3 The CNSC’s accounts are independently audited annually by the Office of the Auditor General. The financial statements, including Reports on Plans and Priorities, Departmental Performance Reports, and Annual Reports, can be found at the following CNSC Web site: http://www.nuclearsafety.gc.ca/eng/readingroom/reports/index.cfm
The overall distribution of CNSC expenditures has remained largely constant since 2007-08 with the notable exception of the Licensing and Certification program activity which has grown from 23% of total expenditures in 2007-08 to 35% in 2008-09. Previously the second largest program activity at the CNSC, Licensing and Certification now represents the largest activity due primarily to the growth in regulatory licensing activities and pre-licensing design reviews of new nuclear power plants and uranium mines.
The following tables can be found online on the CNSC’s Web site:
