Government Finances

How governments raise money, what they spend it on, and what they own and owe are central questions in Canadian public finance. Finances of the Nation brings together data on the REAL finances of Canada's governments: their revenue, expenditure, assets and liabilities. The data are drawn from official sources, such as Statistics Canada and Finance Canada, and organized into consistent series over time.
