Explanatory Notes for Tables on Federal Support to Provinces and Territories

Totals may not add due to rounding and are subject to regular revision.

CHT figures include the 2004 CHST Supplement for Health ($1 billion in 2005–06) and the 2003 CHST Supplement ($310 million in 2005–06).

CST figures include the 2003 CHST Supplement ($190 million in 2005-06). Effective in 2007-08, the CST is notionally earmarked to improve transparency of federal support for social programs, post-secondary education, and programs for children. CST notional amounts do not include transition protection payments included in budgets 2007 and 2008. CST includes a one-time payment for the creation of child care spaces for 2007-08 (Budget 2007). Funding is included in CST beginning in 2008-09.

Prior to 2009–10, wait times reduction funding to provinces and territories was allocated through a trust fund.

Provinces and territories also receive CHT and CST support through a tax transfer. CHT and CST tax transfers amount to $13.1 billion and $8 billion respectively in 2010-11, and will continue to grow in line with the economy.

Infrastructure funding includes notional allocations available under the Gas Tax Fund ($13 billion over 9 years), the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund ($4 billion over 2 years), the Provincial Territorial Base Fund (PTBF) ($2.275 billion over 7 years), the Knowledge Infrastructure Program (KIP) ($2 billion over two years), the Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund ($1 billion over 5 years), the 2006 Public Transit Capital Trust ($900 million over 3 years), the Top up to the Communities Component ($500 million over two years), the Recreational Infrastructure Canada ($500 million over 2 years), and the Public Transit Fund ($400 million in 2005-06).

Also includes the provincial/territorial share of base funding of the Building Canada Fund ($8.8 billion over 7 years) and the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative ($1 billion over 8 years). These figures also include actual amounts transferred from the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund (CSIF) ($4 billion), Infrastructure Canada Fund (ICP) ($4 billion over 2 years) and the Border Infrastructure Fund (BIF) ($600 million). Amounts from 2009-10 onward for the BIF and the CSIF are estimates based on forecasted transfers. Where funding is provided in the form of a multi-year allocation, the total allocation is divided into equal per-year amounts, or is calculated on a per capita basis for the purpose of this task. Note that these figures may not coincide with actual funding flows.

The totals for Canada represent budget allocation at the national level for all programs except ICP and CSIF. For terms and conditions of the federal infrastructure transfers to provinces and territories, consult http://www.infc.gc.ca/infc-eng.html.

Provinces and territories also benefit from national initiatives under the Building Canada Plan such as the $5.8 billion GST rebate, the $2.1 billion Gateways and Border Crossings Fund and the $1.25 billion P3 Fund. In addition, Canada's Economic Action Plan in Budget 2009 includes initiatives such as the 5-year $1 billion Green Infrastructure Fund and investments in First Nations.

The Government also provided support for short-term targeted policy initiatives, such as the one-year provision for phased-out early learning and child care ($650 million) in 2006-07, and 2004 Northern Economic Development ($20 million) from 2005-06 to 2008-09. It further provided support to provinces and territories through trust funds prior to Budget 2007. The amounts are not included in the tables.
