Notes
Cash transfers to provinces and territories are based on unofficial estimates.
Total provincial and territorial allocations are subject to population adjustments.
Amounts in the “total allocation” columns have been rounded.
The total allocations for year 1 and year 2 are based on actual allocations and years 3, 4, 5 are based on promised allocations.
Yearly totals are from the 2004/05 budget speech.
Numbers of children birth to 5 are from Childcare Resource and Research Unit report Early Childhood Education and Care in Canada 2001: Summary Table 4.
Given the population changes since 2001, the per child allocation provides a “rough estimate”.
