0s value rounded to 0 (zero) where there is a meaningful distinction between true zero and the value that was rounded
1. Expenditure on private business colleges are not included.
2. Nunavut was created on April 1, 1999. Prior to that date, data for Nunavut were included with data for the Northwest Territories. This creates a break in series for the Northwest Territories in 1999/2000. The only college in Nunavut did not report tuition fees (which are part of private expenditure) for trade vocational training before 2000/2001.
3. Set to zero. Private expenditure in 2004/05 was negative.
