If Alberta wants to terminate the deal they should not expect to retain ownership of he resource - since the resource only belongs to them in the context of the deal.

no different than Quebec separation.

I'm afraid Canada would have to get whatever it was due from he agreement.

In other words, even if separation occurred (and It actually cannot) the financial arrangement would stand.

Only Federal infrastructure would have to be bought out Hoid, and it would be a wash between what's owed and what's owing to either Gov.

If they sell oil they pay the Feds

That's the deal.

IF they don't pay the Feds they don't own the oil.

Only on the over collection of taxes on the set limit of profits from energy to the GDP of the Province which turns into a transfer payment to Ottawa. Ottawa does not get a cut in the royalties, they are a parasite sucking off the profits of the Provinces, limiting the Provincial wealth for the good of the country is the excuse. If Hydro-electric energy was ever introduced into the formula it would turn Ont. and Que. into "have" provinces and not see a penny from the West, worst case scenario for the 2 provinces that is why they have boycotted the use of Hydro energy to be added from the beginning.

if the feds lose the portion of money they make from gas and oil then wouldn't Alberta also lose theirs?

Or is this a divorce where one side keeps everything and the other side keeps nothing?

for starters:

Military bases
National Parks
National Highways
First Nations
Parts of Alberta that did no vote for secession

All of these would remain outside of an independent Alberta
