Finally, Mr. Speaker, I have a petition from Albertans from across Alberta calling on the Government of Canada to remove the per capita cap on the fiscal stabilization payments. The fall economic statement increased the per capita limit from $60 to $170, and that cap had not been changed since 1987. The petitioners are calling on the Government of Canada to remove that cap entirely, given that there is no good reason why it is there. They are calling on the Government of Canada to work to ensure that equalization is fair and stable across this country.
In the House of Commons on June 7th, 2021. See this statement in context.
