Explanatory Notes for Tables on Federal Support to Provinces and Territories

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.

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 $14.7 billion and $9.0 billion respectively in 2012-13, and will continue to grow in line with the economy.

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.
