In the department's words
« In 2024-25, actual spending was greater than planned spending due to a realignment among programs to support priorities. »Departmental plan 2024-25, variance explanation. Quoted as is; Lauréo does not comment.« In 2024-25, actual spending was greater than planned spending as part of the expenditures for Water Infrastructure Divestiture were reflected under Real Property instead of the Water Infrastructure Divestiture program inventory. It also reflected amounts carried forward from 2023-24. »Departmental plan 2024-25, variance explanation.« In 2024-25, actual spending was greater than planned spending as projects were pushed from 2023-24 to 2024-25 due to their complexity. Consequently, funding was reallocated to programs with higher demand in 2023-24 and was reallocated back to African Swine Fever Industry Preparedness Program in 2024-25 to meet project demands. »Departmental plan 2024-25, variance explanation.« In 2024-25, there was reduced planned spending as the new funding for the Wine Sector Support Program was not included in last year’s Main Estimates due to timing of its approval; however, it was subsequently included in Supplementary Estimates in 2024-25. »Departmental plan 2024-25, variance explanation.« AgriRecovery is demand-driven. Spending under the framework varies from year-to-year depending on the need for disaster response initiatives. In 2024-25, actual spending was less than planned spending due to a decreased requirement for program support. Only two initiatives were implemented in 2024–25, namely the 2023 Canada-New Brunswick Potato AgriRecovery Initiative and the Canada-Quebec Initiative to Help Mitigate the Impacts of Excess Rainfall in Quebec in 2023. »Departmental plan 2024-25, variance explanation.« In 2024-25, actuals spending was less than planned spending due to timing issues related to project delivery and services which consequently postponed the review, approval and issuance of payments process until later in 2024-25. »Departmental plan 2024-25, variance explanation.« In 2024-25, actual spending was greater than planned spending due to a realignment among programs to support priorities. »Departmental plan 2024-25, variance explanation.« In 2024-25, actual spending was less than than planned spending as part of the expenditures were reflected under Internal Services Real Property. »Departmental plan 2024-25, variance explanation.« Livestock Price Insurance Program protects producers residing in participating provinces against unexpected price declines by allowing them to purchase insurance policies based on an insured price established from a market-driven expected price and a producer selected coverage level. In 2024-25, actual spending was less than planned spending due to a more current costing received from participating provinces which included some planned expenditures being deferred to future years. »Departmental plan 2024-25, variance explanation.« In 2024-25, actual spending was greater than planned spending due to amounts carried forward from 2023-24, compensation provided related to the renewal of collective agreements and it reflected ongoing service delivery improvements. »Departmental plan 2024-25, variance explanation.Authorized vs spent — voted appropriations
