salaries, wages and benefits (the personnel standard object)
Personnel spending per FTE
$121K
personnel spending divided by full-time equivalents
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.

The grants, contributions and other transfers Canadian Space Agency paid, program by program: $32.7M in all, against $32.7M for the transfer payments object above (the Public Accounts publish the two tables separately).

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.
