Notes:
Consumption-based data are presented in terms of the consuming sector rather than the one making the expenditures. Estimates in this table are calculated by dividing the purchasing power parities by the annual exchange rate (United States cents per Canadian dollar). These data allow a comparison of the general price level in the two countries. A value greater than 100 indicates a higher relative price for the U.S.; a value less than 100 indicates a lower relative price.
