My opinion on that is you, as legislators, have voted on legislation. I think legislation should be based on principles and left alone, unless there are major structural issues. The risk in reopening legislation every few years is that every time one jurisdiction is unhappy with the amounts it receives or with an outcome that was not anticipated, we reopen legislation and we amend a very complex formula which has implications in the billions of dollars.
I think we should have legislation for equalization and other transfers that's based on a series of broad principles that's developed, debated and approved in Parliament. We should leave it alone, unless there are major issues that are found to be of concern by parliamentarians.
