The Conservative Party leader said, in 2019, prime ministers unanimously supported a proposal to reform the Financial Stability Program. Canada’s Conservative Party will implement the proposed changes and ensure that provinces like Alberta receive retroactive compensation that can be reinvested.

According to Erin O’Toole, this retroactive compensation will return $5 billion to the counties.

Erin O’Toole also said he wants to remove the cap on the amount of aid given to counties. That limit has been set at $60 per capita since 1987.

The Financial Stability Program was created in 1967 to help provinces facing a severe decline in their revenues. Any county whose revenue from non-natural resources decreases by more than 5% can benefit.

The Conservative Party asserts that since then, Albertans have sent more than $600 billion to the rest of Canada through the parity program, averaging more than $20 billion annually over the past 10 years.
