Note(s):
Components may not add to totals due to rounding. Quebec and Ontario
figures now include 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 or territories.
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 and territories. The
provincial and territorial distribution by sources of funds of the business
enterprise sector R&D expenditures is derived through a modeling system,
which prorates values based on reported business enterprise provincial and
territorial R&D. Data for the National Capital Region (NCR) are now available
in Appendix 1 at the end of this publication.
