Of the $6.4B announced for Ontario PSE yesterday, 45% or so was just taking $ out of SFA and handing it to institutions.
Another chunk of $, maybe as high as $3B (unclear) involved taking $ announced in '24 and '25 & putting it into the base out to 2029-30
Actual new $ over 2025-26 base? $0-2B.

Map in 3D…you start to see the issues. Now, there *was* a better solution...but it would cost you.
