The language of the split between paying down debt/ deficit and funding the Canadian Energy centre is lifted straight out of the policy for TIER. IMO super lazy and a bad look, of course, but not sinister in that they were really trying to hide the CEC budget.
Currently, several groups are lobbying for the 50% to ERA to be increased to 100%. I anticipate they will be successful.
