They will probably discuss further reductions in transfer payments to the provinces for social programs financing.</p>\n<p>If I understood correctly what the Prime Minister said to the leader of the Reform Party just now, the government is really determined to offload its debt problems on the backs of the provinces, since he just told the leader of the Reform Party that a transfer of responsibility for post-secondary education, health and social assistance would not entail a concomitant transfer of tax points to the provinces. That is what we understood from the Prime Minister's reply.</p>",
