INTRODUCTION TO THE ESTIMATES
The Estimates for each fiscal year is presented to the Legislative Assembly by
the Minister of Finance.
The 2003/04 ESTIMATES is presented on a consolidated basis which combines the
Consolidated Revenue Fund, Crown corporations/agencies, and regional
authorities. The Estimates includes a pro forma statement of financial position;
a statement of operations which combines the operating revenues and expenses of
the Consolidated Revenue Fund, Crown corporations and agencies, and regional
authorities; and, non-operating financial requirements (financing transactions)
of the broadly defined government entity for the coming fiscal year. The
Estimates also includes budget and revised forecast information for the 2002/03
fiscal year for comparative purposes.
The Consolidated Revenue Fund is comprised of the General Fund. All expenditures
from the Consolidated Revenue Fund must be authorized by an appropriation,
either through a SUPPLY ACT or through a specific provision in another statute.
The General Fund is the main operating account of government and includes a
number of Special Accounts which provide statutory authority for specific
expenditures.
In addition to disclosing the pro forma statement of financial position,
statement of operations and financing transactions of the government, the
Estimates form the basis for annual Consolidated Revenue Fund appropriations
approved by the Legislative Assembly through a SUPPLY ACT. Votes contained in
the Consolidated Revenue Fund provide the framework for legislative control of
government spending since funds can only be expended for purposes stated in the
Estimates. Expenses cannot exceed individual vote totals without legislative
authority. Voted expenses are detailed by sub-votes and group account
classification in the Estimates.
Voted and Special Account expenses are detailed by standard object of expense in
the SUPPLEMENT TO THE ESTIMATES. This more detailed presentation is intended to
provide additional information and establishes a framework for administrative
control by Treasury Board over special office and ministry expenses.
The 2003/04 ESTIMATES is comprised of three separate sections.
1. SUMMARY INFORMATION - this section of the Estimates provides an overview the
government's financial plan for the 2003/04 fiscal year. This section also
presents an outline of the accounting policies on which the Estimates have been
prepared and significant presentation changes in the Estimates from the previous
year.
2. ESTIMATES OF SPECIAL OFFICES, MINISTRIES AND OTHER APPROPRIATIONS - this
section presents detailed information on Consolidated Revenue Fund operating
expense, capital and other financing transactions. The Legislative Assembly will
be asked to approve Consolidated Revenue Fund expenses through a SUPPLY ACT
based on the detailed information that is provided in this section. The SUPPLY
ACT will provide the legislative authority for voted appropriations and
financial requirements. Expenses from Special Accounts are disclosed in the
Estimates, however they are not included in SUPPLY ACT totals since they have
existing statutory authority.
Each special office and ministry is presented on a similar basis.
1. Summary - summarizes total voted and statutory (Special Account) expense,
capital and other financing transactions which are the responsibility of
the special office or ministry. Also included is the estimated fulltime
equivalent (FTE) employment for the fiscal year.
2. Core Business Summary - discloses operating expense, capital and other
financing transactions by core business on both the gross (before deducting
external recoveries) and net (after deducting external recoveries) basis. A
core business includes programs and/or functions grouped together based on
common roles and/or purposes. Where core businesses are not required
(Special Offices and Other Appropriations), the voted and statutory
(Special Account) expense and capital expenditures are disclosed by vote.
3. Operating Expense by Core Business - includes a description of the purpose
for each vote and operating expense details by voted and statutory
appropriations. Where core businesses are not required (Special Offices and
Other Appropriations), the operating expense, capital expenditures and
fulltime equivalent (FTE) employment are disclosed by vote.
4. Special Accounts - discloses revenue and expense, capital and other
financing transactions and projected spending authority available for all
special accounts.
5. Financing Transactions - discloses financing transactions which are the
responsibility of the special office or ministry.
