If Catholic schools received the same level of subsidy as all other religious schools in Alberta, Albertans would save $530 million annually to redirect towards the provincial deficit or hire 5,300 more teachers for the public school system. To use another comparator, if Alberta funded its Catholic schools at 50 per cent of per-pupil funding — the same level as in British Columbia — Alberta taxpayers would save a staggering $880 million annually.

Regarding comments about the constitution and the Alberta Act of 1905, if Alberta wanted to make the change, the Feds would not disagree, and it could be done. The amount of dollars and inequality we are talking about warrant pursuing.
