Notes:
Government of Canada fiscal year is 1 April to 31 March.
Cash channel sales include sales through financial institutions, investment dealers, and directly through the CSB website and by telephone. The latest fiscal year total is a running total.
Payroll channel sales are linked to the November CSB series issue; they occur as regular contributions over twelve months. The latest fiscal year payroll sales value is an estimate of expected contributions over the course of the current fiscal year, and as such is subject to change.
Total sales amount may not match the combined cash channel and payroll channel sales amounts due to the separate rounding of these values.
