I But wait! The NOV. 12 budget has dropped "

what they callpthe

"revenue guarantee" _ which is linked in some way to the EPF fornula. 7

‘The goVernment, it

seems, did live up to - its promise of EPF cutbacks. This revenue guarantee was introduced

in 1972 to help the

' provinces adjust to

income tax reform of that year.’ It was

' supposed to end in 1977 .

but was continued by the government at that time

‘by an adjustment through

the new EPF fornula. By dropping this

‘ revenue guarantee , 4 the

government feels it's well within its limits to do this because they say it was never intended for '

the financing of health care and PSE. 'Ihe provinces, Wever, argue that it should not be taken into account in conputing federal

' contributions for these

programs. The feds

say, then, "if that's the case,renova1 of this revenue guarantee will

_not lower the level of

federal support in areas of health care and PSE.

So, the ball now seems to be in the provincial court. Although there is a reduction in general revenue to the province,

' they say that it's not

tied to programs coming under the jurisdiction of the EPF program. It's now up to the provinces to make the next Hove.

No one knows what that

may be.

In conclusion, even through the constitut- ional struggle has ended, the EPF cutbacks ‘

V are still undecided.

Were cuts to EPF funding brought down in the budget or not? We . may have to wait for a while for the answer to that question until somebody figures out what's going on!!
