On April 27, 2004, Canada's new National Security Policy was unveiled.

OBS

The first enactment of revenue-sharing legislation was the inclusion of the Coastal Energy Impact Program(CEIP) in the Coastal Zone Management Act in 1976. The CEIP provided grants, loans, and loan guarantees to assist coastal states with costs of public services, infrastructure, and preventing or ameliorating the loss of valuable environmental or recreational resources caused by coastal and OCS oil and gas development. Allocation of funds under this program to individual states was based on the amount of OCS acreage leased for oil and gas development(50% weight), volume of oil and gas produced offshore each state(25% weight), and volume of oil and gas first landed in each state(25% weight). The Reagan administration stopped funding the CEIP and Congress repealed the program in 1990.

Application of the Personnel Transfer Price Liability : According to the TB [Treasury Board] Manager's Guide to Operating Budgets, when managers transfer funds from other operating expenditures to salary and wages, for example to hire additional staff, they must set aside a Transfer Price of 20 percent of the actual salary. Conversely, if managers reduce the salary base by reallocating a portion to operating expenditures, they are entitled to a credit of 20 percent. The Transfer Price Adjustment ensures that managers recognize and compensate for personnel costs that are not within their budget allocation.
