Fiscal years 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 represent actual expenditures as reported in the Public Accounts.
In 2019-20, Infrastructure Canada's total spending was over $8.9 billion. Departmental spending continued to rise, as it has over the previous two years. Expenditures under voted spending, in particular, are more than twice the amount spent two years ago, and considerably higher than what was spent last year.
Voted spending increases are largely due to more infrastructure projects being completed, or reaching construction milestones that triggered payments from Infrastructure Canada, including a large milestone payment for the Samuel De Champlain Bridge Corridor project.
Statutory funding from the federal Gas Tax Fund received a top-up in the amount of $2.1 billion in 2019-20, bringing the total to $4.3 billion for this program.

Total authorities available for use in 2019-20 ($11.1 billion) were greater than the actual spending in 2019-20 ($8.9 billion). The variance of $2.2 billion is mainly due to large project negotiations taking longer than expected and impacting forecasts, the emergence of COVID having a direct impact on ultimate recipients' operations, delays in project approvals and submissions to INFC than originally planned, and delays in the finalization of the construction of the Samuel De Champlain Bridge Corridor project.
Total actual spending for 2019-20 ($8.9 billion) was greater than 2018-19 ($5.7 billion). This variance is due to Budget 2018 one-time top-up of the Gas Tax Fund of $2.1 billion, in addition to $1.1 billion in payments to the Private Partner responsible for the construction of the Samuel De Champlain Bridge Corridor project for reaching construction milestones.
Finally, the 2019-20 planned spending demonstrates an increase from the 2018-19 planned spending as the Department received new funding originally announced in Budget 2018 and the 2017 Fall Economic Statement.
