PREFACE

The 2022-23 Government Estimates reports the requirements for public monies from the General Revenue Fund to fund the operations of the Government of Alberta for the year commencing April 1, 2022. Together with the 2022-23 Offices of the Legislative Assembly Estimates, the estimates identify the total requirements for public monies from the General Revenue Fund for the year.

The estimates documents focus on the specific legislative requirements set out in section 24 of the Financial Administration Act. Further supplementary information on related financial entities and consolidation adjustments can be found in the 2022-23 Entity Financial Information published in electronic form on the Budget 2022 website, and on the government’s open data portal at https://open.alberta.ca/opendata.

This Preface provides a summary of the information presented in the 2022-23 Government Estimates, an overview of the appropriations process, a summary of major changes in organization structure and financial reporting policy, and definitions of supply votes and selected terms.

The Schedule of Amounts to be Voted illustrates how the supply votes will be presented in the bill for the Appropriation Act, 2022 to be tabled in the Legislative Assembly.

Summaries of the Government Estimates are provided in the following tables:

◾ Total Government Estimates by Type of Vote;

◾ Reconciliation of Supply Votes to Consolidated Government Estimate;

◾ Voted Amounts by Department;

◾ Statutory Amounts by Department;

◾ Non-cash Amounts by Department; and

◾ Entity Statutory Amounts by Ministry.

The Details of the 2022-23 Government Estimates presents information on amounts for each department to be drawn from the General Revenue Fund as required by section 24 of the Financial Administration Act. The details include the following information, as applicable:

◾ Amounts to be Voted;

◾ Description of Supply Vote Programs;

◾ Supply Votes by Type and Program;

◾ Voted Amounts Funded by Credit or Recovery; and

◾ Amounts Not Required to be Voted.

In addition to the information specifically required by the Financial Administration Act, the details presented include supplementary financial information showing the relation between each ministry’s supply vote amounts and the consolidated fiscal plan:

◾ Reconciliation of Supply Vote to the Consolidated Government Estimate by program and by type of Fiscal Plan spending category; and

◾ Statement of Operations, Change in Capital Assets, and Change in Inventory Assets, as appropriate, for the ministry.

Appropriations from the General Revenue Fund

In Alberta, the supply process is governed by the conventions and legal requirements of the Canadian Constitution, Alberta’s Financial Administration Act, and the Standing Orders of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.

When the 2022-23 Government Estimates is tabled in the Legislative Assembly, the government makes a motion to refer the report to Legislative Policy Committees for consideration. After the Legislative Policy Committees’ discussions, the Committee of Supply will pass a resolution affirming certain estimate amounts as allocated to each supply vote. Finally, the supply votes as approved by the resolutions of Committee of Supply will be drafted into the Appropriation Act, 2022 Bill and introduced to the Legislative Assembly. Once this bill is enacted by royal assent, the government will have the authority to draw cash from the General Revenue Fund up to the limits of the supply votes set out in the Act.

i PREFACE

The 2022-23 Government Estimates details the estimated amounts required by each department for the fiscal year (April 1 to March 31). Each department’s estimate amounts are divided into:

◾ those that require authority to draw cash from the General Revenue Fund under a supply vote pursuant to an appropriation act; and

◾ those that do not require a supply vote either because the amounts already have disbursement authority under a statute other than an appropriation act, or because no cash disbursement is required.

  Non-cash amounts do not require a supply vote, an appropriation act or any other statutory authority because these amounts do not require any expenditure or payment of public money. Most non-cash amounts are for expenses related to cash disbursed under a supply vote in a previous fiscal year. For example, amortization expense is related to the cash disbursements authorized under a capital investment vote when the capital asset was built or acquired. Other non-cash amounts are for transactions that will not require cash, such as the year-over-year changes in vacation benefit liabilities.

Budget Presentation and Government Organization Methodology

Budget 2022 documents present the fully consolidated financial reporting entity of the Alberta Government including all entities financially controlled by the Province under Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) standards and guidance. These 2022-23 Government Estimates reflect the Province’s budget presentation methodology and the organization of government ministries as of February 24, 2022.

As in past budgets, the comparable amounts presented in these estimates may not match the amounts originally presented in the Government of Alberta 2020-21 Annual Report released on June 30, 2021 or the Budget 2021 documents tabled on February 25, 2021. Any such differences are the result of adjustments applied to maintain the comparability of prior year amounts with the 2022-23 estimate amounts.

Budget 2022 includes no significant program or organizational structure changes.

Definitions of Supply Votes and Other Terms

An Estimate is the amount requested by the government to meet each of its planned commitments for the fiscal year commencing April 1, 2022. The Financial Administration Act requires the 2022-23 Government Estimates to report estimates of any amount that will require a cash withdrawal from the General Revenue Fund.

An Appropriation is an authorization to withdraw and expend public money from the General Revenue Fund or another provincial fund. Following parliamentary tradition, the Financial Administration Act requires that all such authorities be provided in legislation passed by the Legislative Assembly. Appropriations may be created by an appropriation act or other statute. Appropriation acts are drafted to contain the specific set of supply votes that have been resolved by the Committee of Supply.

A Supply Vote is a discrete allocation from the 2022-23 estimates that defines the amount of cash funding that may be drawn from the General Revenue Fund for a specified purpose. Following the principle of ministerial accountability, supply votes are divided along departmental lines. For most ministries, three types of supply vote are used in the 2022-23 Government Estimates: Expense, Capital Investment and Financial Transactions. A fourth type of supply vote has been provided for the Ministry of Treasury Board and Finance for a Contingency.

Expense consists of cash disbursements for the purposes of salaries, supplies and services, grants for operating and capital purposes, as well as interest expense and other debt servicing costs for borrowing related to both capital and general government purposes. These amounts include capital payments to related parties that are expected to result in the creation of a tangible capital asset for that related party or for the consolidated government as a whole. Capital payments to related parties are shown under a separate header.

Capital Investment consists of cash disbursements for the purposes of investments in department tangible capital assets valued at $5,000 or more.

ii

PREFACE

Financial Transactions consist of cash disbursements for the purposes of payments for the reduction of a liability (including debt repayment), the acquisition of financial assets (including in particular the making of loans or advances), or the purchase of inventories. Financial liabilities for alternatively financed capital projects are reduced by payments from a Financial Transactions vote.

The Contingency consists of provisional funding authority that is transferrable to any ministry to address requirements for disasters, emergencies, COVID-19 response, economic recovery, and other contingencies as directed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council during the fiscal year.
