@Newfoundland + Alberta + BC...well MOST of ROC;
"Did it include a provision for even MORE transfer/equalization payments for that province?" 
Not Again ! Handing out money in Québec is called "pandering". 
Handing out money elsewhere is called "economic stimulus", 
"transfer or equalization payments" or "Canada's Economic Action Plan”. 
If another province negotiates some deal on government responsibilities it's called power sharing. 
If Québec does it it's called "special status" or "privilege". 

...ABOUT "transfer or equalization payments" 
Primo; It’s Québécois money in Canadian dollars
Secondo: Every province (including Alberta) gets transfer payments 
from Ottawa. You are talking about Equalization payment, which Québec is 1 of 6 provinces that benefit from the said program (brought in by the Conservatives in 1957...(more to come)
