Casey calls for clarity on Crown Share Adjustment Payments with open letter to Finance Minister 

            

October 9, 2007

 

Ottawa –  Bill Casey, M.P. today called on the Finance Minister, the Honourable Jim Flaherty, to provide him with a list of the payments made by the Government of Canada to the Province of Nova Scotia under the Crown Share Adjustment Payment obligations.

      Casey believes that the Government of Canada still owes the province based on previous legislation relating to Crown Share Adjustment Payment.

      The letter to Minister Flaherty is attached for review, and so are pages from “Appendix A to the Submission by the Province of Nova Scotia to the Expert Panel on Equalization and the Territorial Financing Formula – Recommendations for Equalization Should Not Undermine the Nova Scotia Offshore Accords” (2006), better explaining the Crown Share Adjustment Payment
