Note(s):
Components may not add to totals due to rounding. Quebec and Ontario figures exclude federal government expenditures on research and development (R&D) performed in the National Capital Region (NCR). Therefore, the gross domestic expenditure on research and development to gross domestic product (GERD/GDP) ratios for Ontario and Quebec do not include the R&D expenditures of the Ontario or Quebec components of the NCR. The private non-profit (PNP) sector appears in both the performing and funding sector for the gross domestic expenditure on research and development (GERD) for Canada. Commencing with reference year 2000 the data for the PNP sector performing R&D are not distributed by provinces, territories or the NCR. The national totals of R&D by performing sector include the PNP sector. The data for the PNP sector funding research and development continue to be distributed by provinces, territories and the NCR.
