I will go back to your statement that you would prefer to see the federal government simply transfer a block of money to the provinces and territories, for them to then disburse as they see fit, obviously with some consultation regionally and so on. Having been a member of the Ontario legislature for over 10 years, I have some sympathy for that position, but now being, obviously, at the federal level, I would say that the federal government does have a responsibility to the taxpayer to make sure that the distribution of these funds is done based on some logical criteria.
In your view, what criteria should be used to disburse funds in the way you suggest?
