Personnel spending

salaries, wages and benefits (the personnel standard object)
Personnel spending per FTE
$96K
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.
Transfer payment programs, 2015-16
The grants, contributions and other transfers Public Services and Procurement Canada paid, program by program: $310 in all, against $0 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.
