1. Estimates are subject to change. In particular, estimates for Ontario for 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 may change. Effective in 2004/2005, Ontario financial figures are higher compared to prior years due to changes in the way the province is reporting its school board finances to Statistics Canada.
2. Although there are no universities in the territories, there are expenditures at the university level including student aid as well as administrative expenditures. These expenditures are also included in the provincial data.
3. Nunavut was created on April 1, 1999. Prior to that date, expenditure data for Nunavut were included with data for the Northwest Territories. This creates a break in series for the Northwest Territories in 1999/2000.
Notes: Large year-over-year variations in public and private funding to school boards are caused by accounting adjustments to prior-year surpluses and/or deficits. This means that trends should be observed over a period of years rather than from one year to the next.
Beginning in 2009, dollar amounts in these tables are being presented in current dollars, rather than constant dollars. All indices have been recalculated using the current dollar amounts and a new index base year.
See Table B.2.2 notes for further information on the data.
