OBJECT AND SCOPE
2000, c. 15, s. 1.
1. The object of this Act is to establish a management framework for the financial resources of government departments, bodies and enterprises.

2000, c. 15, s. 1.
2. For the purposes of this Act, the following bodies are government bodies:
(1)  the budget-funded bodies listed in Schedule 1; and
(2)  the bodies other than budget-funded bodies listed in Schedule 2.
Persons designated or appointed by the Government or a minister and listed in Schedules 1 and 2, respectively, together with the personnel directed by them, are considered to be budget-funded bodies or bodies other than budget-funded bodies, in the exercise of the functions assigned to them by law or by the Government or the minister.
The enterprises listed in Schedule 3 are government enterprises.
2000, c. 15, s. 2.
3. The Government may amend a schedule to this Act following the establishment or abolition of a body or enterprise or the amendment of the Act constituting a body or enterprise, or where a body or enterprise no longer possesses the characteristics of the category in which it is classified according to the Government’s accounting policies.
The Government may also amend a schedule to this Act to add a body or enterprise that has acquired the characteristics of a government body or enterprise according to the Government’s accounting policies.
2000, c. 15, s. 3.

An order in council under this section may have effect from the beginning of the fiscal year during which it is made.
2000, c. 15, s. 7.
8. The Minister may deposit money from the Consolidated Revenue Fund with the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, up to the amount recorded in the non-budgetary pension plans account shown in the financial statements of the Government, in order to establish a pension plans sinking fund to provide for the payment of some or all of the benefits under the pension plans.
