Federal, provincial and territorial government expenditures on culture, by culture activity [37100068]

Due to changes in methodology, the CANSIM table 505-0003 was created as a replacement to the terminated CANSIM tables 505-0001 and 505-0002. Data in the CANSIM table 505-0003 are not comparable with those in the archived CANSIM tables 505-0001 and 505-0002. Figures may not add to totals due to rounding. Federal government expenditures exclude intramural (operating and capital) expenditures by Human Resources and Social Development Canada directly related to training and employment development in the culture sector.

The provincial breakdown of a small percentage (For example, 3.3% in 2009/2010) of federal operating expenditures by culture activity is estimated by applying the provincial breakdown estimation method to each culture activity. At the provincial level, therefore, this may result in some over- or under-estimation of actual spending for any given culture activity. The same estimation method was used for the 2003/2004 (revised), 2004/2005, 2005/2006, 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 data.
