1: Introduction
Why this report matters
This report answers questions, raises new questions, and willwe hopestimulate
debate. Very importantly, it does this using the most straightforward and reliable data
available, as free as any data can be from spin and distortion.
Alberta is a wealthy place, but how wealthy? Where is that wealth going?
Is health-care spending out of control? How much does the Alberta government
depend on royalties? Does our province spend more or less than other provinces?
Are taxes eating up more and more of our income?
These questions are vitally important to Alberta, both today and in the long term. So,
how do we address them?
Its not enough to rely on our gut feelings, on what we read and hear in the media, or
on what our government tells us.
Unfortunately, it can be difficult to make sense of government finances, even if you
follow them closely. Governments often announce the same funding several times, or
quietly cancel or delay budgeted spending. Government departments are created
and dissolved, program names and mandates change, and financial deals with other
partners come and go. Governments, opposition parties, interest groups and
lobbyists each have agendas, and media reports can be confusing.
Good decisions depend on good information, but good information can be hard to
find.
This report provides some of that good information. It gathers together arms-length,
highly credible data on Albertas provincial spending and revenues, and examines the
overall trends. It also compares Albertas data with data from Canadas other
provinces.
Albertas economy grew in real terms per capita by 76 percent from 1989 to 2008,
reaching a level 73 percent higher per person than the average of the other
provinces. Compared with the rest of Canada, Alberta is a very wealthy place.
Personal income in Alberta, after adjusting for inflation, rose from $28,440 per
person in 1989, to $39,524 in 2008. The 2008 average for the other nine provinces
was just over $31,000.
Corporate profits have soared in Alberta during the past two decades, from $3,635
per capita in 1989 to $15,050 in 2008 (adjusted for inflation)a rise of 414 percent.
In 2008, corporate profits per capita in Alberta were well over three times the
average in the other nine provinces.
From 1989 to 2008, Alberta government revenues rose 23 percent when measured
as dollars per capita. But the economy grew far faster than the governmentso,
when measured against the soaring GDP (gross domestic product), revenues fell 25
percent. As a portion of the economy, Alberta collects significantly less than other
provinces.
Personal and corporate incomes are significantly higher in Alberta than in the other
provinces. But because income tax rates are lower than other provinces, Alberta
collects about the same number of dollars per person in income taxes. In other
words, when compared to an average of other Canadian provinces, our government
collects a significantly smaller proportion of our personal and corporate incomes.
Albertas huge government revenues from royaltiesmore than all other provinces
combinedgive it a massive advantage. For example, from 2003 to 2007 Albertas
royalties per capita averaged $3002 each year; the average for the rest of Canada
was $184.
The Alberta government achieved surpluses in the mid and late 1990s by cutting
public services to a level far below the Canadian average. Since then, Albertas
surplus and deficit situation closely mirrors the rise and fall of royalties.
Albertas spending has risen and fallen erratically, but total government spending in
2008, adjusted for inflation and population growth, was 3.7 percent lower than in
1989.
For the past six years, Albertas per capita spending has been close to the average
of the other nine provinces.
Since 1995, Albertas spending on social services has been well below other
provinces.
Spending on housing, even with recent increases, remains well below 19891993
levels.
Spending on health has been very unstable, with a modest long-term rise. Spending
on hospitals, physicians, and prevention has not increased, but spending on other
areas has, and this needs further study.
Albertas spending on health, adjusted for its younger population, is higher than the
Canadian average.

While the proportion of income collected in taxes has stayed in the 46 percent
range, corporate and personal income has grown. As a result, the Alberta
government collected a gradually increasing number of dollars per capita through
personal and corporate income taxes since 1989, even after inflation is considered.
14
Corporate and personal incomes in Alberta are higher than the Canadian average,
but income tax rates are lower. As a result, despite our provinces comparative
wealth, the Alberta government collects about the same amount of actual dollars in
income taxes per person as other provinces. (Figure 4.5.)

c. Property taxes, sales of goods and services, and other taxes are similar
Albertas revenue from property and other taxes, and from the sale of goods and
services, is very similar to other provinces. The notable exceptions were in 199596,
when the province assumed control of education property taxes, and in 200102,
when the province sold rights related to electrical deregulation. (Figure 4.7.)

First, as this report has shown, the sudden surpluses of the mid-1990s were not
caused by any surge in Albertas revenues. Subsequent sections of this report will
show that Albertas surpluses from 1994 to 1999 were achieved largely by cuts in
public servicesto levels far below the Canadian average.
Second, Albertas surplus and deficit strategies were strongly influenced by the
flow of royalties. Royalties were low through the 1990s, so surpluses were
achieved through cutting public services; royalties were high through the 2000s,
so public services could be restored while surpluses remained large. (Compare
figure 3.9 with this figure.)
21
22
23
24
Both of these claims are true, because Albertas government spending has been so
erratic. From 1989 to 1994, spending stayed in a narrow range; then in 1995, 1996,
and 1997 it was cut dramatically, by a total of 20 percent. It began clearly increasing
in 2000, and jumped to $8242 in 2001.
This was an election year that saw huge spending on energy rebates to
compensate for the impact of electricity deregulation, as well as generous publicsector labour settlements. Spending then dropped 11 percent the following year,
reflecting global economic uncertainty caused by the 9/11 attacks and fears over a
drop in royalty revenues. Then, from 2004 to 2008, spending increased a total of 17
percent, from $7,486 to $8,784 per person.

a. Adjusted for age, Alberta effectively spends more on public health care
However, spending on health care is affected by the age of a provinces population. In
general, the higher the proportion of elderly people in a population, the greater the need
for spending on health care.
The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) adjusts provincial spending on
health care to reflect the different age structures of each province. Because Alberta has
a younger population than other provinces, but spends nearly the same per capita as
other provinces, by this measure it effectively spends more on health care, vying with
Newfoundland and Labrador for top spot.
CIHIs age-adjusted calculations for Albertas health spending are higher in comparison
to the unadjusted figures from Statistics Canada (Fig. 7.6).

