a Figures for planned spending presented in this report for 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 may differ from those published in Environment Canada’s DPRs due to differences in reporting periods. As well, some allocated resources were reprofiled. As a result, the total for planned spending does not add to $115.9 million.

b Natural Resources Canada reprofiled allocated resources to include an additional year of program activity in 2011-2012


7 Senior management at PHAC were able to cash manage funds for the 2007-2008 fiscal year, and the program was thus able to report spending in that year.
