There is a vertical bar chart titled "Spending Trend." The horizontal axis is a time axis covering three consecutive fiscal years beginning at 2008-09. The vertical axis is labelled from 0 to 1,000 million dollars. The graph shows five series of bars labeled "Main Estimates", "Planned Spending", "Total Authorities", "Actual Spending (excluding Canada's Economic Action Plan)", and "Canada's Economic Action Plan". Fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11 show one bar for each of the five series. The earlier fiscal year lacks a bar for the series called "Canada's Economic Action Plan". The curves are similar in height over the three fiscal years shown, varying by no more than approximately 2% per year. The exceptions are the series labelled "Total Authorities" and "Actual Spending". These two series show increases in fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11 commensurate with contributions from the Canadian Economic Action Plan.
