Description of Figure 5 Spending Trends

This line graph shows the seven-year trend of Statistics Canada’s total spending. It also shows a seven-year trend of Statistics Canada’s net spending. The period covered is divided into four fiscal years of actual spending, from 2005/2006 to 2008/2009, and three fiscal years of planned spending, from 2009/2010 to 2011/2012. All spending is in thousands of dollars.

The X axis shows fiscal years, from 2005/2006 to 2011/2012.

The Y axis shows dollar values. The scale begins at 350,000 and goes to 800,000 (representing $800 million), in increments of 50,000 (representing $50 million).

The graph has three lines, one for total spending, one for net spending, and one for spending net of the census. The first lines are parallel to each other, with total spending always higher. The third line is lower, ranging between $350 million and $450 million, and is generally straighter throughout the period shown.

Total spending includes respendable cost-recovery revenues.

  • 2006/2007: $733.302 million
