Note 1: The CRTC retains respendable (vote netted) revenue to fund its operating budget.
Note 2: The Commission's broadcasting and telecommunications fee regulations have a provision whereby the Commission is able to adjust the annual fees (Part I Broadcasting Licence Fees and Telecommunications Fees) to take into account the Commission's actual expenditures on both broadcasting and telecommunications activities during the fiscal year. The adjustments represent the difference between the estimated costs initially billed in a previous fiscal year and the actual costs incurred, and are accounted for as non-respendable revenue.
In November 2007, Treasury Board approved a two-year increase to the Commission's budget for 2007–08 and 2008–09 (Broadcasting Circular CRTC 2007-9 and Telecom Circular CRTC 2007-18, dated December 21, 2007). The Commission's actual expenses associated with this increase are being recovered as part of the telecommunications industry's billing adjustments for 2008–09 and 2009–10, and as part of the broadcasting licence fee payers' billing adjustments for 2009–10 and 2010–11.
Note 3: Non-respendable revenue for Part I broadcasting-licence fees and CRTC telecommunications fees recovers the costs incurred by other federal government departments for most services (excluding Industry Canada spectrum management) rendered without charge to the CRTC and the statutory costs of employee benefit plans. Part II broadcasting-licence fees are also considered to be non-respendable revenue.
