The Empire's youngest fighting field marshal was appointed Governor
General of Canada last week. From London and Ottawa came
simultaneous announcements of the appointment of 53-year-old Sir
Harold Rupert Leofric George Alexander, K.C.B., C.B., C.S.I.,
D.S.O., M.C., one of Britain's ablest soldiers.

After Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov, 67, was abruptly removed last

Canadians who fought under him knew Irish-born Field Marshal
Alexander as a good soldier, a crack commander and a "simple,
sensible type of fellow" to boot. He had been at Dunkirk, had
commanded the British retreat in Burma, and the victorious campaigns
in North Africa, Tunisia, Sicily, Italy.
But in their guesses about a successor to the tall, soldierly Earl
of Athlone, 71, few Canadians had included the onetime director of
the grim Italian campaign (and of the U.S. Eighth Army). Some,
particularly French Canadians, wanted to break with tradition and
have a Canadian named for the job. They thought that Canada's
sovereignty would thus be more clearly demonstrated. Some of the
British-born appointees, they thought, had been oppressively
overstuffed. Others, particularly the more Anglophile Canadians,
felt that another of royal blood should succeed Athlone, who is King
George VI's uncle. Such a selection would not weaken the link with
the British Crown.
The appointment of Alexander was a neat solution. Said the Ottawa
Evening Journal: "[He] is peculiarly qualified to give this country
service far beyond his ritualistic duties." But many French
Canadians were unsoothed. Cried the nationalist Le Droit: "Once more
Mr. King has gone to Great Britain for Canada's Governor General.
The diehard imperialists once more have gained their ends."
Next spring, the 17th Governor General of Canada since
Confederation, his wife (the former Lady Margaret Diana Bingham) and
three children will move into Rideau Hall, the spacious Governor
General's residence at Rockcliffe, a suburb of Ottawa. He will
represent King George VI in Canada, and like the King, will act only
on the advice of the Government. He will be expected to remain aloof
from politics. Quiet, self-effacing Field Marshal Alexander was
reported to be the choice of Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie
King.
His salary ($48,666,63 a year) will be paid by Canada. He will also
receive a $69,000 allowance for traveling and maintaining his
household; $103,000 for secretarial staff, plus an allowance for
keeping up Rideau Hall.

Responsibility Responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of
the accompanying financial statements for the year ended March 31,
2006, and all information contained in these statements rests with
the management of the Office of the Secretary to the Governor
General (OSGG). These financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies, which are
consistent with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
for the public sector.
> Management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of
the information in these financial statements. Some of the
information in the financial statements is based on management's
best estimates and judgment and gives due consideration to
materiality. To fulfil its accounting and reporting
responsibilities, management maintains a set of accounts that
provides a centralized record of the OSGG`s financial transactions.
Financial information submitted to the Public Accounts of Canada is
consistent with these financial statements.
> Management maintains a system of financial management and
internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance that
financial information is reliable, that assets are safeguarded and
that transactions are in accordance with the Financial
Administration Act, are executed in accordance with prescribed
regulations, within Parliamentary authorities, and are properly
recorded to maintain accountability of Government funds. Management
also seeks to ensure the objectivity and integrity of data in its
financial statements by careful selection, training and development
of qualified staff, by organizational arrangements that provide
appropriate divisions of responsibility, and by communication
programs aimed at ensuring that regulations, policies, standards and
managerial authorities are understood throughout the OSGG.

