Blue Book - General Revenue Fund, Details of Grants, Supplies, Services, Tangible Capital Assets and Other Payments, by Payee

The Blue Book lists selected types of payments made by the Government of Alberta.  The items are listed in alphabetical order by payee, with a reference to the department or office that made the payment.  The Blue Book has three major sections:

1. The first is an introductory section that describes the types of payments and reasons for inclusion in this report. It also provides payment totals by department for that period.
2. The second section lists grants over $5,000 to individuals, municipalities, schools, universities, colleges, regional health authorities, funds and agencies.
3. The third section lists payments over $10,000 for supplies, services, tangible capital assets and other payments to various businesses.
