In Alberta's case, that means payments to have-not provinces. The University of Calgary's economics dean, Robert Mansell, extrapolating from 1999 Alberta Treasury figures, suggests the average Albertan family of four made a net transfer of about $12,000 in the preceding fiscal year. That is, when federal expenditures in the province, including transfer to citizens, are compared to tax revenues sent from Alberta to Ottawa, Ottawa takes in about $3,000 per capita more than it returns to the province.
