Note: The Halifax laboratory is shown separately because during 1998-99 it was in operation for only a portion of the year and would therefore have skewed the overall figures. "Equipment and other" includes several items, such as $11 million spent in 1999 to construct the new Ottawa laboratory and employee benefits of about $3 million in 1998-1999.
