British Columbia Ten-Year Government Expense Tables, 2006-2016

Two tables present British Columbia's government expenses from 2006/07 to 2015/16. Table A11 details expense by function with actual, forecast, and planned values, while Table A12 provides supplementary metrics like per capita expense and percentage of GDP.
