Notes: Based on the 1980 Standard Industrial Classification. GDP is expressed at factor cost, measuring payments made to the owners of factor inputs used in production. This differs from GDP at market prices, as shown in the Provincial Economic Overview, which represents the market value of total production. The difference is attributable to indirect taxes and subsidies. Newsprint estimates by the Economic Research and Analysis Division, Department of Finance.
