Funds were distributed during two periods, Regular Period 1 (October 2022 through June 2023) and the Regular Period 2 (July 2023 through June 2024).

The provinces and territories with the highest adjusted rates were Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Northwest Territories.
