Forum of Federations
A provincial vote does not stop at the provincial border. Debates over autonomy, identity and secession raise a larger question: how do choices within one province reshape the federation as a whole? That question brought the Forum of Federations to the University of Ottawa on September 25 for When Provincial Becomes National: The Alberta Referendum and Quebec’s Election. The discussion examined two distinct political contexts and their implications for Canadian federalism. It explored what drives demands for constitutional change, how secessionist movements differ, and how provincial political choices become national questions. For the Forum, understanding these pressures is part of a broader task: exploring how multilevel systems reconcile competing demands for autonomy and unity. Jamie Thomas represented the Forum alongside Daniel Béland, Kelly Gordon and André Lecours, with Jenn Wallner moderating.Thank you to the University of Ottawa and the Centre on Governance for their partnership. Forum of Federations: real solutions to governance challenges—making multilevel governance work better. ...

That is why intergovernmental fiscal institutions matter. Their advice shapes how public money is shared between levels of government.The scale is substantial:• Kenya: KSh 428 billion to 47 counties (FY 2026/27)• Pakistan: ~PKR 8.85 trillion to four provinces (FY 2026/27)• Philippines: ₱1.19 trillion to 43,000+ local governments (FY 2026)In Manila on 28–29 September, the Forum of Federations convened the first Intergovernmental Fiscal Institutions Network (IGFIN) gathering.Two insights stood out:🔹 Papua New Guinea’s fiscal commission starts with what a service should cost to deliver, not what was spent last year.🔹 Anwar Shah showed that stabilization funds only cushion revenue shocks when backed by clear rules, transparency and oversight.IGFIN will become an annual exchange and a standing platform for peer learning, with a secretariat at the Forum. Success means institutions better able to influence decisions, and funding that follows community needs.With the support of the The World Bank Group and the Philippines Department of Budget and Management.Forum of Federations: making multilevel governance work better for people. ...
