1 The Agricultural Land Commission, referenced in all tables in this section, was previously known as the Land Reserve Commission.

The budget figures above show the 2002/03 Estimates for the ministry. All comments made on the first table concerning financial adjustments, capital expenditures and adjustments to strategies apply equally to this table. Comments here are restricted to further details on major financial adjustments and sub-vote variances.

Financial Adjustments

At the close of the year Treasury Board provided contingency operating funding of $6.97 million for two items in response to business cases presented by the ministry.

  • $2.089 million to supplement $0.911 million of surplus ministry funds, so that together $3 million could be provided to the Muskwa-Kechika Advisory Board to pre-pay the ministry's 2003/04 to 2005/06 commitments to the Board under Goal 2.
  • $4.881 for tenure compensation commitments under the Crown Land Special Account.

Treasury Board also provided $30 million in contingency capital funding for forestry tenure compensation associated with the establishment of protected areas.

Operating Variances

Virtually all variances in the sub-votes are due to the handling of overheads. The Corporate Services sub-vote was technically overspent and the other major sub-votes were underspent because building occupancy, telecommunications and other overheads were budgeted to the other sub-votes but expensed through Corporate Services.
