COMPETING REALITIES: The Boreal Forest at Risk


 

Expenditures by, and revenues to, the provinces. In Millions of dollars

Manitoba

88/89

36.5

3.282

Expenditures do not appear to be fully reported; e.g., Manitoba Forestry Branch Third Annual Report 1985-86: Indicates expenditures at 13.4146 when share of cost-shared agreement and jobs fund added in; National Forestry Database indicates expenditure of 7.8. Expenditures would not include the significant staff inputs and dollars from other branches (e.g., Wildlife, Regional Services, Fisheries). Expenditures by Canada via cost-shared agreements and other mechanisms (e.g., Forest Service, Model Forests) not included in provincial expenditure figures.

Note: Beginning in 1995-96, Manitoba no longer reported the majority of its expenditures on fighting fires within the expenditure section of the National Forestry Database e.g. in 1995-96. Total fire fighting costs for the province of Manitoba were 27.2 (see: p. 40 fire section), while the expenditure section of the National Forestry Database indicates total expenditures of 8.9 by Manitoba. It is reasonable to assume that the expenditure figures underestimate true expenditures.
