Explanations and Comments

The Economic Development Fund was established in April 2002 to support economic development initiatives with First Nations. Fiscal year 2004/05 was the Fund's final year and it is referenced for comparative purposes only.

The ministry experienced an increase in FTEs in 2005/06 due to the transfer of 15 FTEs from the Ministry of Community, Aboriginal & Women's Services. The ministry also received two FTEs from shared services to strengthen its core corporate services, two FTEs from Land and Water British Columbia and four FTEs were provided to support the Minister's Office. The ministry transferred FTEs and the associated budget for fiscal mandate development work to the Ministry of Finance.
