Note(s):
  • Conceptual changes were implemented for the 2016/2017 survey cycle to account for non-program costs (indirect costs). The value of services provided without charge to the responding department by other federal government departments will not be added. As a result, data for 2010/2011 onward are not comparable with data for previous years.
  • The extramural performer category of "Other Canadian Performers" has been removed from the questionnaire as of 2016/2017.
