What Employment and Social Development Canada does

Established in 2005, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) is a federal department responsible for supporting Canadians through social programs and workforce development. It administers key programs such as Employment Insurance (EI), the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Old Age Security (OAS), and skills training initiatives, and it oversees Service Canada, which delivers government services directly to the public.

The department's spending is sensitive to economic conditions and major legislation. Federal income-support programs drove a sharp, temporary increase during the COVID-19 pandemic before spending returned to lower levels in the years that followed.

How did Department of Human Resources and Skills Development spend its budget in 2006-07?

By standard object. Revenues it kept are negative and netted against its spending.

Spending by standard object, 2006-07

Total: $35.6B.

Workforce, 2006-07

A full-time equivalent is a measure of employment, not a headcount: two half-time employees are one FTE. Personnel spending includes benefits and pension contributions, so per FTE it is not an average salary.

Contracts of $10,000 and under

Contracts this small are not published one by one: Treasury Board publishes each organization's totals, by calendar year, for contracts of $10,000 and under (their original value and their amendments) and for acquisition card purchases. They are the value of contracts entered into, not what was paid in a fiscal year, so they are not part of the net expenditure above, and the years are calendar years.
