What Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada does

Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada (HICC) is responsible for federal policies and programs that support public infrastructure, affordable housing, and community development. Working with provinces, territories, and municipalities, it funds major infrastructure projects and administers the National Housing Strategy, which supports the construction, repair, and preservation of affordable housing. It also oversees the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and supports public transit, clean energy, and community infrastructure through programs such as the Canada Infrastructure Bank.

Personnel spending per FTE

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.

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.
