  1. Federal transfers are presented on a cash basis until 2004-2005 and on an accrual basis thereafter.
  2. The Balanced Budget Act stipulates that the budgetary balance must: a) exclude the retroactive effect of a new CPA Canada standard for the years preceding the changeover year proposed by CPA Canada; b) take into consideration the effects of accounting changes, for a date subsequent to March 31, 2006, posted directly to accumulated deficits. This rule does not apply to accounting changes resulting from the implementation of the 2006-2007 accounting reform.
  3. For years prior to 2009-2010, the consolidated budgetary balance does not take into account the changes made to the mechanics of the reserve by the Act to amend the Balanced Budget Act and various legislative provisions concerning the implementation of the accounting reform (S.Q. 2009, chapter 38). As of 2009-2010, the data take the impact of the Act into account.
  4. The budgetary balance within the meaning of the Balanced Budget Act after reserve takes into account the allocations to and uses of the stabilization reserve to keep the budget balanced.
  5. Own-source revenue includes Hydro-Québec’s extraordinary loss of $1 876 million stemming from the closure of the Gentilly-2 nuclear power plant in 2012-2013 and the extraordinary losses of the Société générale de financement du Québec of $358 million in 2003-2004, $339 million in 2002-2003 and $91 million in 2001-2002.
  6. The Balanced Budget Act stipulates that the budgetary balance for fiscal year 2012-2013 must be determined by excluding the result, shown in Hydro-Québec's annual consolidated financial statements, from activities abandoned following the decision to close the Gentilly-2 nuclear power plant.
  7. From 2006-2007 to 2008-2009, the net results of the bodies in the health and social services and education networks were established using the modified equity method. As of 2009-2010, the revenue and expenditure of the networks’ bodies are consolidated line by line, like those of non budget funded bodies and special funds.
  8. In accordance with section 32 of the Act to amend the Balanced Budget Act and various legislative provisions concerning the implementation of the accounting reform (S.Q. 2009, chapter 38), the sum of $109 million, corresponding to the difference between the recorded surplus and the anticipated surplus for 2006-2007, was allocated to the stabilization reserve in 2008-2009.
  9. In addition to the use of $1 845 million in 2008-2009 for the maintenance of a balanced budget, deposits of $132 million in 2008-2009 and $200 million in 2007-2008 were made in the Generations Fund using the stabilization reserve.
