¹ Expenditure by function is presented on a basis to more closely follow the presentation used by Statistics Canada. Unless otherwise indicated, figures for previous years have been restated to be consistent with the presentation used for 1998/99.

² Figures for 1996/97 have been restated to reflect a change in accounting policy to exclude from expenditure, allowances for doubtful revenue accounts. These amounts are now recorded as deductions from revenue. The effect of this change reduces 1996/97 expenditure by $25.4 million. Amounts for prior years have not been restated. This change does not affect the annual deficit.

³ Other expenditure for 1996/97 has been restated to reflect a change in accounting policy to exclude from revenue and expenditure, non-cash exchanges (of equivalent value) of Crown lands to third parties. The effect of this change reduces expenditure by $17.5 million in 1996/97. Amounts for prior years have not been restated. This change does not affect the annual deficits.

⁴ Effective in 1997/98 other expenditure includes a $28.3 million reduction for the amortization of the change of the unfunded teachers' pension plan liability.

⁵ Debt servicing has been restated to reflect a change in accounting policy with respect to earnings of sinking funds held for government direct operating debt. Earnings from sinking fund investments are now recorded as deductions from related interest expenditure. The effect of this change reduces expenditure by $35.1 million in 1994/95; $88.6 million in 1995/96; and $81.6 million in 1996/97. This change does not affect the annual deficit.
