Reports through Parliament; the overview shows it in that ministry.

How did House of Commons spend its budget in 2023-24?

By standard object. Revenues it kept are negative and netted against its spending. Transfer payments are broken into their largest named programs.

Spending by standard object, 2023-24

Total: $638M.

Spending by program, 2023-24

The same net spending by program, as GC InfoBase reports program actuals: $638M in all. Select a program for its history, plans and results.

Workforce, 2023-24

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, 2023-24

The grants, contributions and other transfers House of Commons paid, program by program: $1.4M in all, against $1.4M for the transfer payments object above (the Public Accounts publish the two tables separately).
