2  In 2004/05 and 2005/06, the federal/provincial Agriculture Policy Framework provided the ministry with recoveries in the Food Safety and Quality and Environmental Sustainability and Resource Development core business areas, enabling the ministry to direct additional funds to Risk Management programs to meet operational obligations. The actual recoveries and related increases in risk management expenditures are below:
    2004/05    2005/06
  Food Safety and Quality (2,724) (3,378)
  Environmental Sustainability and Resource Development (4,334) (4,171)
  Risk Management 7,058 7,549
    Total 0 0
3  The Risk Management core business area expenditures increase to reflect the creation of the Production Insurance Special Account and the related premium expenses of $10.6 M in fiscal 2005/06 and $12.0 M in fiscals 2006/07 and 2007/08, as well as other minor adjustments.
4  Total operating expenses for 2005/06 also increased to reflect funds provided for the Pacific Salmon Forum, for the development of a Bio-Security Level 3 laboratory, for aquaculture health initiatives, for enhancements to InfoBasket, for fairs and exhibitions and for enhanced bio-security measures.
5  Production Insurance Stabilization funds are no longer required with the creation of the Production Insurance Special Account. The Special Account is supported by a statutory appropriation within the Insurance for Crops Act.
