⁽¹⁾ In 1996-97, the Canada Health and Social Transfer (CHST) was introduced to replace the Canada Assistance Plan, education support, and insurance and medical care. Since April 2004, the CHST has been divided into the Canada Health Transfer and the Canada Social Transfer. 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.
