Notes: Due to a break in the series following the introduction of full accrual accounting, data from 1983-84 are not directly comparable with earlier years.
The amounts reported for 1983-84 onward reflect the estimated impact of consolidating foundations, as at May 2, 2006.
These amounts may be revised in the 2006 Fiscal Reference Tables to be published in the fall, based on the actual impact to be reported in the Public Accounts of Canada 2006.
