Commitments
4 (1) Where an item in the Estimates referred to in section 2 confers authority to enter into commitments up to an amount stated in those Estimates or increases the amount up to which commitments may be entered into under any other Act, or where a commitment is to be entered into under subsection (2), the commitment may be entered into in accordance with the terms of that item or in accordance with subsection (2) if the amount of the commitment proposed to be entered into, together with all previous commitments entered into in accordance with this section or under that other Act, does not exceed the total amount of the commitment authority stated in that item or calculated in accordance with subsection (2).
Commitment limits — revenue-spending authority
(2) Where an item in the Estimates referred to in section 2 or a provision of any Act confers authority to spend revenues, commitments may be entered into in accordance with the terms of that item or provision up to an amount equal to the aggregate of
(a) the amount, if any, appropriated in respect of that item or provision, and
(b) the amount of revenues actually received or, in the case of an item in those Estimates, the estimated revenues set out in the details related to the item, whichever is greater.

6 (1) An appropriation that is granted by this Act or any other Act and referred to in Schedule 2 may be charged after the end of the fiscal year following the fiscal year for which the appropriation is granted at any time before the day on which the Public Accounts for that second fiscal year are tabled in Parliament, for the purpose of making adjustments in the accounts of Canada for that second fiscal year that do not require payments out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund.
Order of payment
