Federal-provincial fiscal arrangements
These amounts represent net overpayments in respect of transfer payments to provinces under the Constitution Acts 1867 to 1982, the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act, and other statutory authorities.
The overpayments are non-interest bearing and will be repaid by reducing transfer payments in subsequent years.

The loans bear interest at rates from 5.25% to 5.375% per annum, and are repayable in annual or semi-annual instalments over 15 to 50 years.
Winter capital projects fund
Loans have been made to provinces, provincial agencies and municipalities, to assist in the creation of employment.
The loans bear interest at rates from 7.4% to 9.5% per annum, and are repayable either in annual instalments over 5 to 20 years, or at maturity.
