1.1 Change in the budgetary balance
The Québec Economic Plan presents a financial framework that achieves a balanced budget with an anticipated surplus of $850 million for 2017-2018 and continued fiscal balance thereafter. On the whole, growth of spending is being kept at a pace compatible with that of revenue.
— | In 2017-2018, due to the reduction of the tax burden, consolidated revenue grew by 4.2%. Consolidated expenditure, for its part, grew by 5.6%. |
| |
— | In 2018-2019, consolidated revenue is expected to grow by 2.2% and consolidated expenditure by 4.5%. |
The government will continue to make deposits of dedicated revenues in the Generations Fund. Deposits total $2.3 billion in 2017-2018 and will amount to $2.5 billion in 2018-2019.

| Detailed Financial Framework | F.7 |
1.2.1 | Own-source revenue excluding revenue from government enterprises |
Own-source revenue excluding revenue from government enterprises consists chiefly of tax revenue, which is made up of personal income tax, contributions for health services, corporate taxes, school property tax and consumption taxes. How it changes is closely tied to economic activity in Québec and to changes in the tax systems.
Own-source revenue excluding revenue from government enterprises also includes revenue from other sources, that is, duties and permits and miscellaneous revenue, such as interest, the sale of goods and services, as well as fines, forfeitures and recoveries.
Most own-source revenue excluding revenue from government enterprises is deposited in the General Fund to finance the government’s missions. The remainder of this revenue is paid, in particular, into special funds (for funding specific programs) and the Generations Fund (for reducing the debt), as well as to non-budget-funded bodies and bodies in the health and social services and education networks (for funding their activities).
[ ] Adjustments for 2017-2018
For fiscal 2017-2018, own-source revenue excluding revenue from government enterprises totals $79.8 billion, which represents an increase of 2.5% relative to the revenue observed for fiscal 2016-2017.
Compared with the forecast in the Québec Economic Plan of March 2017, own-source revenue excluding revenue from government enterprises is adjusted downward by $7 million.
• Tax revenue
Revenue from personal income tax is adjusted downward by $1.5 billion for fiscal 2017-2018 relative to the forecast in the March 2017 Québec Economic Plan.
— | This adjustment is explained mainly by the additional reduction in the tax burden of nearly $1.0 billion per year as of 2017-2018 resulting from the decrease in the bottom tax bracket from 16% to 15%. |
| |
— | It also reflects the recurrence of the lower level of tax payable for 2016. |
| |
— | However, this adjustment is partly offset by higher-than-expected withholdings at source since the beginning of the fiscal year due to the higher-than-anticipated level of wages and salaries observed in 2017. |

