Data on general university funds are not available at the provincial level. To convert these current dollar data to constant dollar amounts for comparison over time, it is recommended that the gross domestic product (GDP) Implicit Price Index be used for national and provincial-level conversions. For the index and further details on converting, see Table F.1.2. Since the totals are independently rounded, the total value may not match the sum of the individual values. For a brief description of this indicator, including the methodology, please see the Handbook for the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program.
