And like I said, if you're putting the money gathered from natural resource royalties into the Heritage Fund, and not spending it year after year on 'budget' items, then maybe you sit down and say that taking $2 billion out of the fund and investing it in something like carbon capture would be a good idea going forward. That is how that money should be spent anyways. Or maybe the surplus you're running should be spent there.

I just hate it that year after year money from those royalties is being allocated to budget items, when it should be saved, and tax revenue should be used to fund the budget. Another bust and Alberta is starting to run up a BIG debt tab.
