Abstract

This paper examines provincial-municipal equalization grant programs in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. It reviews the equalization grants recommended by the Byrne and Graham royal commissions and compares them to the actual programs in place in the Maritime provinces. The current programs are then simulated using a common data base of the twenty-three independent cities in Ontario. The impacts of the grants on the distribution of wealth among the sample cities are determined. The paper concludes that only the Nova Scotia program is successful at lessening differences in fiscal capacity among municipalities. The paper ends with suggestions for reform that parallel the earlier recommendations of the Byrne and Graham royal commissions. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)