> 1. Authority and Objectives The Office of the Secretary to the
Governor General (OSGG) was constituted through letters patent on
October 1, 1947. The OSGG forms part of the core public
administration under Schedule IV of the Financial Administration
Act.
> The primary objectives of the OSGG are to enable the governor
general, representing the Crown in Canada, to fulfill State and
ceremonial public duties, including the recognition of excellence.
The OSGG also provides for expenditures in respect of pensions and
activities performed by former governors general. To reflect these
objectives, the operations of the OSGG are divided into two program
activities:
>
> Constitutional, State, Ceremonial and Public Programs support
to the governor general for program planning and implementation,
communications, citizen access and visitor services, and to support
activities performed by former governors general; and,
> Canadian Honours Program The Honours Program includes the
administration of Canadian orders, decorations, medals and awards as
well as the Canadian Heraldic Authority.
>
> 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with Treasury Board
accounting policies, which are consistent with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles for the public sector.
> Significant accounting policies are as follows:
>
> Parliamentary appropriationsthe OSGG is financed by the
Government of Canada through parliamentary appropriations.
Appropriations provided to the OSGG do not parallel financial
reporting according to generally accepted accounting principles
since appropriations are primarily based on cash flow requirements.
Consequently, items recognized in the statement of operations and
the statement of financial position are not necessarily the same as
those provided through appropriations from Parliament. Note 3
provides a high-level reconciliation between the two bases of
reporting.
> Net cash provided by the GovernmentThe OSGG operates within
the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), which is administered by the
Receiver General for Canada. All cash received by the OSGG is
deposited to the CRF and all cash disbursements made by the OSGG are
paid from the CRF. The net cash provided by the Government is the
difference between all cash receipts and all cash disbursements
including transactions between other departments of the federal
government.
> Change in net position in the Consolidated Revenue Fund is the
difference between the net cash provided by the Government and
appropriations used in a year, excluding the amount of non-
respendable revenue recorded by the OSGG. It results from timing
differences between when a transaction affects appropriations and
when it is processed through the CRF.
> RevenuesRevenues are accounted for in the period in which the
underlying transaction or event occurred that gave rise to the
revenues.
> Funds received from external parties for specified purposes
are recorded upon receipt as deferred revenues. These revenues are
recognized in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.
>
> ExpensesExpenses are recorded on the accrual basis:
> Vacation pay and compensatory leave are expensed as the
benefits accrue to employees under their respective terms of
employment.
> Services provided without charge by other government
departments and Crown corporations for accommodation, the employer`s
contribution to the health and dental insurance plans and legal
services are recorded as operating expenses at their estimated
costs.
>
> Employee future benefits:
> Pension benefits: Eligible employees participate in the
Public Service Superannuation Plan, administered by the Government
of Canada. The OSGG's contributions to the Plan are charged to
expenses in the year incurred and represent the total departmental
obligation to the Plan. Current legislation does not require the
OSGG to make contributions for any actuarial deficiencies of the
Plan.
> Severance benefits: Employees are entitled to severance
benefits under labour contracts or conditions of employment. These
benefits are accrued as employees render the services necessary to
earn them. The obligation relating to the benefits earned by
employees is calculated using information derived from the results
of the actuarially determined liability for employee severance
benefits for the Government as a whole.
>
> Accounts receivable are stated at amounts expected to be
ultimately realized; a provision is made for receivables where
recovery is considered uncertain.
> Gift shop inventoryGift shop inventory is valued at the lower
of cost or net realizable value.
> Medals and official giftsMedals for the Order of Canada
insignia and other honours, held for distribution in the future, are
recorded at original cost.
> Tangible capital assetsAll tangible capital assets and
leasehold improvements having an initial cost of $5,000 or more are
recorded at their acquisition cost. The OSGG does not capitalize
intangibles, works of art and historical treasures that have
cultural, aesthetic or historical value, or museum collections.
Amortization of tangible capital assets is done on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
> Asset Class
> Amortization period
> Informatics hardware
> 3 years
> Informatics software
> 7 years
> Motor vehicles
> 5 years
> Other Equipment
> 10 years
>
>
>
> Annuity payments to former governors generalPursuant to
provisions contained within the Governor General's Act and the
Supplementary Retirement Benefits Act, taxable annuities are paid
to: (i) former governors general; and (ii) surviving spouses of
former governors general. These annuities are indexed annually to
the Consumer Price Index and are recognized as an expense in the
period in which payment is due.
> Measurement uncertaintyThe preparation of these financial
statements in accordance with Treasury Board accounting policies,
which are consistent with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles for the public sector, requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the financial
statements. At the time of preparation of these statements,
management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable.
The most significant items where estimates are used are the
liability for employee severance benefits and the useful life of
tangible capital assets. Actual results could significantly differ
from those estimated. Management's estimates are reviewed
periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are recorded
in the financial statements in the year they become known.
>
> 3. Parliamentary Appropriations The OSGG receives most of its
funding through annual parliamentary appropriations. Items
recognized in the statement of operations and the statement of
financial position in one year may be funded through parliamentary
appropriations in prior, current or future years. Accordingly, the
OSGG has different net results of operations for the year on a
Government-funding basis than on an accrual accounting basis. The
differences are reconciled in the following tables:

