1  Variance primarily due to unfunded salary rate increases and Voluntary Departure Program (VDP) and Early Retirement Incentive Program (ERIP) vacation payouts.
2  Variance primarily due to aboriginal litigation expenditures, rebates to certain ministries for services that were not required or delivered under the service level agreements, and employee compensation cost of living increases.
3  Variance primarily due to salary and benefits savings related to various staffing strategies and one-time savings on transfers under agreement as well as maximizing federal/provincial cost-sharing agreement expenditures.
4  Variance primarily due to lower operating costs and projects and initiatives not proceeding; payments not required to the McLeod Lake Indian Band; and lower economic measures expenditures due to delays in program implementation.
5  The B.C. Utilities Commission was transferred to the Ministry of Attorney General from the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Vote 22) during 2003/04.
6  Variance primarily due to deferral of Salmon Arm Courthouse replacement because of project scheduling delays.
7  Variance primarily due to timing of the Litigation Management systems project.
8  Variance primarily due to savings in information systems projects and no tenant improvement requirements for facility projects.
9  Variance primarily due to deferral of Surrey Courthouse expansion to fiscal 2006/07 when operating funds to support the project will be available.
10  Variance primarily due to less land being purchased than was anticipated.
