Traduction de «begin to increase dramatically and that equalization payments would drop dramatically » (Anglais → Français) :

The federal government recognized that once these resources came on stream, provincial revenues would begin to increase dramatically and that equalization payments would drop dramatically.
Le gouvernement fédéral reconnaissait ainsi que les revenus de la province augmenteraient considérablement une fois ces ressources en exploitation et que ses paiements de péréquation diminueraient en conséquence.

For that reason, an Atlantic accord was signed that protects Newfoundland against a dramatic drop in equalization payments arising out of increasing resource revenues.
C'est la raison pour laquelle l'Accord Atlantique a été signé.
