In order to create constant dollar figures
with the effects of inflation removed, figures were converted to a base of 2002=100 using
Statistics Canada's Consumer Price Index.
The population estimates used to calculate
per capita figures are provided by Statistics Canada, Census and Demographic
Statistics, Demography Division. Populations as of July 1st: final postcensal
estimates for 2004 and 2005; updated postcensal estimates for 2006 and 2007;
and preliminary postcensal estimates for 2008.
Note(s):
When summed, provincial/territorial contributions (Table 3) plus federal contributions (Table 2)
may not equal total government contributions (Table 1) for the following
reasons: (i) the total government contributions figure in Table 1 is
provided by the legal aid plans, whereas the provincial/territorial and federal
contributions figures are obtained from the appropriate government department;
(ii) any difference in accounting methods (i.e. cash versus accrual) may cause
differences in the fiscal period that contributions are accounted for; and
(iii) legal aid plans may have submitted back claims to the federal government,
which are accounted for in the total government contributions figure. For
more details on legal aid concepts and terminology please refer to the glossary.
