1   Amounts have been restated, for comparative purposes only, to be consistent with Schedule A of the 2004/2005 Estimates.

The Budget Transparency and Accountability Act requires provincial budgets and financial statements to comply fully with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) by fiscal year 2004/05. Full compliance with GAAP requires the consolidation of the Colleges, University Colleges, Institutes and Universities (public post secondary institutions) into the government reporting entity. Fully consolidating the post secondary institutions will bring all of their assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses into the government's budgets and financial reports.

There will be some changes in ministry and post secondary organization financial administration since inclusion of these organizations in government budgets and financial reports will require closer coordination of financial processes and timelines.
