Note(s):
Components may not add to totals due to rounding. Quebec and Ontario
figures exclude federal government expenditures on research and development
performed in the National Capital Region. 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 private non-profit sector performing research and development
are not distributed by provinces, territories or the National Capital Region.
The national totals of research and development by performing sector include
the PNP sector. The data for the private non-profit sector funding research
and development continue to be distributed by provinces, territories and the
National Capital Region.