3. SCHEDULES - this section of the Estimates consists of supporting schedules
that include detailed Consolidated Revenue Fund operating expense, capital
expenditure and FTE reconciliation to restate the 2002/03 ESTIMATES to be
consistent with the 2003/04 ESTIMATES presentation; summaries of operating and
financial requirements and opening and closing balances for all Special
Accounts; summaries of major ministry and taxpayer-supported Crown corporation
and agency related financing transactions; a summary of FTE staff utilization by
special office, ministry, taxpayer-supported Crown corporation/agency, and
regional authority; a summary of ministerial accountability for operating
expenses; a reconciliation of the deficit to the change in taxpayer-supported
debt and disclosure of total debt; summaries of taxpayer-supported Crown
corporation/agency and regional authority revenues and expenses; and a detailed
reconciliation of revenue by source and expense by function.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
RECOVERIES IN THE ESTIMATES
As in previous years, the 2003/04 ESTIMATES contains several votes and sub-votes
where recoveries are applied against expenses. In these situations the total
recoveries amount is disclosed in the group account classification located on
the last page of each special office, ministry or other appropriation section.
There are two forms of recoveries:
1. INTERNAL RECOVERIES - represents transfers within the Consolidated Revenue
Fund and generally comprise inter-ministry chargebacks for costs budgeted
centrally in government for the provision of certain goods and services
that are recovered from areas elsewhere in government that consume and/or
use those goods and services. Internal recoveries include employee
benefits, postal services, Queen's Printer services and Provincial Treasury
banking charges.
2. EXTERNAL RECOVERIES - represents recoveries to the Consolidated Revenue
Fund from entities outside of the Consolidated Revenue Fund, and include
costs and amounts recovered from government corporations, other levels of
government and non-government organizations, individuals, and businesses.
External recoveries also include sinking fund interest earnings; an offset
for commissions paid for the collection of government revenues and
accounts, and increases in provisions for or the write-off of uncollectible
revenue-related accounts. An example of a major external recovery is
interest costs relating to funds borrowed by government and re-loaned to
public bodies.
AUTHORITY TO SPEND ESTIMATED RECOVERIES
Consolidated Revenue Fund expense budgets are established on the basis of the
gross amount of funds required for a particular purpose, with anticipated
recoveries then being deducted to arrive at the net expense. A shortfall in
anticipated recoveries would cause net expenses to increase. Section 23(3) of
the FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION ACT provides that where a vote in the Estimates
approved by the Legislature shows an item as a credit or recovery, the vote is
deemed to authorize the payment of the net expense plus the amount of the credit
or recovery that is budgeted, whether or not this latter amount is actually
realized. Under-realization of recoveries would have the same effect on the
Consolidated Revenue Fund operating result as an equivalent shortfall in
anticipated government revenue.
AUTHORITY TO SPEND EXCESS RECOVERIES
Section 23(3) of the FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION ACT also provides that excess
Consolidated Revenue Fund recoveries (amounts earned over and above those shown
in the Estimates approved by the Legislative Assembly) may be used for
additional expenses, with the prior approval of Treasury Board. This incremental
spending would have no impact on net budgeted Consolidated Revenue Fund expenses
since the incremental recoveries would offset the incremental spending.
CAPITAL ACQUISITIONS
The government capitalizes certain capital assets in its financial statements.
The annual cost of these acquisitions is shown in each ministry's section of the
Estimates, and is summarized in Schedules D and D1. The cost of these
acquisitions is not included in ministries' operating budgets but is instead
voted as one amount in the SUPPLY ACT. The amortization cost of tangible capital
assets held by the Consolidated Revenue Fund is included in ministry operating
budgets. The government also provides capital funding to organizations within
and outside of the government reporting entity to fund public infrastructure.
Schedule C summarizes this funding. The amortization cost of these advances is
included in ministry operating budgets.

ESTIMATES ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRESENTATION CHANGES
ESTIMATES ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. The Estimates fully consolidates the Consolidated Revenue Fund, which
consists of the General Fund (voted appropriations and all Special
Accounts), with the individual assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses
of taxpayer-supported Crown corporations/agencies and regional authorities
on a line-by-line basis. Self-supported Crown corporation/agency results
are consolidated using the modified equity basis, which includes the
profit/loss of each Crown corporation/agency rather than the individual
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
2. The accounting policies followed in the Estimates comply, in all material
respects, with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for senior
governments as modified by the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB), with
the following exceptions:
a. REPORTING ENTITY - PSAB currently defines the government reporting
entity to include organizations that are accountable for the
administration of their financial affairs and resources either to a
minister of the government or directly to the legislature, and are
owned or controlled by government. Guidance relating to determining
the government reporting entity is currently undergoing a major
review. It is anticipated that the criteria for inclusion will be
changed from organizations that are accountable to government to
organizations that are controlled by government. The guidelines will
include indicators of control that will assist in the determination of
whether or not an entity is controlled by government. The indicators
clearly show that school districts, colleges and health authorities
should be included in the government reporting entity. However, the
indicators make a strong case for the exclusion of universities from
the government reporting entity. Discussions with the Auditor General
regarding the status of universities are ongoing.