Contributions for health services are adjusted upward by $13 million for 2017-2018. This adjustment reflects the higher-than-anticipated level of wages and salaries in 2017.
Revenue from corporate taxes is adjusted upward by $673 million for fiscal 2017-2018. This adjustment reflects an increase in tax revenues that is in keeping with the favourable results observed in late 2016-2017 and the growth of the net operating surplus of corporations in 2017 which was stronger than forecast in the March 2017 Québec Economic Plan.
The school property tax is adjusted downward by $15 million in 2017-2018. The revenue from this tax is consistent with that forecast in the Québec Economic Plan of March 2017.
Revenue from consumption taxes is adjusted upward by $618 million in 2017-2018. This adjustment arises mainly from the Québec sales tax owing to growth in household consumption (excluding food products and housing), which is higher than forecast in the March 2017 Québec Economic Plan.
| | |
| Detailed Financial Framework | F.9 |
• Other revenue
Revenue from duties and permits is adjusted upward by $237 million in 2017-2018, reflecting essentially the higher-than-expected revenue collected under Québec’s cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gas emission allowances.
In addition, miscellaneous revenue is adjusted downward by $79 million due, in particular, to the lower-than-forecast investment income of the Generations Fund.
[ ] Outlook for 2018-2019 and 2019-2020
Own-source revenue excluding revenue from government enterprises will grow by 2.3% in 2018-2019 and 3.1% in 2019-2020. This growth reflects essentially the economic activity forecast for those years.
• Tax revenue
Personal income tax, the government’s largest revenue source, will increase by 4.9% in 2018-2019 and 4.7% in 2019-2020, settling at $30.5 billion and $32.0 billion, respectively.
— | This change reflects, in particular, the growth of household income, indexation of the personal income tax system and the progressive nature of the tax system. |
| |
— | It also reflects the contribution of pension income to the growth of income subject to tax, particularly income from private pension plans. |
| |
— | It also takes into account the impact of various tax measures announced in this economic plan, including the enhancement of the tax credit for experienced workers. |
Contributions for health services will decrease by 0.3% in 2018-2019 and increase by 2.3% in 2019-2020, settling at $6.0 billion and $6.2 billion, respectively. This change reflects the fact that wages and salaries are expected to grow by 4.1% in 2018 and 3.2% in 2019. It also takes into account the impact of the gradual reduction of the Health Services Fund (HSF) contribution rate as of the day following the budget speech, for all Québec SMBs.
Revenue from corporate taxes will grow by 1.6% in 2018-2019 and 0.4% in 2019-2020, to $8.0 billion and $8.1 billion, respectively.
— | This change reflects essentially the projected growth of the net operating surplus of corporations, established at 4.9% in 2018 and 4.8% in 2019. |
| |
— | It also takes into account the measures implemented to ease the tax burden, including the gradual reduction of the general corporate income tax rate announced in the March 2015 Québec Economic Plan and the gradual reduction of the tax rate to 4% for all SMBs announced in this economic plan. |
| Budget 2018-2019 | |
F- 10 | Economic Plan | |
Revenue from the school property tax will decline by 19.0% in 2018-2019 and 6.1% in 2019-2020, reflecting the impact of the proposed reform of the school tax system.2
Revenue from consumption taxes will grow by 3.1% in 2018-2019 and 2.4% in 2019-2020, reaching $20.9 billion and $21.4 billion, respectively.
— | This growth mainly reflects robust household consumption (excluding food products and housing) of 4.5% in 2018 and 3.3% in 2019. |
| |
— | In addition, the gradual elimination of restrictions on input tax refunds for large businesses, as of January 1, 2018, is having a downward effect on the growth of consumption tax revenue. |
• Other revenue
Revenue from duties and permits will decrease by 3.8% in 2018-2019 and grow by 4.8% in 2019-2020. This change is explained primarily by the change in anticipated revenue under Québec’s cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gas emission allowances.
Miscellaneous revenue will climb by 2.1% in 2018-2019 and 3.5% in 2019-2020. This growth stems mainly from the investment income of the Generations Fund and the anticipated revenue of special funds, non-budget-funded bodies and bodies in the health and social services and education networks.

1.2.2 Revenue from government enterprises
[ ] Adjustments for 2017-2018
For 2017-2018, revenue from government enterprises is adjusted upward by $255 million, to $4.7 billion. This adjustment can be attributed to an increase in the results of Hydro-Québec due to the cold weather in recent months, and to an increase in the results of Loto-Québec in all of its activity sectors owing, in particular, to an increase in traffic and a renewal of the gaming offer.
[ ] Outlook for 2018-2019 and 2019-2020
Revenue from government enterprises will stand at $4.3 billion in 2018-2019 and $4.5 billion in 2019-2020.
— | The change in 2018-2019 mainly reflects the decline in the anticipated results of Hydro-Québec resulting from a forecast based on normal temperatures. |
| |
— | The change in 2019-2020 mainly reflects an increase in the anticipated results of Hydro-Québec due to the fact that demand in Québec is expected to grow. |

Accounting standards applicable to Hydro-Québec |
|
Since January 1, 2015, Hydro-Québec has determined its financial results using United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). Since the publication of Public Accounts 2014-2015, Hydro-Québec’s results have undergone an accounting adjustment in order to consolidate them with those of the government using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). |
|
For 2017-2018, revenue from Hydro-Québec is forecast at $2 750 million before taking into account the $475-million accounting impact related to the application of IFRS standards. |
|
For 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, the accounting impact is estimated at $475 million. |

