Thanks SafeTex, thanks Conor I've submitted my guess
SafeTex Jan 10, 2021:
@ Bkani You're guessing but you can put up a suggestion with the lowest confidence level (I'm just guessing) and I would then happily vote for it.
Wyley Powell (asker) Jan 10, 2021:
The respondent is a Quebec civil servant.
AllegroTrans Jan 10, 2021:
Asker Is the "Quebec respondent" simply a member of the public or an official of some kind?
Bokani Hart Jan 9, 2021:
I'm guessing...: Police operating income before depreciation and amortisation (OIBDA) and after factoring in the Quebec Provincial Police?

So, provincial AND national???

Actually Bokani is right about the first part: it should be depreciation (tangible assets) AND amortisation (intangible assets), in private-sector accounting anyway.

Policing budget appropriation pre-sinking fund contrib. and post-Québec Nat. Police Force set-aside

'A list of the budget items principally concerned' suggests to me accounting shorthand for playing with budget appropriations.

Canada > 'The city expects to spend $6.2 million in interest on the police-HQ debt this year alone, plus a $1.6 million contribution to the sinking fund, finance officials say.'
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/police-hq-debt-1.396...

Otherwise, the police force as a body and not a building - even if 'police' meant an insurance policy - does not qualify for *writing-down allowances*. No good guessing if you don't know....
Example sentence:

In its early days, it was known as the Police provinciale de Québec and had 65 officers. Today, more than 5700 officers and 2200 civilians work with the public throughout Québec.

This deficit includes the Sinking Fund contribution of $64.2 million. Excluding the impact of the Sinking Fund contribution the deficit would have been $38.3 million.
