Note(s):
As a result of changes in methodology, data for 2007/2008 should not be compared with data that were released prior to the revised 2003/2004 data. The provincial breakdown of a small percentage (3.8%) of federal operating expenditures by culture activity is estimated by applying the provincial breakdown estimation method to each culture activity. At the provincial level, therefore, this may result in some over- or under-estimation of actual spending for any given culture activity.
