In the strict term of expenditures, the department has been going on a higher tangent over the last few years. We went from $800 million in expenditures in 2015-16 and we reached $1.8 billion last year. We are expecting to spend $2.2 billion this fiscal year.
In terms of the lapses, we are currently anticipating a public accounts lapse of $846 million. Of that lapse, $4.9 million is for the operating budget of the organization. It is less than 1% of the budget of the organization, which is pretty good.
We are expecting a lapse of $1 million or 12% on the capital budget. In terms of the grants and contributions budget, it's $841 million.
That being said, we remain committed to spend all the grants and contributions funding that have been provided to the organization. We rarely lapse the funds. We profile those funds into the future years. We are, of course, honouring the budget commitments and ensure the programs are delivered effectively with the best value for Canadians.
All this funding that is in grants and contributions has been re-profiled and approved.
