1  Revenue amounts exclude dedicated revenue collected on behalf of, and transferred to, Crown corporations and agencies.
2  Percentage change between the 1997/98 revised forecast and the 1998/99 budget estimate.
3  To conform to the 1998/99 budget estimates, allowances for doubtful revenue accounts are shown as deductions from revenue. Previously, these amounts were recorded as expenditure.
4  Includes revenue from fees and licences, asset dispositions, investment earnings, and other miscellaneous sources. To conform to the 1998/99 budget estimate, the 1997/98 estimate has been restated to reflect a change in accounting policy with respect to earnings of sinking funds held for government direct operating debt. The effect of this restatement reduces the 1997/98 revenue estimate by $76 million.
