Note(s):
Components may not add to totals due to rounding. Quebec and Ontario
figures include federal government expenditures on research and development
performed in the National Capital Region. The private non-profit (PNP) sector
appears in both the performing and funding sector for the gross domestic expenditure
on research and development (GERD) for Canada. Commencing with reference year 2000 the
data for the private non-profit sector performing research and development
are not distributed by provinces or territories. The national totals of research
and development by performing sector include the PNP sector. The data for
the private non-profit sector funding research and development continue to
be distributed by provinces and territories. The provincial and territorial
distribution by sources of funds of the business enterprise sector R&D
expenditures is derived through a modeling system, which prorates values based
on reported business enterprise provincial and territorial R&D. Data for
the National Capital Region (NCR) are now available in Appendix 1 at
the end of this publication.
