1b.3 The Department, on behalf of the Government, will ensure that fiscal disparities across Canada are addressed through the Equalization and Territorial Formula Financing programs such that less prosperous provincial governments are able to provide their residents with reasonably comparable levels of public services at reasonably comparable levels of taxation and that territorial governments can provide services comparable to those provided by provincial governments.
1b.3 Au nom du gouvernement, le Ministère fera en sorte que les disparités financières partout au Canada soient éliminées grâce au Programme de péréquation et à la formule de financement des territoires de manière que les administrations provinciales moins riches puissent offrir des services publics raisonnablement comparables à des niveaux d’imposition raisonnablement comparables, et que les administrations territoriales puissent fournir des services comparables à ceux qu’offrent les administrations provinciales.
