In my view, what you have pointed out underscores two things. For obvious and historical reasons, education is a provincial matter, and when the federal government becomes involved in an area of provincial jurisdiction, it's always more complicated and requires more work.
I have already raised the issue of transparency and accountability. It is often difficult in the context of a federal-provincial agreement to ensure that the federal funding is spent where it should be, namely in the classroom. So, as with you, we hope that the money earmarked for education is indeed spent in that area.
