What does that even mean? The government of Alberta doesn't make equalization payments. Transfer payments come from the general revenue of the federal government, collected from taxpayers in every province and territory. Is he saying that Alberta won't receive equalization this year, despite the economic situation? Or does our provincial finance minister not even know how equalization works?
