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

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.

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.
