Ottawa and provinces in talks over social program funding options
Federal provincial talks on three funding options for social programs opened in Ottawa. Saskatchewan minister Walter Smishek warned poorer provinces would lose revenue under tax sharing schemes, while Alberta's Merv Leitch pressed for more provincial taxing power. Ottawa seeks to shift costs via cash grants and tax powers, with an equalization element to protect low bases. The plan aims to curb rising federal contributions, which total about $5 billion this year.
