In The Guardian, a multidisciplinary group of contributors examines the Ministry of Finance of Ontario since the Second World War. During the last sixty years the Ministry was transformed from a relatively small 'Treasury' to a sophisticated policy machine. What started as a modest bookkeeping operation evolved into a key bureaucratic and policy agency as the government of Ontario assumed a leadership position in developing the province.These essays reveal Ontario's 'finance' as a dynamic policy issue shaped by the personalities of premiers and ministers, the energies of public servants at all levels, and a critical dialogue between political and administrative worlds. Drawing on different methodologies, this collection profiles a ministry as policy entrepreneur, spender, revenue generator, capacity builder, budget director, program manager, and intergovernmental agent. The Guardian fills a significant gap in public administration literature and in so doing describes how Ontario's Ministry of Finance defined its role as 'guardian.' 410 0$aInstitute of Public Administration of Canada series in public management and governance. 606 $aFinance, Public$zOntario 606 $aFiscal policy$zOntario 606 $aBudget$zOntario 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFinance, Public 615 0$aFiscal policy 615 0$aBudget 676 $a336.713 702 $aDutil$b Patrice A.$f1960- 712 02$aInstitute of Public Administration of Canada. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457288803321 996 $aThe guardian$92146657 997 $aUNINA
