Introduction

The 2014-15 Supplementary Estimates – November are prepared in accordance with Section 12(1) of The Financial Administration Act, 1993 and include any estimated increases in 2014-15 “To Be Voted” and “Statutory” expenditures, loans, advances and investments to be paid from the General Revenue Fund (GRF).

Funding requests reflect the additional commitments government will undertake during the fiscal year.  The requested funding for each vote is the net amount required after reallocation of voted appropriation not required in other areas of the vote.

The additional funding contained in the 2014-15 Supplementary Estimates – November includes an appropriation already provided by special warrant.  Clause 14(3)(b) of The Financial Administration Act, 1993 requires that special warrant appropriations be “submitted to the Legislative Assembly as part of the next Appropriation Act that is not an Act for interim supply”.

The 2014-15 Supplementary Estimates – November contain schedules similar in format to those included in the 2014-15 Estimates.

The detail section of the 2014-15 Supplementary Estimates – November, beginning on page 10, uses the vote, subvote and allocation structure from the 2014-15 Estimates with the exception of the Ministries of Central Services, and Parks, Culture and Sport which have been adjusted to reflect Order in Council #284/2014.

The subvote descriptions provided in the

2014-15 Estimates apply to the 2014-15 Supplementary Estimates – November; however, subvote descriptions may be expanded by the explanation for the additional funding provided by the Supplementary Estimates – November.

Descriptions for new votes and subvotes are incorporated into the explanation for the additional funding.

The General Principles, Budget and Spending Control, Budget Principles and Glossary of Terms outlined in the 2014-15 Estimates apply to the 2014-15 Supplementary Estimates – November.
