Does the Government maintain records showing the extent to which it is contractually committed for each fiscal year beyond 1983-84 for leases and other goods and services and (a) if not, for what reason (b) if so, for each year, what is the dollar value of those contractual commitments?

Mr. John Evans (Parliamentary Secretary to President of the Privy Council):

I am informed by the Departments of

Public Works and Supply and Services as follows: For leases, yes; for goods and services, no.

(a) The Department of Supply and Services, as the main contractor of government goods and services, does not keep records of the global amount of long-term commitments. In order to provide a global amount, each department would have to look to individual transactions which in time and money would be prohibitive.

The foregoing amounts include short term crown-lease contracts and long term lease-purchase contracts the latter normally covering a period of up to 35 years. This explains the abrupt reduction of commitments in the year 2014. Moreover, the amounts exclude operating and other costs which can only be committed on an annual basis at the start of each fiscal year. A further point to recognize is that commitment values change from month to month due to new leases entered into and old lease terminations.
