Incorrect. The transfers that will occur to provinces that have not since made deals with the federal government is exactly in line with the formula that Flaherty brought in to replace Paul Martin's 10 year deal of 6% per year increases to make up for the cuts that he made while eliminating the deficit. For some reason, Harper apparently continued the 6% for an additional year or so. People are mad at the Liberals for running deficits yet they want them to spend more - how does that work?!
