History and lineage

First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2018-19. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).

All required reports to the IAEA were submitted. However, 29 such reports were submitted late by licensees, which in turn meant late submissions from the CNSC to the IAEA. Two additional reports were submitted late, unrelated to licensee delays. The lateness of reports did not impact the IAEA's ability to draw its safeguards conclusions for Canada.
