table above provides the following:

After the planned spending was submitted as part of the 2017 to 2018 Main Estimates, PSPC received additional funding during the fiscal year, mainly to help stabilize the Phoenix pay system, increase pay service delivery capacity, and to provide accommodation and other services for the 2018 G7 Summit.

The variance of $33 million between actual spending and planned spending in 2017 to 2018 is mainly related to the following factors:

The increase of $828 million in actual spending from 2015 to 2016 to 2017 to 2018 is primarily the result of:

Finally, while PSPC transitioned to the Departmental Results Framework beginning in 2018 to 2019, the planned spending for 2018 to 2019 and 2019 to 2020 were restated according to the Program Alignment Architecture, to comply with the presentation of this Departmental Results Report.

Expenses

Actual over planned

The 2017 to 2018 expenses were $372 million lower than planned (planned: $6,667.4 million; actual: $6,295.7 million). The decrease is mainly attributable to the Accommodation and Real Property Services Program due to:

Actual year over year

The increase in expenses of $550 million (2017 to 2018: $6,295.7 million; 2016 to 2017: $5,745.7 million) is mainly attributable to the Accommodation and Real Property Services Program and Federal Pay and Pension Administration due to:

Revenues

Actual over planned

The 2017 to 2018 revenues were $136 million less than planned (planned: $3,163.5 million; actual: $3,027.8 million), and this is due to business volume being lower than anticipated as a result of the scope of other government departments' projects being reduced or postponed to next fiscal year, or cancelled.

Actual year over year

The 2017 to 2018 revenues were comparable with the prior year (2017 to 2018: $3,027.8 million; 2016 to 2017: $3,029.8 million).

Departmental net financial position 4,402,954,037 3,993,691,799 409,262,238

Net liabilities

The increase in total net liabilities of $69 million is mainly attributable to an increase in accounts payable as a result of increased business volume for construction and repair work as part of the government's commitment to build and renew infrastructure across Canada for other government departments; offset by a decrease in lease obligations (future payments for leased tangible capital assets) as a result of payments made during the year.

Net financial assets

The increase in total net financial assets of $173 million is mainly due to an increase in the due from Consolidated Revenue Fund which is explained by a timing difference between when a transaction affects the authorities and when it is processed through the Consolidated Revenue Fund. In other words, the increase represents the amount of cash that the department is entitled to, without seeking further authorities, for the purpose of paying its liabilities.

Non-financial assets

The increase in total non-financial assets of $305 million (assets with a physical substance that are used to deliver services and have a useful life extending beyond an accounting period), such as real property, equipment or machinery that have been purchased, built or leased. The increase is mainly attributable to:
