• 30 September 2026. Federal record values and location claims corrected. Contracts: CAD 2,614,227,060.51 corrected to CAD 2,547,127,660.51, down CAD 67,099,400. The Health Canada national-service contract appeared twice under two supplier names in one amendment history. Professional-services payments: CAD 690,028,445 corrected to CAD 683,854,665, down CAD 6,173,780: two Ontario payees (CAD 6,286,216) are removed and one valid published NL abbreviation (CAD 112,436) is included. CanadaBuys: the former dollar-labelled numeric sum of 855,968,652.83 is replaced by supported CAD 830,019,361.38, a numeric reduction of 25,949,291.45. Three foreign supplier addresses are removed (EUR 52,924.80 and two zeros); USD 473,000 and 394,250 with unstated currency stay in separate native-currency summaries; six published zero notice totals no longer take fallback amounts totalling CAD 25,029,116.65. Missing and zero values remain distinct. Federal grants stay CAD 8,430,775,591.69, with conflicting Winnipeg/Regina addresses labelled. Federal records no longer get provincial per-person or wage-time figures. An address selects a record; it does not establish work, benefit or spending in NL. Home ranks sources separately and the scale page no longer adds examples together. Provincial actual-spending figures are unchanged. Sources, verification and every changed total; method.
• 30 September 2026. Provincial award values: $1,358,312,018.08 corrected to $1,372,054,508.65, an increase of $13,742,490.57. Five entries with different products, zones, dates or terms had been removed as repeats; they are restored. Four repeated awards with punctuation or PO-label differences in their full identifiers are counted once. An explicitly corrected Hatch description replaces its earlier printing at the same value. Every counted-once award keeps the other printings and receipts. Source review and every changed total; publisher report card.
• 29 September 2026. Federal grants: $8.51 billion corrected to $8.43 billion. Canadian Heritage and the Public Health Agency of Canada report each amendment as the change in value, and only their latest amendment had been counted; their amendments are now added up. Some agreements were counted twice: a recipient renamed on an amendment, and Infrastructure Canada agreements with no agreement number reported again under a new reference number. The method page now shows each department's evidence and a check against Public Accounts. Method.
• 29 September 2026. Federal grants: $8.67 billion corrected to $8.51 billion. Some grant agreements were counted twice. A department that reports each amendment as the agreement's new total sometimes printed the recipient's name in English only and sometimes as "English name|French name", and those rows were treated as two agreements. They are now one agreement, counted at its latest amendment (for example, an Association for New Canadians agreement reported twelve times). Method.
• 29 September 2026. Supplier pages combine names printed different ways. A supplier's page now includes records printed under other spellings of its name where the records show they are one supplier, so its total can be higher than before. Method.
