Actual Spending

Actual spending for the year amounted to $185.3 million, an overall increase of $21.9 million over 2012–2013. The increase was due to payments for new collective bargaining settlements, for the termination of severance pay entitlements, and for relocating offices.

The increase in expenditures was partially offset by an increase in revenues from the provision of prosecution services and an increase in legal service rates recovered from other government departments and agencies.
