The per capita cost for Canada includes municipal, provincial and territorial and federal expenditures.
Federal expenditures include all other Royal Canadian Mounted Police contract expenditures which are not paid for by the municipality or the province and territory for those provinces and territories with contracts with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (see footnote 9).