1.2.3 Revenues from federal transfers
[ ] Adjustments for 2017-2018
In 2017-2018, revenues from federal transfers show a 12.3% increase to a total of $22.7 billion, that is, $640 million more than forecast in the March 2017 Québec Economic Plan.
These adjustments are explained essentially by increases of:
— | $478 million in other programs due, in particular, to: |
| — | a higher-than-anticipated degree of completion of municipal projects funded by the Société de financement des infrastructures locales du Québec; |
| | |
| — | an increase in revenue from the federal Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements program in connection with the spring flooding in Québec in 2017; |
| | |
| — | $101 million in health transfers attributed primarily to a downward adjustment of the value of the special Québec abatement, which is subtracted from these transfers. |

[ ] Outlook for 2018-2019 and 2019-2020
In 2018-2019, federal transfers will reach $23.7 billion, which represents an increase of 4.4% . This growth results primarily from a 5.9% rise in equalization revenue stemming, in particular, from an adjustment payment of $576 million to Québec.
In 2019-2020, federal transfers will total $24.8 billion, which represents an increase of 4.6% . This change results, in particular, from:
— | an anticipated increase of 12.1% in equalization revenue due, among other things, to an increase in the equalization envelope, based on Canada's nominal GDP, which includes the impact of the adjustment payment for 2018-2019 and as well as the growth in disparities in fiscal capacity compared to 2018-2019; |
| |
— | a 17.8% decline in revenue from other programs, which can be explained, in particular, by the end of infrastructure programs under Phase 1 of the federal infrastructure plan. |
| | |
| Detailed Financial Framework | F.15 |
Adjustment payment in 2018-2019 |
|
Equalization payments are calculated on the basis of a province’s fiscal capacity, which is defined as the revenue it would obtain if it applied the average tax rates in effect in the ten provinces to its own tax bases, namely, personal income tax, corporate income tax, consumption taxes, natural resources and property taxes. In other words, a province’s fiscal capacity is its capacity to collect revenue. |
|
The objective of the equalization program is to offset disparities in the fiscal capacity of the provinces compared to the average of the ten provinces and enable provinces that receive equalization to provide reasonably comparable levels of public services with a tax effort corresponding to the average of the ten provinces. |
|
– | Note that this objective has not been achieved since the application of the GDP cap by the federal government in 2009-2010, because the disparities in fiscal capacity as compared to the average of the ten provinces have been higher than the equalization envelope, which has been limited to Canada’s nominal GDP growth. Therefore, the disparities in fiscal capacity compared to the average of the ten provinces have not been fully offset. |
| |
– | Over the past nine years, Québec has had a significant shortfall of $5.8 billion because of this GDP cap, and this has required a greater tax effort to provide reasonably comparable levels of public services. |
|
Since 2014, the decline in revenue stemming from the drop in oil prices has had a downward effect on the fiscal capacity of oil-producing provinces (Newfoundland and Labrador, Saskatchewan and Alberta) and on the average fiscal capacity of the ten provinces, thereby reducing disparities in fiscal capacity compared to the average of the ten provinces. |
|
In 2018-2019, for the first time since 2009-2010, the sum of equalization payments to the recipient provinces, which are calculated on the basis of disparities in fiscal capacity as compared to the average of the ten provinces, are insufficient for the size of the equalization envelope determined by the growth in Canada’s nominal GDP.1 |
|
– | Under the Federal–Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act, the federal government decided to make adjustment payments of $1.8-billion to fill this gap, including $576 million to Québec. |
| |
– | Note that the adjustment payment of $576 million to Québec in 2018-2019 will offset only a fraction—10%—of the losses incurred since the imposition of the GDP cap ($5.8 billion). |
| |
1 | The equalization envelope for 2018-2019 ($19.0 billion) was determined using the average annual growth rate of Canada’s nominal GDP for 2016, 2017 and 2018, which is up 3.9% compared to that for 2017-2018 ($18.3 billion). |

