1. Estimates are subject to change. In particular. estimates for Ontario for 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 may change.
2. Although there are no universities in the territories. there are expenditures at the university level. including student aid as well as administrative expenditures. These expenditures are also included in the provincial data.
3. Nunavut was created on April 1. 1999. Prior to that date. data for Nunavut were included with data for the Northwest Territories. This creates a break in series for the Northwest Territories in 1999/2000. The only college in Nunavut did not report tuition fees (which are part of private expenditure) for trade vocational training before 2000/2001.
