Actual spending in 2022-23 ($6.8 billion) was less than planned spending ($9.3 billion). The variance is primarily due to conditionality around certain projects and supply chain issues, which have continued to be observed throughout 2022-23. Total actual spending for 2022-23 ($6.8 billion) was less than the total actual spending for 2021-22 ($9.0 billion), which is primarily due to the one-time top-up of the Canada Community-Building Fund ($2.2 billion). Further, there may be delays between when infrastructure activity occurs and when INFC is able to flow funds which is when recipients submit their claims. There are a variety of reasons that can affect the timing of requests for reimbursements, which can contribute to a variance between planned spending and actual spending. Some projects, once approved, move quickly into the construction phase while others have longer lead times for planning, and local approval processes (e.g., zoning and permitting).

Actual full-time equivalents for 2022-23 were 33% higher than actual full-time equivalents in 2021-22. This variance is due to the expansion of Infrastructure Canada's mandate combined with the fact that the Department is still ramping up to deliver an unprecedented level of programming stemming principally from the 2020 Fall Economic Statement and Budget 2021. Infrastructure Canada also inherited the Homelessness portfolio, which was transferred to the Department from Employment and Social Development Canada as of October 26, 2021.

Condensed Statement of Operations (unaudited) for the year ended March 31, 2023 (dollars)

The net cost of operation before government funding and transfers was $6.8 billion, a decrease of $2.6 billion over the expected planned results. The variance can be explained by a combination of a decrease in expenses because of permanent and temporary frozen project funding of $2.0 billion as well as a decrease in expected expenditures of $0.6 billion because of project slippage. INFC will request to reprofile eligible lapses to future years.