1.3 Change in consolidated expenditure
Consolidated expenditure consists primarily of program spending by government departments, spending by special funds, non-budget-funded bodies and bodies in the health and social services and education networks, and debt service.
Consolidated expenditure stands at $104.1 billion in 2017-2018. This represents an upward adjustment of $334 million relative to the Québec Economic Plan of March 2017.
— | Program spending remains unchanged compared with the Québec Economic Plan of March 2017, and other consolidated expenditure will increase by $965 million. |
| |
— | In addition, spending on debt service is $631 million lower. |
Consolidated expenditure will stand at $108.7 billion in 2018-2019 and $111.5 billion in 2019-2020, representing growth of 4.5% and 2.6%, respectively.

| | |
| Detailed Financial Framework | F.19 |
This adjustment is explained by:
— | a $17-million increase in the expenditures of the Health and Social Services mission, owing, in particular, to the additional funding for the health and social services network announced in the November 2017 update of the Québec Economic Plan; |
| |
— | a $90-million decrease in the expenditures of the Education and Culture mission, due to lower depreciation expenses in the education networks; |
| |
— | an $868-million increase in the expenditures of the Economy and Environment mission, resulting, in particular, from the initiatives announced since the March 2017 Québec Economic Plan; |
| |
— | a $178-million increase in the expenditures of the Support for Individuals and Families mission, due, in particular, to the measures announced in the November 2017 update of the Québec Economic Plan, including the supplement for the purchase of school supplies under child assistance; Outlook for 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. |
[ ] Outlook for 2018-2019 and 2019-2020
In 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, mission expenditures will amount to $99.3 billion and $102.1 billion, respectively.

Adjustments for 2017-2018 |
|
In 2017-2018, program spending amounts to $72.6 billion, which represents an increase of 4.6% and is unchanged compared with the forecast in the March 2017 Québec Economic Plan. |
|
In addition, adjustments of $266 million have been observed in the various portfolios and they stem from additional investments in public services, in particular: |
|
– | $105 million in the Santé et Services sociaux portfolio; |
| |
– | $187 million in the Éducation et Enseignement supérieur portfolio. |
|
These additional investments are being funded essentially by the Contingency Fund. |
|
Outlook for 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 |
|
In 2018-2019, program spending will total $76.4 billion, with growth of 5.2% before the impact of the school tax system reform. |
|
– | Spending on the Santé et Services sociaux portfolio will amount to $38.5 billion, with growth of 4.6%. As for spending on the Éducation et Enseignement supérieur portfolio, it will stand at $18.9 billion, which amounts to growth of 5.0%. |
|
In 2019-2020, program spending will total $79.0 billion, with growth of 3.4% before the impact of the school tax system reform. |

1.3.2 Debt service
[ ] Adjustments for 2017-2018
In 2017-2018, debt service amounts to $9.2 billion, that is, $7.4 billion for direct debt service and $1.8 billion in interest on the liability for the retirement plans and other future benefits of public and parapublic sector employees.
Compared with the March 2017 Québec Economic Plan, debt service is adjusted downward by $631 million in 2017-2018, mainly because of lower-than-expected long-term interest rates and the higher-than-anticipated return on the Retirement Plans Sinking Fund (RPSF) in 2016-2017, which has a downward effect on debt service as of 2017-2018. The income of the RPSF is applied against debt service.
[ ] Outlook for 2018-2019 and 2019-2020
Debt service will grow by 1.5% in 2018-2019 and 0.4% in 2019-2020 mainly because of the anticipated increase in interest rates and capital investments.

| Budget 2018-2019 | |
F- 22 | Economic Plan | |
The rapid reduction in interest on the liability for the retirement plans and other employee future benefits can be explained by the investment income of the RPSF, which increases every year. The RPSF shows continued growth driven by returns and the absence of withdrawals.
• A sharp decline in the proportion of revenue devoted to debt service
A large proportion of the government’s revenue is devoted to paying interest on the debt. However, this proportion is declining.
In 2018-2019, the proportion of revenue devoted to debt service will stand at 8.6%, down sharply from the early 2000s. It will decrease in the coming years owing, in particular, to the use of the Generations Fund to repay the debt.
| | |
| Detailed Financial Framework | F.-23 |
• Comparison of the debt service of governments in Canada
In 2016-2017, Québec was the government that devoted the largest proportion of its revenue to debt service, after Newfoundland and Labrador. This results from the fact that Québec is the second most heavily indebted province after Newfoundland and Labrador.

