Most of the world's federations have some kind of formal equalization scheme, that is, a way of transferring of funds to states or provinces for the purpose of correcting for differences among sub-national governments in their capacity to raise revenue and fund programs (the United States is one notable exception).
As the economist Robin Boadway points out, equalization is important to federations because it ensures that all citizens, regardless of which state or province they live in, are treated equally in the sense that they can have access to the same range of public policies.
Speaking at the International Conference on Federalism 2002, which follows up on the 1999 Conference held in Mont-Tremblant, Canada, the Honourable Stéphane Dion, President of the Privy Council and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, stated that equalization is useful in a federation, not only for considerations of equity, but also for reasons of efficiency.

 Finance: Federal Re-investment in Canada's Health Care System
On June 29, 1998, the federal Department of Finance released the results of public opinion research that had been conducted to survey the attitudes of Canadians about public policy choices.
As Finance Ministers have documented in previous papers, the current federal policy of providing $12.5 billion per year in CHST cash means that real per capita funding declines into the future as both inflation and population erode the real value of the cash.
They invite the federal Minister of Finance to bring his plan to the table to ensure that the health care system is preserved into the future.

 Planned tax protectionist for fund firms
Finance may not intend to protect the mutual fund industry, but that would be the net result.
Finance will accept comments on its proposed new legislation until Sept. 1, which means there's still a little time left to argue for some kind of exemption for U.S. investment funds, including exchange-traded funds.
According to the Finance official, the change came after the department lost confidence that U.S. tax laws were stringent enough to keep track of what Canadian investors were earning south of the border.
