Provinces receive equal support from the Canada health transfer through a mix of tax points that were transferred in 1977 and the cash transfer. The cash transfer is increasing at 6% a year. The government announced in budget 2007 that the Canada health transfer would move to an equal per capita cash allocation, so the tax points would no longer be considered in the calculation after 2013-14. Until then, they are still part of the calculation.
Provinces receive equal support through this mix of tax points and cash. Alberta's tax points are worth significantly more than tax points in some other provinces, so its cash is correspondingly lower.
