I would appreciate it if you could send that information along to committee members.
I would also like to talk about the transfers that appear under the item entitled “Fiscal Equalization”. I guess this has to do with resolving the fiscal imbalance.
It talks about fiscal transfers but, in my opinion, we are really talking about cash transfers. When the Minister came to meet with us, he did, in fact, confirm that this represented a cash transfer from the federal government to provincial governments, and that there were never any real fiscal transfers.
Could you tell me whether the Minister was correct in saying that this settlement represented a cash transfer to the provinces or, as the name seems to suggest, are we instead talking about a transfer of tax room to a specific province?