> 9. Employee Benefits (a) Pension benefits: The employees of the
OSGG participate in the public service pension plan, which is
sponsored and administered by the Government of Canada. Pension
benefits accrue up to a maximum period of 35 years at a rate of 2
percent per year of pensionable service, times the average of the
best five consecutive years of earnings. The benefits are integrated
with the Canada/Quebec pension plans benefits and they are indexed
to inflation.
> Both the employees and the OSGG contribute to the cost of the
plan. The 2005-06 expense amounts to $1,518,288 ($1,388,749 in 2004-
05), which represents approximately 2.6 times the contributions by
employees.
> The OSGG's responsibility with regard to the plan is limited to
its contributions. Actuarial surpluses or deficiencies are
recognized in the financial statements of the Government of Canada,
as the plan's sponsor.
> (b) Severance benefits: The OSGG provides severance benefits to
its employees based on eligibility, years of service and final
salary. These severance benefits are not pre-funded. Benefits will
be paid from future appropriations. Information about the severance
benefits measured as at March 31, is as follows:
> 2006 2005 (in dollars) Accrued
benefits obligation, beginning of year 1,909,818 1,891,716
Expense for the year 435,224 437,749 Benefits paid during the
year (198,391) (419,647) Accrued benefits obligation, end of
year 2,146,651 1,909,818
> 10. Related Party Transactions The OSGG is related as a result
of common ownership to all Government of Canada departments,
agencies and Crown corporations. The OSGG enters into transactions
with these entities in the normal course of business and on normal
trade terms. Also, during the year, the OSGG received services that
were obtained without charge from other government departments as
presented in part (a).
> (a) Services provided without charge:
> During the year the OSGG received without charge from other
departments: accommodation, legal fees and the employer's
contribution to the health and dental insurance plans. These
services without charge have been recognized in the OSGG's Statement
of Operations as follows:
> 2006 2005 (in dollars)
Accommodation provided by Public Works and Government Services
Canada and the National Capital Commission 5,655,000
5,586,000 Employer's contribution to the health insurance plan
and dental insurance plans paid by Treasury Board 862,000
867,000 Legal services provided by Justice Canada 54,000
49,000 Total 6,571,000 6,502,000 In addition to the above,
there are a number of other government departments that support the
activities of the governor general and the OSGG as part of their
mandate. The level of support and services provided to the OSGG is
determined by each of the contributors and funded out of the budgets
of those organizations. The various contributing departments are
responsible for allocating and managing the funds they provide to
support the activities of the governor general and the OSGG and are
subject to Treasury Board guidelines. The amounts spent by the
departments in question
> do not appear in the accounts of the OSGG, nor are they recorded
as operating expenses by the OSGG.
> The major departments providing support include: Public Safety
Canada (RCMP) for protective/security services; the Department of
National Defence for transportation services, ceremonial support,
logistical support and photographic services; Foreign Affairs and
International Trade Canada for foreign policy advice and
foreign/state visit support; the Department of Canadian Heritage for
planning and conduct of State and ceremonial occasions including
royal visits and State funerals.
> Furthermore, the Government has structured some of its
administrative activities for efficiency and cost-effectiveness
purposes so that one department performs these on behalf of others
without charge. The costs of these services, which include payroll
and cheque issuance services provided by Public Works and Government
Services Canada, are not included as an expense in the OSGG's
Statement of Operations.
