Report On Resources

As a shared services organization, much of the Ministry of Management Services operates on a cost-recovery basis. The majority of ministry branches receive a voted appropriation of only $1,000 — driving them to operate in a disciplined, business-like manner. This "$1,000 vote structure" means that at the end of the fiscal year, expenditures must not exceed recoveries by more than $1,000. As a result, the voted appropriation of approximately $51.3 million in 2004/05 is a relatively small portion of the ministry's total budgeted expenditures which were $377.4 million in total. For fiscal year 2004/05 the ministry had a Full-Time Equivalent staff allocation of 1,664.
