As at June 30, 2014, budgetary revenue amounts to $17.6 billion, $591 million more than as at June 30, 2013.

(1) | In accordance with the key directions of the 2014-2015 Budget of June 4, 2014, $430 million from the health transfers has been earmarked in the 2014-2015 for the Fund to Finance Health and social services institutions (FINESSS), which is part of the consolidated entities. The allocation is broken down throughout 2014-2015 at the rate of $36 million per month and has already been deducted from the health transfers. If not for this allocation, the change would be 2.4 % instead of -5.9 %. |
(2) | Recognation of revenue from federal compensation in respect of the harmonization of the sales taxes occurs at the rate of recognation of the expenditures financed by such compensation. Consequently, the payment in this respect of $1 467 million in 2013-2014 was broken down throughout 2013-2014 at the rate of $86 million per month for debt service expenditure. Moreover, the allocation of $430 million of the compensation to the FINESSS was also spread over the entire 2013-2014 fiscal year, at the rate of $36 million a month. |
