1 Calculation methodology may vary slightly from year to year. The definition of interest-bearing debt changed slightly in 2002–03 to reflect the adoption of the full accrual basis of accounting.

During 2007–08, improvements were made to the calculation of the fixed-rate share of the debt to more appropriately reflect the Government's exposure to interest rate risk. The fixed-rate share of the debt is adjusted by excluding components of the debt that are matched with financial assets of the same term and therefore do not represent an exposure to interest rate risk. The federal liabilities netted out from the fixed-rate share calculation include liabilities funding the assets in the Exchange Fund Account; debt securities matched with corresponding loans to Crown corporations; Government of Canada debt held by the Bank of Canada; and the debt offset by Receiver General cash and deposit balances. The fixed-rate share from 2006–07 onwards has been adjusted to reflect this new methodology.
