Provincial and territorial gross domestic expenditures on research and development, in the natural sciences and engineering — Quebec
Table summary
The table displays national gross domestic expenditures on research and development in the natural sciences and engineering in Quebec. The row headers show natural science and engineering research and development expenditure data by the funding sectors. The column headers show natural science and engineering research and development expenditure data by the performing sectors. All data in the table are in millions of dollars. These data are presented for 5 years, starting with the most recent year available for provincial data. A note indicates that components may not add to totals due to rounding. A second note explains that performing sector data for the private non-profit sector are only available at the Canada level starting in the year 2000. The third note states that the business enterprise sector's research and development expenditure distribution by source of funds is modelled.

Note(s):
Components may not add to totals due to rounding. Quebec and Ontario figures 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.
