Federal money in the province
Transfers, contracts and grants from the Government of Canada that land in Newfoundland and Labrador.
$2.6 billionin 8,537 federal contracts with suppliers that have an NL postal code1
$211 millionof that awarded without competition
$8.7 billionin 29,465 grant and contribution agreements with NL recipients, whose values can span several years2
A supplier's postal code is where it is registered, not always where the work is done: a national telecom contract held by a company with an NL address counts here.
The federal files repeat a whole contract every time it is amended: as published, NL contracts add up to $11.9 billion. Counted once each, they come to $2.6 billion. Grants likewise: $11.7 billion as published, $8.7 billion counted once. How amendments are handled.