2. | CONSOLIDATED REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE BY DEPARTMENTAL PORTFOLIO |
To fulfil its missions, the government sets up programs that are directly administered by government departments and bodies.
A departmental portfolio groups all of the entities under the responsibility of a minister, including the department and bodies.
Tables F.10 and F.11 present the revenue and expenditure forecasts for 2018-2019 by portfolio and sector.
Appendix 3 lists the entities making up each portfolio.
2.1 Consolidated revenue
The own-source revenue of entities, as well as revenue allocated to them by law, is credited to the portfolio of the minister responsible for those entities.
With total revenue of $94.2 billion in 2018-2019, the Finances portfolio is the one with the highest revenue. The revenue of this portfolio is very high compared to that of the other portfolios because it includes, among other things, the net results of government enterprises, as well as sums collected in order to fund public services of the State that are not allocated to another entity by law, such as:
— | income and property taxes collected by Revenu Québec; |
| |
— | the Québec sales tax; |
| |
— | the main federal transfers. |
The other portfolios with the highest revenue in 2018-2019 are:
— | Transports, Mobilité durable et Électrification des transports, whose revenue of $4.7 billion is derived in particular from the specific tax on fuel and fees for motor vehicles; |
| |
— | Éducation et Enseignement supérieur, whose revenue of $4.3 billion is derived in particular from the school property tax and tuition fees; |
| |
— | Santé et Services sociaux, whose revenue of $4.3 billion is drawn mainly from the sale of goods and services of the health and social services network and contributions to the Québec prescription drug insurance plan. |

Departmental portfolios |
|
To fulfil its missions, the government sets up programs that government entities, including departments or bodies, directly administer. The array of entities for which a minister is responsible constitutes a portfolio. |
|
The publication of revenue and expenditure by departmental portfolio better informs public decision-makers about the financial resources available to them for all of the entities for which they are responsible. |
|
– | The presentation of information in this manner is an additional budget management tool that helps to make public decision-makers more accountable with respect to their entire departmental portfolio. |
| |
– | Furthermore, it enables public decision-makers to obtain a comprehensive view of the breakdown of their resources in each sectoral component of the government’s financial organization. |
| |
The composition of and level of revenue and expenditure in each portfolio varies depending on the nature of the mission and the programs for which the minister in question is responsible. Accordingly, the expenditures of certain portfolios will exceed their revenues, while the revenues of other portfolios will exceed their expenditures. |

The growth in spending by special funds stems mainly from:
— | the Land Transportation Network Fund (LTNF), for financing road network and public transit infrastructure; |
| |
— | the Green Fund, given the implementation of the 2013-2020 Climate Change Action Plan (2013-2020 CCAP); |
| |
— | the Economic Development Fund, which reflects the change in payments of financial assistance to businesses. |

Reconciliation of the special funds’ expenditure budget with the |
government’s consolidated financial framework |
|
The Secrétariat du Conseil du trésor tables the budget of the special funds in the National Assembly in order for the expenditure and investment forecasts of these entities to be approved. |
|
The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the expenditures presented in the special funds’ budget with those presented in the Québec Economic Plan. |
|
Expenditures to service the debt of the Financing Fund are not subject to authorization by the National Assembly since the advances received by the Financing Fund are derived from loans made by the government. Expenditures to service the debt of these borrowings are already covered by the General Fund and are repaid by the clientele of the Financing Fund. |
|
The Act respecting the Ministère des Finances (CQLR, chapter M-24.01) provides for special treatment of the Financing Fund because of its role as financial intermediary between the General Fund and its clientele, which consists of public bodies and special funds. |
|
In addition, the Québec Economic Plan presents the consolidated financial framework of the Québec government, including the reporting entity’s various sectoral components. The spending forecasts for special funds included in the consolidated financial framework incorporate the elimination of reciprocal transactions between entities in the same sector (i.e. between special funds). |
