In 2024–25 it received $1.31 billion in operating funding from the Government of Canada — about $31.58 per Canadian resident per year, or $63.14 per working Canadian per year (operating appropriation basis; including capital amortization and working capital, about $33.94 per resident / $67.86 per working Canadian).
