1Amounts reported as Estimates represent the Voted Appropriations as listed in the Estimates presented to the Legislative Assembly February 17, 2015.2For a breakdown of the Other Authorizations refer to the Ministerial Appropriations.3This schedule differs from other Operating Expenses' schedules and statements. Amounts for Votes as voted on in the Legislative Assembly are compared against spending for the votes in this schedule. Special Accounts spending and other
Statutory Appropriations spending are not included in this schedule unless the Statutory Appropriation was applied to a vote. All amounts that are part of the Contingencies (All Ministries) and New Programs Vote are showing as part of theContingencies and New Programs vote, whereas in other schedules the budget is reallocated to the program to show total spending for that program. See Schedule of Comparison of Estimated Expenses to Actual Expenses in the Public Accounts for acomplete listing of ministry spending. These amounts do not include adjustments to prior year's accrual.

The Budget provided to the Legislative Assembly presents the plans of a ministry or special office to a program level of detail and is based upon anticipatedactivities at the beginning of the year. Actual demands and spending may not entirely accord with those original plans. Amounts are, therefore, voted in theLegislative Assembly at the Vote level and ministries and special offices are free to move budget within the constraints of the total vote to accomplish the primarygoals of the vote. Spending variances within a vote frequently represents such a reallocation of budget between programs.

The Budget provided to the Legislative Assembly presents the plans of a ministry or special office to a program level of detail and is based upon anticipatedactivities at the beginning of the year. Actual demands and spending may not entirely accord with those original plans. Amounts are, therefore, voted in theLegislative Assembly at the Vote level and ministries and special offices are free to move budget within the constraints of the total vote to accomplish the primarygoals of the vote. Spending variances within a vote frequently represents such a reallocation of budget between programs.

The Budget provided to the Legislative Assembly presents the plans of a ministry or special office to a program level of detail and is based upon anticipatedactivities at the beginning of the year. Actual demands and spending may not entirely accord with those original plans. Amounts are, therefore, voted in theLegislative Assembly at the Vote level and ministries and special offices are free to move budget within the constraints of the total vote to accomplish the primarygoals of the vote. Spending variances within a vote frequently represents such a reallocation of budget between programs.

The Budget provided to the Legislative Assembly presents the plans of a ministry or special office to a program level of detail and is based upon anticipatedactivities at the beginning of the year. Actual demands and spending may not entirely accord with those original plans. Amounts are, therefore, voted in theLegislative Assembly at the Vote level and ministries and special offices are free to move budget within the constraints of the total vote to accomplish the primarygoals of the vote. Spending variances within a vote frequently represents such a reallocation of budget between programs.

The Budget provided to the Legislative Assembly presents the plans of a ministry or special office to a program level of detail and is based upon anticipatedactivities at the beginning of the year. Actual demands and spending may not entirely accord with those original plans. Amounts are, therefore, voted in theLegislative Assembly at the Vote level and ministries and special offices are free to move budget within the constraints of the total vote to accomplish the primarygoals of the vote. Spending variances within a vote frequently represents such a reallocation of budget between programs.

1The Budget provided to the Legislative Assembly presents the plans of a ministry or special office to a program level of detail and is based upon anticipatedactivities at the beginning of the year. Actual demands and spending may not entirely accord with those original plans. Amounts are, therefore, voted in theLegislative Assembly at the Vote level and ministries and special offices are free to move budget within the constraints of the total vote to accomplish the primarygoals of the vote. Spending variances within a vote frequently represents such a reallocation of budget between programs.
2The excess in actual expenses over the appropriation amounts was a result of a government reorganization. The excess was offset by savings in another ministryand resulted in no excess spending for the Vote.

The Budget provided to the Legislative Assembly presents the plans of a ministry or special office to a program level of detail and is based upon anticipatedactivities at the beginning of the year. Actual demands and spending may not entirely accord with those original plans. Amounts are, therefore, voted in theLegislative Assembly at the Vote level and ministries and special offices are free to move budget within the constraints of the total vote to accomplish the primarygoals of the vote. Spending variances within a vote frequently represents such a reallocation of budget between programs.

The Budget provided to the Legislative Assembly presents the plans of a ministry or special office to a program level of detail and is based upon anticipatedactivities at the beginning of the year. Actual demands and spending may not entirely accord with those original plans. Amounts are, therefore, voted in theLegislative Assembly at the Vote level and ministries and special offices are free to move budget within the constraints of the total vote to accomplish the primarygoals of the vote. Spending variances within a vote frequently represents such a reallocation of budget between programs.
