Supplementary Estimates
Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2021
SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES, 2020/2021
INTRODUCTION TO THE SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES
Each year the government presents a budget to the Legislative Assembly. The budget includes the Main Estimates, which, in conjunction with Supply Acts passed by the Legislature, provide government with authority (voted appropriations) to spend money from the General Fund of the Consolidated Revenue Fund. If spending from voted appropriations is forecast to exceed that set out in the Main Estimates, in some circumstances (unless section 8.1(2) of the Budget Transparency and Accountability Act applies) Supplementary Estimates may be presented to the Legislative Assembly.
Where Supplementary Estimates increase the funding for purposes included in a vote description in the Main Estimates, that vote description may be referenced in the Supplementary Estimates. Where Supplementary Estimates provide funding for purposes that are not included in the vote descriptions of the Main Estimates, new vote descriptions or new votes are provided in the Supplementary Estimates.
These Supplementary Estimates provide funding from the General Fund of the Consolidated Revenue Fund in the amount of $5,000,000,000 for operating expenses as set out in the Schedule of Appropriations to be Voted (page 3).

SUMMARY OF MINISTERIAL ACCOUNTABILITY FOR OPERATING EXPENSES
(for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2021)
($000)
Under section 3 of the Balanced Budget and Ministerial Accountability Act (BBMAA), each member of the Executive Council has 20 percent of his or her salary held back with restoration of half of the holdback contingent on government achieving its overall fiscal target for the year as per section 4, and restoration of the other half of the holdback contingent on ministers achieving individual goals as set out in section 5. For each minister with responsibility for operating expenses arising from a voted appropriation as accounted for in the Consolidated Revenue Fund, section 5(1) stipulates actual results for the year must not exceed the estimated amounts for that fiscal year. Section 5(3) applies to ministers of state, for whom expected results are specified by Treasury Board regulation.
In the table below, the column entitled “Minister Responsible” lists the ministers with BBMAA section 5(1) assigned responsibilities. The column entitled “Voted Appropriations in the 2020/21 Estimates “ shows the voted appropriations for which those ministers are responsible. The columns entitled “Voted Appropriation Operating Expenses (net)” and “2020/21 Estimated Amount” show the dollar amounts of operating expenses (net) and estimated amounts allocated to ministers in the 2020/21 Estimates . The column entitled “Legislated Additions” shows additional voted appropriations resulting from supplementary estimates. The column entitled “Order In Council and Other Adjustments” shows transfers of spending authority resulting from orders in council implementing government reorganizations, or, where a vote authorizes spending by more than one minister, reallocation of spending authority by Treasury Board among the ministers identified in the vote. The final two columns show the reallocated appropriations (or portions thereof) for which individual ministers are now responsible and the revised estimated amounts for each minister.
