Description of SSHRC’s Spending Trend, 2007-08 to 2013-14

This stacked line graph shows the spending trend for the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) from 2007-08 to 2013-14. The period from 2007-08 to 2010-12 shows actual spending and the period from 2012-13 to 2013-14 shows planned spending. The three lines show values for total spending, total spending plus Canada’s Economic Action Plan (CEAP), and total spending plus sunsetting programs.

The X axis shows fiscal years.

The Y axis shows dollar values. The scale begins at 670 million dollars and goes to 710 million dollars, in increments of 10 million.

The blue line represents total spending, the green line represents total spending plus spending for Canada’s Economic Action Plan (CEAP) and the brown line shows total spending plus spending for sunsetting programs. The blue line is not visible for most of the graph because the amount of total spending matches the amount for at least one of the other categories in all fiscal years.

The values, by fiscal year, are as follows:

• In 2009-10, total actual spending was 686.4 million dollars, which is the same as total spending plus sunsetting programs, as well as the same as total spending plus CEAP spending.
