16. Comment(s) on Variance(s): The variance between planned spending and actual
spending within Grants is explained by a $1M re-profile from 2007–2008 and funding of $300K received from Canadian
Heritage through the Interdepartmental Partnership with the Official Language Communities. The variance between
planned spending and total authorities within contributions is explained by a $1.9M re-profile from 2007–08. The variance of $1.2M between planned and actual spendings in WPF was due to a number of factors: 2009–2010 commitments against the WPF are significant and SWC was unable to recommend a number of projects due to pressures against the 2009–2010 budget, several organizations were unable to spend their approved funding, and the development of some of the proposals took longer than expected, which led to delays in submission and approval. 17.

Towards Gender
Responsive Budgeting: Rising to the Challenge of Achieving Gender Equality (tabled on June 12, 2008, and on
February 26, 2009). The 27 recommendations outlined in this report focused on: the governance and management of GBA and gender equality as they relate to interdepartmental committees and a working group on gender equality indicators; the establishment of an advisory panel of experts; training of members of the Parliamentary Standing Committees and of Cabinet members; gender research and data collection activities; and elements such as the appointment of a Commissioner of Gender Equality and the establishment of GBA units within central agencies. SWC, in consultation with Finance Canada, the Treasury Board Secretariat and the Privy Council Office, led the preparation of the Government response to the report. http://www2.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?DocId=3683704&Language=E&Mode=1&Parl=40&Ses=2 |
Response to the Auditor General (including to the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development) |
The December 2008 Report
of the Auditor General of Canada examined specific elements of the federal government’s regime of governance for
small entities – the arrangements by which central agencies oversee the management of these entities. SWC was chosen
as one of the small entities to participate in the audit. The Treasury Board Secretariat, the Privy Council Office,
and the Canada Public Service Agency led the preparation of the response to the report’s recommendations. http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/parl_oag_200812_02_e_31826.html#hd3a The March 2009 Report of the Auditor General of Canada examined the federal government’s process for making Governor in Council appointments to Crown corporations, small federal entities, and the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. SWC was chosen as one of the small entities to participate in the audit. The Privy Council Office and the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada led the preparation of the response to the report’s recommendations. http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/parl_oag_200903_02_e_32289.html#hd3a |
