Notes: - In Canada Year Book, 1947, see Table 6 for revenues and Table 7 for expenditures where the cells in this table contain dashes. These dashes indicate that no revenues were collected or expenditures made under the corresponding headings because the items were not applicable in those years. - Many terms used in the Canada Year Books are no longer used today for reasons such as their offensive connotations, changes in place name or organization name, or terms becoming obsolete. These terms have been left as they appear in the original yearbooks.
1. Includes pensions to blind persons.
2. Excludes civil pensions.
