But BC doesn't collect the money, Revenue Canada does. While it is
arguably "our" money (taxes paid by BC residents), the province has no
control over it until the feds send the cheque.
It does make one wonder exactly *what* the federal government
intends to do with the money budgeted for BC transfer payments if they
don't give it to the province though.
