Budget

Management and co-ordination of the Crown budget process in accordance with the MFEM Act. The timeframe for this process is normally 8-9 months, commencing with the preparation of the Medium-term Fiscal Strategy and publishing of the Budget Policy Statement in December, prior to the passing of each Appropriation Bill.

This process entails coordination and formulation of budget templates for Ministries/Crown Agencies, organizing the selection of a Budget Committee, administration of Budget Committee requests, and compilation of Ministry/Crown Agency budget submissions to the Budget Committee, compiling revenue estimates, and reporting to Cabinet recommendations of the budget committee regarding Budget Submissions.
