Note:
- Gross Domestic Expenditures on Research and Development (GERD) refers to all monies expended for Research and Development (R & D) performed within the country in a given year. The Research and Development funding may come from government, business enterprise, private non-profit, higher education or foreign sources. The performing sectors are divided into government, business enterprise, private non-profit and higher education sectors.
- Canada figures include preliminary data for the two most recent years. The provincial distribution is not available for the two most recent reference periods because provincial detail is collected only for actual expenditures.
