I don't know the per capita number, but the 23 billion was based on 2002 public accounts, with Ottawa showing a surplus (what it collects from provinces - what it gives back) of about 30 billion total.

Ontario's share was 23 billion, Alberta's about 6.5 I think (the rest BC).

Alberta's per capita would definitely be higher, but maybe not much.

Incidentally, the latest provincial reports came out and Alberta is now about 15% of GDP - closing fast on Quebec, bigger than BC, and more than twice as large as MB and SK combined.

Guess who's couch cushions Martin found all this money in to give away.
