If I get the gist of it, what we're talking about is money that's transferred federally to the province. The province doesn't always spend it the way the federal government would like to see it spent or with the intention of the federal government in placing that money here in Alberta. That's why Bill keeps saying that the province and the federal government need to keep working together to come up with some kind of plan so that the money is spent where the federal government would prefer it to be spent. I think if the federal government is going to give money to the province, it should have strings attached to it so that the money is spent where the money should be spent.
Years ago we used to have that. In fact, when I first started working in this field we could deal directly with the federal government. We had programs that came directly from the federal government. I know that one time, money was given federally to the province for health care, and that actually went into lowering taxes.
What more can I say?
