  1. Federal transfers are presented on a cash basis until 2004-2005 and on an accrual basis thereafter.
  2. 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.
  3. For 2003-2004 and previous years, the Canada Health and Social Transfer was the main federal contribution to the funding of provincial health, post secondary education, social assistance and social services programs. No breakdown of funding was provided for between the various spending sectors that the transfer helped to finance. Therefore, this transfer cannot be presented according to the basis used for subsequent years.
  4. Revenue from other programs includes compensation for harmonization of the QST with the GST, totalling $1 467 million in 2013-2014 and $733 million in 2012-2013, as well as protection payments of $362 million in 2012-2013 and $369 million in 2011-2012.
