Preface

The Fiscal Reference Tables provide annual data on the financial position of the federal, provincial-territorial and local governments. The data are presented on both a Public Accounts basis—corresponding to the accounting conventions used to report financial information to the respective legislatures—as well as on a National Accounts basis—as prepared by Statistics Canada and the International Monetary Fund.

The Fiscal Reference Tables for the Federal Government—Public Accounts have been revised to reflect the following change:

• A reclassification of actuarial gains and losses, which were previously reported as part of Direct program expenses but are now presented in a new category of expense titled Net actuarial losses, as well as the addition of a new measure – the Budgetary balance before net actuarial losses.

Where applicable, the Fiscal Reference Tables also incorporate recent Statistics Canada National Accounts revisions.
