Mr. Yves Giroux (Director, Social Policy, Federal-Provincial Relations and Social Policy Branch, Department of Finance) at the Finance Committee

The money for the Police Officers' Recruitment Fund comes, among other things, from the 2007-2008 end-of-year funds. The same thing goes for payments in trust to the provinces and territories. If Bill C-50 doesn't pass, the provinces and territories won't have access to those funds.
