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 "Other" category may include, among others,
revenue from investments, research sales, and general interest earnings.
Interest from lawyer's trust accounts dropped
from 2009/2010 due to low interest rates. Government Contributions
decreased because of a one-time adjustment to the plan's pension and severance
accruals made in 2009/2010.
Total revenue includes client contributions
credited to the Government of the Northwest Territories consolidated revenue
fund and are not available to the plan.
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 refer to the glossary.
