1  These amounts have been restated for comparative purposes only, to be consistent with the presentation of the September Update 2005 Estimates 2005/06. Schedule A of the Estimates presents a detailed reconciliation.
2  In 2004/05 and 2005/06, the federal/provincial Agriculture Policy Framework provided the ministry with recoveries in the Food Industry Development and Agriculture and Aquaculture Management 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 Industry Development (6,886) (7,377)
Agriculture and Aquaculture Management (172) (172)
Risk Management 7,058 7,549
Total 0 0
3  The Risk Management core business area expenditures increased to reflect the creation of the Production Insurance Special Account and the related premium expenses of $10.6 million in fiscal year 2005/06 and $12 million in fiscal years 2006/07 and 2007/08, as well as other minor adjustments.
4  Land and Water BC will be wound-up effective September 30, 2005. Resources will be transferred for the period October 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006 to Crown Land Administration. The ministry will be allocating staff from the Crown Land Administration core business area to the Integrated Land Management Bureau to undertake authorizations in regional Front Counter BC – Natural Resource Opportunity Centres.
5  Corporate Services staff numbers (FTEs) shown under Executive and Support Services support the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, Integrated Land Management Bureau, Agricultural Land Commission, Ministry of Environment and the Environmental Assessment Office. However, the net operating budget for corporate services covers only the costs of the ministry (The corporate services budget for the Integrated Land Management Bureau is shown in Part B of this service plan).
6  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.
7  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.
