It is not contradictory to be fiscally conservative / responsible and support 1/5th of a resource revenue
surplus as a dividend to citizens. Cutting a cheque out of general revenue when there is no surplus of any variety would definitely not be fiscally responsible.
A three-year-old is as much a citizen as a ten-year-old or an adult. Or is there a point in life where you become a "viable" citizen?
