There's nowhere else it comes from, so we don't have access to any pot of gold here in the federal government that the provinces don't have access to. In fact, in many instances the provinces have more, because they get resource royalties--and that's their right, they should. You're from Alberta, and that would be especially the case in your province.
I still haven't heard why this localized service would be provided by the federal government as opposed to a local government.
