Report a correction

Every figure on this site comes from files the Government of Canada publishes. If something here is wrong, tell us. A person checks every report against the government source, and every correction we make is listed at the bottom of this page. Go to the form.

What we correct

  • Wrong numbersAn amount, a year or a total that does not match the Global Affairs Canada file it came from.
  • Wrong country, cause or organizationA line filed under the wrong country or region, a sector grouped under the wrong cause, or two recipients merged that are not the same organization.
  • A questionable-projects entry that misstates its recordIf an entry describes a project, its amount or what was reported about it differently from the public record it cites.
  • Broken source linksA link to a government file, spreadsheet row or Project Browser page that no longer opens or points to the wrong thing.

How we handle a report

  1. We read every report and look up the line in the government file it came from.
  2. If our site differs from the source, we fix it and add an entry to the corrections log below.
  3. If the government file itself is wrong, we say so in the log, link the file, and show the figure as the government published it.
  4. If the site matches the source, nothing changes. If you left an email address we may write back to explain.

We check new reports at least once a month, when the data is refreshed. We do not remove accurate government data on request.

Tell us what is wrong

Only so we can ask a question or reply. It is never published.

To limit abuse we store a one-way hash of your network address that changes every day, never the address itself.
