I read that elsewhere yesterday as well. Is there evidence somewhere that shows a bump from the temporary program from a couple years back?

Seems cheap.
Harper sure has an interesting tactic here. He is hammering the provincial governments in Alberta and Ontario, which will be interesting as clearly they were elected by a majority in the province. Not saying that there is no room there for attacks, but its definitely odd. I mean sure, the Ontario and Alberta governments have their faults or questionable plans (Alberta hasn't even done anything yet), but coming from a guy who hasn't balanced a budget in 8 years and has us sliding back into recession despite claims to the contrary its little rich.
