14. Federal Government and
Equalization
• “The Globe and Mail first reported earlier this week that the
Liberal government quietly renewed the equalization formula in
its 2018 budget, so it will stay in its current form until 2024. But
Tom Osborne says it's frustrating N.L. is considered a "have"
province under that formula — despite its current fiscal
situation. "We've got a very large geography, one of the most
widely dispersed population in all of the country, we've got very
rural areas. So this province is expensive to maintain," said the
finance minister Friday. "When you look at other provinces with
smaller geographies and twice the population, that's not taken
into account," he added. ” -

• Equalization payments have long been a contentious issue
between the Canadian government and provinces.
• The payments are once again in the news
this week, after it came to light that the
formula for how the money is
distributed will stay the same until 2024.

• Liberals hold 152 seats in areas that received
equalization
• Liberals are concerned about losing seats in
AB and SK as such focus is on their existing
areas to hold power after the next election

19. Federal Minister Leblanc vs Jason
Kenny (AB)
• Your govt is to blame for what has
happen at the provincial
relationship levels and not premiers
or the former govt.
•
• The role of the federal govt is to
represent all Canadians and not
voting blocks. Your leader is only
interested in meeting with people
that will vote for him
