“This will stand as the landmark text in Canadian fiscal federalism, both for its comprehensive scope and for its interdisciplinary ambitions. And yet, it is lively! The contributors succeed in capturing the technical complexity of funding formulas without getting lost in them, because their gaze is always fixed on the wider policy and political choices and consequences.” Peter Graefe, Associate Professor of Political Science, McMaster University

“Canadian federalism is complex and messy. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed how important fiscal federalism is for solving major policy problems, like health care or long-term care. The editors have brought together an impressive array of authors from different disciplines who have intimate knowledge of how fiscal federalism works at the national, regional, and local levels. This book is for anyone who wants to understand the issues, tensions, and choices in fiscal federalism. Highly recommended.” Haizhen Mou, Professor at the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, University of Saskatchewan

“This is a gem of a book on a topic that has preoccupied political decision-makers in Canada since the federation’s birth in 1867. Beyond dealing with the big three transfers – equalization, the Canada Health Transfer, and the Canada Social Transfer – the authors searchingly address under-researched areas including federal transfers to First Nations, infrastructure spending, early learning and childcare, and municipalities. Both scholars and decision-makers will benefit immensely from this comprehensive book.” Gregory P. Marchildon, Professor Emeritus at the Institute of Health Policy, Management, and Evaluation, University of Toronto
