No doubt. We need a lot of that money for roads that weren't built, hospitals that were blown up, schools that were never built, and countless other projects that were mothballed in the 80's and 90's when money was tight. Just because there some big surplus now doesn't all of a sudden mean we're smoking cigars wrapped in hundred dollar bills.

Alberta is doing a lot better than most provinces in health care/education.
However, I read Rick Bell from the Calgary Sun quite often and he shows just how much waste and largesse there is in the Klien government. Friends of the premier get their palms greased. A friend of a friend gets a rich contract. I've always wondered why Albertans yell and scream about waste in Ottawa and do nothing about all the items that Rick Bell points out in his articles.
