COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL SERVICES
Budget-vs-disclosure reconciliation by fiscal year. Budget is drawn from the General Revenue Fund estimates; disclosed is the sum of published grant payments, transactions, and contracts. Gaps typically live in operationally-independent entities (e.g. Alberta Health Services, universities) that consolidate into the ministry total but don’t disclose line-item payments via the Blue Book.
Data quality note
The largest absolute gap for this ministry is $3,559,532,002. Large gaps are expected when a ministry consolidates operationally-independent entities (AHS, universities, school boards) that publish financial statements but not transaction-level disclosures. See specs/data-quality-issues.md DQ-001 (ministry name merges) and DQ-016 (small-budget gap-pct overflow) for the known limitations.