The BUDGET TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT, 2001 requires
government to fully implement GAAP by April 1, 2004. School districts,
colleges, universities and health authorities are not currently
included in the government's Summary Financial Statements. Inclusion
of these entities in the 2001/02 Public Accounts would have decreased
the Statement of Operations surplus by $225 million. In the previous
four years, inclusion of these entities would have slightly reduced
the Statement of Operations deficit in each year except one when it
would have slightly increased the deficit. The Auditor General has
qualified his opinion on the government's Summary Financial Statements
as a result of the exclusion of school districts, colleges,
universities and health authorities from the government reporting
entity.
b. PREPAID CAPITAL ADVANCES - Prepaid Capital Advances are provided to
school districts, post secondary institutions, health organizations
and other specified government organizations to fund capital asset
acquisitions. The province has an ongoing claim to these assets and,
accordingly, capitalizes the advances and amortizes them over the
useful life of the underlying capital assets. PSAB recommends that
governments fully expense these advances in the year they are
disbursed.
SIGNIFICANT PRESENTATION CHANGES IN THE 2002/03 ESTIMATES
The 2003/04 ESTIMATES presentation has been changed in order to achieve direct
linkage between inputs ($/FTEs) and outputs/outcomes, as indicated by
performance measures and targets included in ministry service plans. This change
provides alignment between sub-votes in the Estimates and core business areas in
ministry service plans. The following significant presentation changes have been
incorporated into the 2003/04 ESTIMATES:
1. RESTATEMENT OF 2002/03 ESTIMATES - The 2002/03 Estimates and Forecast have
been restated to be consistent with the 2003/04 ESTIMATES presentation.
Schedule A presents a detailed reconciliation of Consolidated Revenue Fund
operating expense, capital expenditures and FTEs to restate the 2002/03
Estimates to be consistent with the 2003/04 ESTIMATES presentation.

2 ESTIMATES, 03/04
ESTIMATES ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRESENTATION CHANGES (CONTINUED)
2. REGIONAL AUTHORITIES - During fiscal years 2003/04 to 2005/06, the Ministry
of Children and Family Development will transfer authority for services in
its Community Living Services and Child and Family Development programs to
new governance structures. While these bodies will be responsible for
directing operating and managing funds and services, the government will
retain responsibility for funding, performance agreements, and monitoring
and assessing accountabilities of the authorities. Therefore, these
authorities are included in the government reporting entity. Details on the
estimated revenues and expenses of these regional authorities can be found
in Schedule L of the 2003/04 ESTIMATES.
3. SUMMARY INFORMATION - In prior years, the Estimates consolidated
taxpayer-supported Crown corporation/agency results using the modified
equity basis which included the profits/losses of Crown
corporations/agencies rather than the individual assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses. Commencing with the 2003/04 ESTIMATES, the assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses of taxpayer-supported entities have been
consolidated with the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the
Consolidated Revenue Fund on a line-by-line basis. This presentation is
consistent with GAAP consolidation policies. A number of tables in the
Summary Information section of the Estimates have also been changed to
conform with the new method of consolidation.
The presentation format of the Estimated Statement of Financial Position
(formerly known as the Balance Sheet) has changed to comply with GAAP
presentation requirements for government organizations. The Estimated
Statement of Operations fully consolidates the revenues and expenses of the
government. In prior years' Estimates, this table was located in the
Schedules section for information purposes only. The Estimated Deficit
Overview provides a high level presentation of the Statement of Operations
and separates out taxpayer-supported programs and agencies from
self-supported operations. Taxpayer-supported programs and agencies include
the Consolidated Revenue Fund, taxpayer-supported Crown corporation/agency
and regional authorities. The Estimated Revenue by Source table combines
the revenues of taxpayer-supported programs and agencies with the net
earnings of self-supported Crown corporations/agencies to arrive at the
total revenue. The Estimated Expense by Organization combines the operating
expenses of taxpayer-supported programs and agencies to arrive at the total
expense.
