i ESTIMATES OF THE PROGRAM EXPENDITURE AND REVENUE OF THE CONSOLIDATED REVENUE FUND 2022-23 INTRODUCTION The financial plan of the Province is the consolidated

summary budget as presented in the Budget 2022 document. It combines the projected accrual revenue and expenses of the Consolidated Revenue Fund with the budget of various Crown Corporations, Boards and Authorities which are controlled by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. These organizations are accountable for the administration of their financial affairs and resources either to a Minister of the Government or directly to the Legislature. The statements in the Budget document present the projected consolidated accrual revenues and expenses and information on the consolidated change in net debt.

The Estimates of the Program Expenditure and Revenue is a supplementary document prepared in accordance with the Financial Administration Act to present the 2022-23 departmental spending appropriations of the Consolidated Revenue Fund to the House of Assembly for the fiscal year commencing April 1, 2022. It outlines the estimated expenditures and revenues for the year and reflects policies, programs and priorities of Government in the form prescribed by Treasury Board.

For comparative purposes, revised expenditure for the previous fiscal year is presented as well as the previous year's budgeted figures, restated where appropriate, to reflect departmental restructuring. The Consolidated Revenue Fund, pursuant to the Financial Administration Act, is comprised of all public money over which the Legislature has power of appropriation, excepting money that is otherwise specially disposed of by the Legislature. Such public money is to be appropriated to the public service of the Province by the Legislature, the expenditure of which is assigned to the various Government departments.

The Estimates document reflects the 2022-23 expenditures and revenues, as noted above, of the Consolidated Revenue Fund on a modified cash basis. The accrual based information and annual results of operations are presented in the Budget 2022 document. PROGRAM STRUCTURE The program structure of the Estimates represents the manner in which Government divides the financial plan into areas of responsibility and accountability.

The Estimates are classified into the following groups: Sector - A Sector constitutes a division of the Estimates into broad areas to which funding is provided, that is, General Government, Resource and Social. Department - A Department represents a major policy area to which funding is provided. Each Department is headed by a Minister who is accountable and responsible for its operations (for example – Justice and Public Safety). Program - Programs are major groupings of the significant functions and responsibilities performed or delivered by a Department (for example - Public Protection).

Sub-program - Sub-programs are divisions of each program which further define areas of responsibility and accountability for program delivery purposes (for example – Police Protection). Activity - Activities represent the lowest division of the Program Estimates and constitute a specific service or function being funded (for example – Royal Newfoundland Constabulary). Activities are the level at which the House of Assembly votes funding and are the level used for appropriation control.

ii EXPENDITURES Budgetary Budgetary expenditures are those incurred by Government in the course of achieving its policy and program objectives. Expenditures are provided on a gross basis with related revenues received not being netted against the expenditure. The categories of expenditures are: Current Account - In addition to expenditures of a housekeeping nature such as salaries, supplies, rentals, and interest, current account also includes operating grants for various programs and organizations such as hospitals, schools and Crown Agencies.

Capital Account - These are expenditures whose benefits normally extend over more than one fiscal year. The types of expenditures included would be construction projects, loans, investments in infrastructure and major equipment purchases. Statutory - Expenditures in this category are specifically authorized by Acts of the Legislature. These payments, such as debt expenses, are made under the Authority of the relevant Acts and do not require annual authorization by the Legislature. Such expenditures can fall under the category of either current account or capital account.

Non-Statutory - These are expenditures which require an annually authorized appropriation of the Legislature prior to the expense being incurred. This authorization is secured when the Legislature votes on the various expenditures during debate of the Estimates. Non-Budge tary Non-budgetary transactions relate primarily to debt redemption and sinking fund payments. Such expenditures are for the repayment of debt previously incurred and the setting aside of funds for the future repayment of debt. Classification of Expenditures Budgetary expenditures are classified into main objects by type of goods or services.

The standard main objects used are as follows: 08. Loans, Advances and Investments 09. Allowances and Assistance 10. Grants and Su bsidies 11. Debt Expens es 1. Salaries 2. Operating Accounts Employee Benefits Transportation and C ommunications Supplies Professional Services Purchased Services Property, Furnishings and Equipment REVENUES Classification of Revenues Revenues are classified into two distinct categories, current revenues and related revenues, both of which include revenues from Provincial and Federal sources. Current Revenues - This category includes Provincially gener
