Dear Bill and Justin, and now you know why Harper didn't like first ministers' meetings.   It is nothing more than a pile of politicians trying to get another level of government paying their bills.
BTW, the fact that so many provinces are running huge deficits in the face to soaring federal transfers says a lot about the provinces fiscal competencies. 
Oh, wait, after inheriting 2 years of the balanced budgets, you are also now running multi-billion dollar deficits also says a lot about your fiscal incompetency.
