Follow-up: Federal funds to Quebec

I was asked by a reader to find out, if possible, how much money the federal government had handed over to the province of Quebec over the years.

I have - after much research - found a comprehensive document which details just that. It is based on the Public Accounts for the province of Quebec and provides data from 1986-2008. Scroll up or down the linked page to see what the other provinces have received.

It is interesting to notice that Quebec has been receiving much more federal transfers since 2006, while other provinces have generally stayed at the same level.

What I would really like to know if all of the money for minority language education (English in Quebec) went into the general coffers of Quebec and did any of it trickle down to the English school boards, etc.

Thanks for tracking down the info on federal funds for the provinces. I have just discovered blogging in the past month and have started my own blog (see below). Was wondering if in your research you came across any info on the programs that the feds have delegated to Quebec, such as immigration, with funding also provided by Ottawa. Cheers.
