At the end of each fiscal year, government-wide financial information is published in the Public Accounts. This dataset, based on the Volume 3 of the Public Accounts, provides details of education costs incurred in the given fiscal year. For the purpose of this statement, an education cost represents the cost of any long-term education activity. That activity is any training or development given to a Government employee and conducted at an educational institution outside of the Public Service that amounted or will amount to a total of 65 working days or more over a maximum period of three (3) years, or that involved or will involve total expenditures in excess of $25,000 (including salary). This dataset is from the Public Accounts of Canada and is not the official record of information. The official version of records can be found on the Receiver General website for the most recent fiscal year and the Library and Archives website for historical years.
