Although initially opposed to the radical cuts and downloading unilaterally imposed by the federal minister of Finance in his 1995 budget, she now argues that they were essential and analyses how they have irrevocably transformed the Canadian federation. MacKinnon provides a timely analysis of the implications of the fiscal crisis for the future of medicare and Canada's other social programs and shows why politicians must involve the Canadian public in an open and frank debate about the challenges and choices facing the nation. 606 $aDebts, Public$zCanada 606 $aDeficit financing$zCanada 606 $aFiscal policy$zCanada 606 $aExpenditures, Public$zCanada 615 0$aDebts, Public 615 0$aDeficit financing 615 0$aFiscal policy 615 0$aExpenditures, Public 676 $a339.5/2/0971 700 $aPotter-MacKinnon$b Janice$f1947-$01469200 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783760503321 996 $aMinding the public purse$93859837 997 $aUNINA
