Canadian classification of functions of government, by general government component [10100024]

End of fiscal year closest to December 31st. The Canadian Classification of Functions of Government (CCOFOG) presented excludes the acquisitions of non-financial assets and consumption of fixed capital expense. At this time, the nonfinancial estimates are not available as the integration work with the Canadian System of Macroeconomic Accounts (CSMA) is in progress. The data provided in this table are not consolidated by eliminating transactions occurring between public sector components and between provinces and territories. For example, grants from a provincial and territorial government to its health and social service institutions are not eliminated and are assigned a functional classification. For this reason, public sector components subtotals are not provided and are strongly advised against, especially to attempt comparison between provinces and territories. Such subtotals would double count all transactions occurring between the public sector components. For the same reason, Canada total for specific public sector components are not provided and are not recommended. Canadian Classification of Functions of Government (CCOFOG) by consolidated government component is available in table 10-10-0005-01. Comparison between provinces and territories for a given public sector component are not recommended since the differences observed may be the result of differences in the administrative structure and organisation of the delivery of government services and functions. Canadian Classification of Functions of Government (CCOFOG) by consolidated government component is available in table 10-10-0005-01. The Canadian Classification of Functions of Government (CCOFOG) is a detailed classification of the functions, or socioeconomic objectives, that general government units aim to achieve through various kinds of outlays. Therefore, by definition, Government Business Enterprises (GBE's) are excluded from this table. General Public services includes all interest payments for government loans (public debt) regardless of the function associated to the incurrence of the debt. Due to different delineations of responsibilities between levels of government across jurisdictions, some functions of government may appear in some provinces and not in others. In cases where expenses could not be specifically identified by function at the lowest level of detail in the source data, they have been included in the not elsewhere classified sub-categories.
