Canadian Defence Budget Expected to Rise to $20 billion by 2010 Like all federal institutions during the 1990s, the Department of Defence underwent budget cuts as part of the federal government's effort to eliminate the deficit. Consequently, the budget, which totalled $12 billion in 1993-1994, declined to $9.38 billion by 1998-1999. Since then, the Department of National Defence has received three successive budget increases totalling more than $5 billion, to be delivered between 2001-2002 and 2006-2007. The amount of money estimated for the fiscal year 2002-2003 budget ($ millions) by the Department of National Defence, Government of Canada, is shown in Table 1.5.2 Construct both a pie chart and a bar chart to describe the data.