1. Albertas spending on hospital care has followed a roller coaster path for the past
20 years, as the government spent and cut, spent and cut. From $1,021 per
person in 1989, it fell to $854 two years later, then rose to $993 in 1993, only to
be sliced to $636 in 1996. After a one-year rise of 13 percent it fell to its lowest
modern level, $603 per capita in 1998. That is a 40 percent drop in spending per
capita on hospital care over ten years.
Spending on hospitals rose modestly in 1999, then fell back to near-record lows in
2000 and 2001. Since then, it has risen sporadically, rising quickly to $936 per
capita in 2005, then dropping slightly, then rising again to $997 by 2008.
42
After all the ups and downs, the Alberta government spent less per capita on
hospitals in 2008 than it did in 1989.
2. Public spending on medical care (i.e., physician treatment, public drug programs,
etc.) also swung significantly up and down, moving mostly within a range of $800
to $1000 per capita. It has not varied as erratically as spending on hospital care,
but it is difficult to see a clear long-term trend.
3. Preventive care takes a consistently very small portion of health spending. While
it rose in the past 20 years, it never consumed as much as $100 per capita
annually.
4. The most marked rise in Albertas public health care spending has been in the
category of other health services. Having stayed consistently at about $200 per
person each year from 1989 to 1997, it began to rise sharply in 1998. By the year
2002, spending in this area had tripled to $666. Since then, its rise has slowed; by
2008 it reached $686. In 1993, the start of our study period, spending on other
health services stood at about one-fifth the level of either hospital care or medical
care. By 2008, it had soared to about two-thirds.
This category is the only category to show a large sustained cost increase in the
past 20 years, and accounts for easily the largest part of the long-term increase in
Albertas health care spending.
What does this category include? Among many things it includes lab services,
administration, ambulances, expenditures on ancillary enterprises, and grants to
health-oriented organizations. (Appendix B.) Given the data available for this
research, it is not possible to know which specific areas have been driving up
costs, or why, but it is an important area for further analysis.
Clearly, though, the answers to rising health-care spending need not lie in
sacrificing hospital care, medical care or preventive care.

Albertas government manages each of these streams of funds separately (along with
the programs they support), as if they were completely unrelated. Yet housing,
health, education, justice, poverty, and social problems are profoundly
interconnected.
Consider the amount the Alberta government spent per capita in 2008 on the
following areas (2002$):
Funding Stream (2008)
Health Care:
2,750
Education (K-PSE):
2,620
Social Services:

Housing:

Social Services, App. C, Table C5; Protective Services, App. C, Table C2; Housing, App. C, Table C4.
An extra $55 a year would increase the budget for housing by a huge 50 percent, but
would only add 2 percent to the health care budget.
Where would those $55 have a bigger impact?
Who in government is asking questions like that?

In short, corporate profits in Alberta grew 314% from 1989 to 2008, even after
adjusting for inflation and population growth.
To put it differently, in 1989 total corporate profits in Alberta were a bit less than
provincial spending on health care and social services combined; by 2008, corporate
profits were 70% greater than all provincial spending combined.
This rate of increase was far faster than overall economic growth, which meant that
corporate profits increased from less than one-tenth of Albertas GDP, to nearly a
quarter.
Corporation income taxes rose along with the rise in corporation incomes, but
because Albertas corporate tax rates are relatively low, a correspondingly small
portion of this wealth went to the provincial government. In 2008, provincial income
taxes took 7.2 percent of corporate profits, so of the $15,050 in profits per capita,
corporations paid $1,077 in provincial income taxes.
And unlike personal income, or provincial government revenues and spending,
corporate profits comprised a much larger portion of the GDP. In fact, corporate
profits more than doubled their share of the economy from 1989 to 2008, rising from
9.6 percent to 22.6 percent.
The very high corporate profits in Alberta stand out when compared to other
provinces. Statistics Canada data indicates that, in 2008, corporate profits per capita
in Alberta were well over three times the average of $4,428 in the other nine
provinces.
While spending on public services in Alberta is very close to the Canadian average,
corporate profits are 340 percent higher than the Canadian average, and have been
far higher throughout the entire 20 years covered by the data.
53
Where are the high profits coming from? Are they spread widely across all
sectors and most businesses, or are they concentrated in Albertas dominant oil
and gas industry? If they are concentrated in oil and gas, are they higher in
conventional oil, or in natural gas, or in the oilsands?
Are the high profits spread across large and small corporations? Across local,
Canadian, and multinational corporations?
Are profits high in Alberta because corporate taxes are lower, attracting more
corporations to locate here, and to grow? If so, how will Alberta defend this
advantage if other jurisdictions decide to duplicate it?
54
Are profits high in Alberta because the energy sector, especially the oilsands, are
extremely capital intensive, so the higher profits are merely a reflection of higher
capital investment? In short, are the higher rewards in Alberta a reflection of
higher risks?
Are higher profits a result of the Alberta government selling its oil and gas
resources to corporations below market value, which allows the corporations to
collect the full value of the resource instead of the government?
How do the benefits play out? How much of the profit stays in Alberta? In
Canada? In short, who really benefits?
What is the appropriate perspective for the government to take, when long-term
spending on public services is flat and the real value of the Heritage Fund has
dropped, while corporate profits have soared?
