Full federal-domain replacement ledger
The table below is the transition costing behind the federal replacement figures. 'Continuing' is spending Alberta already incurs. 'Added running' is the operating cost of the federal-tier function. 'Payouts' are payments to citizens. 'Fees' are dedicated revenues. 'One-time' is transition and setup cost.

The largest added running costs are policing and border services, the initial defence establishment and social-programme delivery. The pension domain retains C$35.0 million of administration and its one-time setup, but the C$2,132.5 million of federal retirement-income payouts is funded through the Alberta Pension Plan under Section 6 rather than from general taxation. The Defence and Security line also shows the C$58.2 million one-time setup and C$20.2 million capital amount discussed in Part II.
How this table reconciles.
- Added running cost plus payouts is C$13,002.7 million, which is exactly the federal-replacement column in Table 3.
- The memo column adds a further C$5,889.2 million of health and social transfer replacement.
- That amount is already inside the C$70.4 billion of existing Alberta operating spending and is therefore not counted a second time in the ledger.
- Fees are dedicated revenues shown for information and are not deducted from any column.
