Notes
* The Contingency Reserve is an allowance for anticipated events that cannot be assigned to individual programs. This includes expenses that cannot be revealed due to commercial-in-confidence or national security concerns, decisions taken but not yet announced by the government, and provisions for unfunded public service redundancies.
† Because both years in the comparison have negative values, a negative difference means a positive percentage change (and a net improvement for government revenue figures).
‡ The raw numbers are more meaningful than a percentage change when one or more of the values being compared is zero or when comparing a positive value with a negative value.
