DESCRIPTION:This talk by Prof. Daniel B茅land is part of our Winter 2020 Pol
 icy Lecture series. These academic talks are intended for 9I制作厂免费 students\
 , alumni and faculty.\n\nHow should federal money be distributed to Canada
 鈥檚 provinces? The federal equalization program attempts to address fiscal 
 disparities between provinces. In part because of its explicitly redistrib
 utive nature\, equalization is a source of political controversy. The rhet
 oric of equalization critics such as Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has beco
 me increasingly contentious at a time when the federal program features pr
 ominently in debates over issues such as carbon pricing and pipeline build
 ing. How can we make sense of these recent developments? What is the futur
 e of equalization in Canada and what steps can we take to improve the prog
 ram\, from a political standpoint? The answers to these questions are not 
 straightforward but addressing them now is particularly vital in the conte
 xt of a Trudeau Liberal minority government that faces increasing pressure
 s to reform fiscal federalism in Canada.\n\nRegister Here.\n\nAbout Daniel