4. ESTIMATES OF SPECIAL OFFICES, MINISTRIES AND OTHER APPROPRIATIONS - The
2003/04 ESTIMATES presentation format of this section has been changed to
better align with ministry service plans. Each ministry section begins with
a summary page which includes the ministry's mission statement as well as a
summary of the total voted and statutory (Special Accounts) expense,
capital and other financing transactions and fulltime equivalent (FTE)
employment for the fiscal year. The following pages disclose the operating
expenses, capital expenditures and other financing transactions by core
business on both a summary and detailed level. The Special Offices and
Other Appropriations sections of the Estimates have also changed to
correspond with the new format. However, as Special Offices and Other
Appropriations are not required to disclose activities by core business,
the operating expense, capital expenditures and other financing
transactions for these sections are disclosed by vote. The group account
classification for voted expenses is reported at the ministry level in the
Estimates; details on group account classification at the individual
sub-vote level can be found in the SUPPLEMENT TO THE ESTIMATES.
5. SCHEDULES - The 2003/04 ESTIMATES includes five new schedules. The first
schedule, Regional Authorities - Estimated Revenues and Expenses (Schedule
L) provides details on the estimated revenues and expenses of the Ministry
of Children and Family Development governance authorities. The second and
third schedules, Reconciliation of Deficit to Change in Taxpayer-Supported
Debt and Statement of Total Debt (Schedule H) and Estimated Consolidated
Revenue Fund Operating Result (Schedule J) are schedules that in previous
years' Estimates have been included in the Summary Information section. The
fourth schedule, Estimated Revenue by Source (Schedule M) provides a
detailed reconciliation of revenue by both source and organization. The
purpose of this schedule is to show the revenue attributable to the
Consolidated Revenue Fund, Crown corporation/agencies and regional
authorities on a source basis. The fifth schedule, Estimated Expense by
Function (Schedule N) provides a detailed reconciliation of expenses by
both function and organization. The purpose of this schedule is to show the
operating expenses attributable to the Consolidated Revenue Fund, Crown
corporation/agencies and regional authorities on a functional basis.

NOTES
(1) A Special Account is an account in the General Fund where the authorization
to spend money from the account is located in an Act other than the SUPPLY
ACT.
(2) Forecast net revenue and net cash receipts are significantly higher than
budget primarily due to higher than expected harvest volumes (up 26 percent
to 12.2 million cubic meters).
(3) The significant year over year increase reflects a change in accounting
estimate to include direct labour and an applicable share of overhead costs
in the cost of inventory (i.e., timber developed for sale). Direct labour
and overhead were previously expensed as period costs.
(4) Working capital adjustments include those adjustments that would change the
cash balance of the Special Account. This would include changes in
accumulated amortization, inventory, and accounts receivable and payable.
(5) The Projected Spending Authority Available represents the cash and temporary
investments projected to be available at the end of the fiscal year.

PROVINCIAL HOME ACQUISITION
This account was created as a fund by the PROVINCIAL HOME ACQUISITION ACT,
1967, and was changed to a Special Account under the SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT,
1982. The purpose of the account was to pay grants to qualified British Columbia
residents constructing or purchasing a home, and to make loans secured by second
mortgages. Currently, mortgage financing is provided from this account to
qualified British Columbia residents for the conversion of existing housing into
rental suites under the HOME CONVERSION AND LEASEHOLD LOAN ACT, 1979.
Most of the BC Second Mortgage program portfolio has been sold to private
sector lenders. The province repurchases mortgage accounts which become more
than 90 days in arrears.
Revenue consists of interest on outstanding mortgage principal. Expense
includes statutory rebates and other miscellaneous program costs.
Receipts represent repayment of outstanding mortgage loan principal.
Disbursements represent new conversion mortgages, repurchased mortgage accounts
and guarantee claims paid under the mortgage assistance program.

(1) A Special Account is an account in the General Fund where the authorization
to spend money from the account is located in an Act other than the SUPPLY
ACT.
(2) General Fund Transfers consist of changes in statutory spending authority.
(3) Working capital adjustments include those adjustments that would change the
cash balance of the Special Account. This would include changes in
accumulated amortization, inventory, and accounts receivable and payable.
(4) Transfers from voted appropriations are eliminated to establish the amount
of special account expenses that do not require voted appropriations.
This net amount of special account expense is then deducted from total
expenses in the determination of SUPPLY ACT requirements shown on page 13.

