If Sgt. Rachel Saliba was demoted from Sergeant to Police Constable (1st Class) for an 8-month period, we can estimate the minimum loss in pay by comparing the lower end of both ranks' salary ranges.

Sergeant salary: CAD $120,000 per year (minimum)
Constable 1st Class salary: CAD $109,000 per year (approximate)

Annual Loss:

The difference in annual salary is: $120,000 - 109,000 = 11,000 \text{ CAD/year}$

Loss for 8 months:

Since 8 months is $\frac{8}{12}$ or two-thirds of a year, the proportional loss would be:

\frac{8}{12} \times 11,000 = 7,333.33 \text{ CAD}

Thus, the minimum loss in pay for 8 months would be approximately CAD $7,333.33.
