PROVINCIAL FINANCES, 1969-70


  With this memo, we bring up to date
our  biennial publication, Provincial
Finances, last issued in 1969, by adding
the provincial revenue and expenditure
estimates for fiscal year 1969-70 and
highlights of the 1970 provincial bud-
gets. Full explanations of the concepts
underlying these statistics are found in
Provincial Finances.
  The D.B.S. compilations of provincial
debt for 31 March 1967 or later years
are not yet available; so the debt analy-
sis shown in Provincial Finances, 1969
has not been updated. The budget high-
lights include a brief reference to the
debt positions as given by each prov-
ince; the figures are not comparable
between provinces.
  The interim summary of the finances
of  the  provincial governments  for
1969-70 is based on the D.B.S. compi-
lation of the Estimates presented by the
ten provincial governments, following
adjustments to the individual statements
to put them  on  a comparable basis.
D.B.S. has recently changed its presenta-
tion to show the actual cost of the serv-


ices provided by the provincial govern-
ments, even though some of these are
shared by  other governments. Funds
expected to be received by the provinces
from the sale of goods and services by
provincial institutions such as hospitals
and   penal  institutions have been
deducted  from   both  revenue  and
expenditure totals, as they are not con-
sidered to be revenue in the true sense
but serve to defray costs.

1970-71 Estimates
  This Tax Memo  also includes a brief
summary  of the budget statements and
the Estimates of revenue and expendi-
ture of the provinces for 1970-71. In
projecting their financial position in their
budget statements, some provinces do
not include in their expenditure money
spent on capital account for roads,
schools and other buildings, the funds
for which have mainly to be borrowed.
Some  provinces include in their esti-
mated  expenditures amounts set aside
to pay off debt contracted in previous
years. We have attempted to follow the
D.B.S. practice of totalling current and


          Additional copies of the Memo may be obtained at a price of 25f.