(1) Commencing in 1998/99, loans and capital funding provided to school
districts and post secondary institutions are treated, for financial
statement reporting purposes, as prepaid capital advances (assets of the
Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF)) and amortized over the useful life of the
underlying assets. The amortization period for these advances, on average,
approximates 30 years. Commencing with the 2000/01 fiscal year, loans and
capital funding provided to British Columbia Transit and health facilities
for capital projects are accounted for in the same manner. Since the
borrowing for schools, post secondary institutions, public transit and
health facilities capital is now raised directly through the CRF, these
financial requirements are included in the annual SUPPLY ACT.
(2) Disbursements by the Ministry of Advanced Education are for capital costs
of new buildings, renovations and improvements to universities, colleges,
institutes and agencies. Disbursements by the Ministry of Education are for
capital costs of new buildings, renovations and improvements to schools and
other school district buildings and for bus and equipment purchases.
Disbursements by the Ministry of Health Services are for capital costs of
new buildings, renovations and improvements for health facilities and
agencies. Disbursements by the Ministry of Transportation are for capital
expenditures for public passenger transit services, rapid transit in the
lower mainland, and capitalized borrowing costs relating to Rapid Transit
Project 2000 debt.

FULLTIME EQUIVALENT (FTE) EMPLOYMENT
Fulltime equivalent (FTE) employment is the estimate of each special
office's, ministry's, taxpayer-supported Crown corporation/agency's and
regional authority's annualstaff utilization. The BUDGET TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT defines staffutilization to include all employees whose
salaries are paid directly by the taxpayer-supported government reporting
entity. The term "fulltime equivalent" is defined as the employment of one
person for one full year or the equivalent thereof (for example, the
employment of two persons for six months each). Ministry and special office
FTEs are calculated by dividing eachspecial office's and ministry's total
hours of permanent, auxiliary, temporary, seasonal and overtimee mployment
paid, or estimatedto bepaid, for the fiscal year, by the normal paid working
hours for one fulltime employee for one year. Taxpayer-supported Crown
corporation/agency FTEs are estimated in a similar manner. Employees in
taxpayer-supported Crown corporations and agencies whose salaries are
included in the cost of capital projects are not counted as FTEs in order to
maintain consistency between salaries expense and FTEs.
The table below provides a summary of estimated fulltime equivalent
employment by special office, ministry and taxpayer-supported Crown
corporation/agency for the 2002/03 and 2003/04 fiscal years. The 2002/03
ministry and special office numbers are restated to reflect program and staff
transfers among ministries (see Schedule A for a detailed reconciliation).
The 2002/03 FTE utilization is forecast to be 38,728 FTEs.

SUMMARY OF MINISTERIAL ACCOUNTABILITY FOR OPERATING EXPENSES
(for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2004)
($000)
For each Minister (other than the Minister of Provincial Revenue) with
responsibility for operating expenses accounted for in the Consolidated
Revenue Fund, an estimated amount must be made public with the Estimates
under section 6(1) of the BALANCED BUDGET AND MINISTERIAL ACCOUNTABILITY ACT,
commencing with the 2002/03 fiscal year. The estimated amount is described in
section 5(1) of the BALANCED BUDGET AND MINISTERIAL ACCOUNTABILITY ACT and
represents the operating expenses which are the responsibility of the
minister as set out in the main Estimates for the fiscal year. Section 6(2)of
the BALANCED BUDGET AND MINISTERIAL ACCOUNTABILITY ACT requires that the
actual amount of those operating expenses be made public for each minister
with the Public Accounts for that fiscal year.
Section 5(2) of the BALANCED BUDGET AND MINISTERIAL ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
applies to the Minister of Provincial Revenue and provides for an amount of
revenue to be specified by regulation of Treasury Board. Section 5(3) of the
BALANCED BUDGET AND MINISTERIAL ACCOUNTABILITY ACT applies to ministers of
state, for whom expected results are specified by Treasury Board regulation
and are itemized in minister of state accountability statements which appear
in the corresponding ministry service plans.
The table below shows, for each minister, the ministry and other
appropriations for which the minister is responsible. The third column shows
the total operating expenses for each of the ministries or other
appropriations for the 2003/04 fiscal year. The final column shows the sum of
these operating expenses, which is the estimated amount each minister is
responsible for under section 5(1) of the BALANCED BUDGET AND MINISTERIAL
