1 The 2004-2005 Main Estimates for CRA included corporate support resources which were transferred to CBSA through 2004-2005 Supplementary Estimates A.
2 Subsequent tables balance to these amounts as applicable, and do not reflect amounts relating to the February 23, 2005 Federal Budget Announcements.
3 This reflects changes to planned program spending for the upcoming planning period as a result of 2005 Budget Announcements.
4 This reflects the reduction to the Agency's planned spending, including Employee Benefit Plans, as a result of the ERC exercise announced in the 2005 Budget – more information will be provided in the next Supplementary Estimates.

While the planned spending total is relatively stable over the planning period, the CRA is facing a number of critical challenges. These include sustaining the integrity of existing core activities while at the same time being in a position to undertake promising opportunities to enhance service to individuals and businesses, lower overall costs of government, and target specific compliance risks. Previous productivity improvements and reallocations have helped the Agency manage increased volumes and complexity. The Agency will remain aggressive in this approach not only to meet government-wide reallocation initiatives but also to partially fund new internal requirements and priorities. However, a stable and appropriate long term business sustainability strategy can only be successful if an agreement is reached on a resourcing arrangement to compensate for the non-discretionary annual growth in transactional volumes.
