註釋For many years, debate on Canada's fiscal transfers has focused largely on programs that transfer funds from the federal government to provincial and territorial governments, such as Equalization, the Canada Health Transfer, andthe Canada Social Transfer. Academic studies of these programs have been extensive. Expert panels have opined on them. Discussions among officials are constant. These activities have occasionally led to intense public debate, controversy, and conflict. This attention is understandable, as these programs are both large and easily identifiable. This paper provides an overview of the interprovincial redistributive effects of certain federal programs. How many such arrangements exist? What are the dimensions and characteristics of the most obvious of them? Are unseen regional subsidies large enough to change the way Canadians think about the entire regional subsidy effort?
