Vol. 30, no. 6 Federal government expenditures on scientific activities, 2006/2007 This bulletin presents recent statistical information on the performance and funding of federal government expenditures on scientific activities, 2006/2007. The statistics presented are derived from the survey of science and technology (S&T) activities of federal departments and agencies. The data in this publication are consistent with expenditures of departments and agencies as reported in the Main Estimates 2006/2007, but do not reflect changes to 2006/2007 spending plans which may result from supplementary estimates or other departmental planning decisions. Highlights ► The federal government’s science and technology (S&T) spending intentions for 2006/2007 are $9.2 billion, 62% of which will be allocated to research and experimental development (R&D) and 38% to related scientific activities (RSA). Relative to 2005/2006, this is a slight decline of 0.5% for science and technology (S&T) activities and 1.5% for research and experimental development (R&D). On the other hand, federal expenditures on related scientific activities (RSA) are expected to increase by 1.3%. ► Between 1998 and 2001, federal government spending on science and technology (S&T), research and experimental development (R&D) and related scientific activities (RSA) grew an average of 8.8% a year (in constant dollars). Between 2002 and 2005, however, the growth rate was just 0.5% for science and technology (S&T) spending by the federal government (in constant dollars). ► For 2006/2007, the federal government’s Main Estimates are up 6.8%. This increase will cause a decline in federal spending on science and technology (S&T), research and experimental development (R&D) and related scientific activities (RSA) as a percentage of the Main Estimates. ► In 2006/2007, 53% ($4.9 billion) of the science and technology (S&T) expenditures will be earmarked for activities performed by the federal government itself. For research and experimental development (R&D) and related scientific activities (RSA), the percentage of intramural spending will be 38% and 77%. ► The majority of federal government funding will go to natural science and engineering activities (75% in 2006/2007), including (73%) for research and experimental development (R&D). ► For 2006/2007, 71% of federal government funding allocated to the social sciences and humanities will be spent on related scientific activities, such as data collection, information services as well as special services and studies. September 2006 Vol. 30, no. 6 Service Bulletin Science Statistics ► The federal government departments and agencies with the largest estimated expenditures on science and technology (S&T) activities in 2006/2007 are the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, the National Research Council of Canada, Environment Canada, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Statistics Canada, which together account for 42% of the federal government’s total science and technology expenditures. The questionnaire on scientific activities is designed to correspond as much as possible to the system of budgetary estimates used by the federal government. This is done to ease the response burden, assist in editing and, most importantly, to produce comparable data for policy planning and program evaluation. Thus the questionnaire covers the same time span as the Estimates including: proposed estimates for the coming fiscal year, i.e. 2006/2007; forecast expenditures for the current fiscal year, i.e. 2005/2006 and, actual expenditures for the past fiscal year, i.e. 2004/2005 (also reported in the Public Accounts). As well as the expenditures attributable to program budgets, there are additional costs attributable to scientific activities which must be included if a full picture of the resources devoted to science activities is to be obtained. These include other sources of funds and other S&T costs which are defined below: Budgetary sources - as expressed in the Main Estimates: - Own departmental budget. - Other federal agencies - transfers into the program from other federal government departments and agencies, net of transfers out. External sources: Income from other sources such as industry and provincial governments. Other S&T costs: Non-program costs (indirect costs) are costs that are not part of the budgets of scientific programs and include services provided by other departments, such as: - accommodation by Public Works and Government Services Canada and own department - employer's share of health and employment insurance premiums paid by Treasury Board - employee compensation under Workers Compensation Acts paid by Social Development Canada - cost of legal services provided by the Department of Justice Canada - cheques issue cost by Public Works and Government Services Canada - overhead - portion of a central administration program costs attributable to scientific activities Note to users For the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 fiscal years, non-program costs have been calculated differently to prior years. This is due to the fact the federal departments Part III Report on Plans and Priorities; 2006-2007 Estimates are not yet available. Once these documents are available, the estimates will be revised. In order to calculate non-program costs for fiscal years 2005-2006 and 2006-2007, information on services provided without charge by other departments and counts of full-time equivalents published in the Part III Report on Plans and Priorities; 20052006 Estimates have been used. The non-program costs for 2004-2005 have been calculated using federal departments 20042005 Departmental Performance Reports (www.tbs.gc.ca). If there has been any additional funding to the federal science and technology based departments for 2005-2006 and 2006-2007, these figures will appear in the revised estimates once the Part III Report on Plans and Priorities; 2006-2007 Estimates have been tabled.
