The horizontal initiatives table, which is published on our website, is a tool that we have augmented and improved following the Auditor General's report and recommendations. It includes all 90-plus programs from the 21 departments. It has been regarding the flow of funds. We have a particular segment and report on the cumulative flow of funds, as well as the expected reimbursements that would be made in the 2022-23 fiscal year, which is $18 billion. That information is available and easily found.
At the end of the 2022-23 fiscal year, we will show what the actual reimbursements were. That is, I think, a way to have easily understandable information to be able to attract the flow of funds.
One context piece that is important to note on infrastructure is that we move money at Infrastructure Canada to allow for the payment and reimbursement of commitments we made over multiple years, but the delays in the construction of infrastructure projects are not within Infrastructure Canada. They're often with municipalities, provinces and territories, and non-profit organizations. When they're building a particular piece of infrastructure, if there are, such as Ms. Bowers mentioned, delays because of supply chain issues, they only get reimbursed after they've built and incurred expenditures. The flow of funds happens after the fact, after construction, after the expenditures. Those delays are often with proponents for a multitude of reasons and that's what each department tracks within their own estimates process, and within their own departmental accountabilities. Then they report to us on a cumulative basis and now we are providing that on our website, showing what the cumulative is, as well as what the annual plan is. Then against that, we show what the annual actual will be.
One point of note, I think, with infrastructure as well, is that, when we look at last year compared to this year, last year the overall for the plan was $48 billion that was claimed and reimbursed. At this point in time, it's about $67 billion, so there was a 41% increase in one year. Also, with infrastructure the flow of funds also is more back-ended than front-ended. When you do an infrastructure project, there's often planning and design, and that happens in the first months or years. The heavy construction, where the more important costs are often involved, is often in the later years. Therefore, you often see later spending rather than earlier spending in types of infrastructure programs.
I hope that provides some context on delays and also what's available in the reporting.
