Comments

The Government of Canada released a pilot sample dataset matching the criteria for this category for the fiscal year 2013-2014, which has since been discontinued: https://data.gc.ca/data/en/dataset/2eed2fba-1626-4d2e-a511-389cc6b51ddf . The Government of Canada also has a tool for searching expenditure data, but data availability varies by ministry and department. Data is not month to month - it is aggregated by fiscal year - and it is not very detailed. Data cannot be downloaded. https://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/ems-sgd/edb-bdd/index-eng.html

(No change since 2014)
