There is a vertical bar chart titled "Spending Trend." The horizontal axis is a time axis covering three consecutive fiscal years beginning at 2007-08. The vertical axis is labeled from 0 to 1000 million dollars. The graph shows five series of bars labeled "Estimates," "Planned," "Authorized," "Actual," and "Actual excluding CEAP". Fiscal year 2009-2010 shows one bar for each of the five series. The two earlier fiscal years lack a bar for the series called "Actual excluding CEAP". The curves are similar in height over the three fiscal years shown, varying by no more than approximately 2% per year. The exceptions are the series labeled "Authorized" and "Actual." These two series show an increase in fiscal year 2009-2010 commensurate with contributions from the Canadian Economic Action Plan.
