Resource Summary

The diagram below shows an approximation of how the ministry's 2005/06 budget is allocated to ministry goals. A specific ministry goal often requires resources from more than one core business area, and therefore, expenditure breakdown is an estimate. The diagram includes justice system goals and one multiculturalism goal.

Estimated 2005/06 Expenditures by Goal

Justice System Goals

1. A ministry that is a leader in law reform and innovative justice processes
2. An effective criminal justice system
3. An effective civil justice system
4. Effective legal services enabling government to administer public affairs in accordance with the law

Multiculturalism Goal

1. Full participation of immigrants in social and economic opportunities

Resource Summary Table

The following Resource Summary Table is organized on the basis of the six core business areas discussed earlier in this plan. For consistency with the Estimates, the Summary includes four additional areas that are funded through separate appropriations.

• The independent judiciary functions at arm's length from government.
• The Crown Proceeding Act provides for payments to be made pursuant to the Act, as a result of judgments against the government or of settlements reached in litigation.
• The B.C. Utilities Commission operates independently and produces a separate Service Plan.³
• The Public Guardian and Trustee of British Columbia is partially funded by a special account and prepares a separate Service Plan.⁴
