• Sommario/riassunto: "In the twenty-seventh edition of How Ottawa Spends, leading Canadian scholars examine the Tory agenda in relation to the changing dynamics of a resurgent Western Canadian power base, Quebec-Canada relations, Canada-U.S. tensions, and key Paul Martin Liberal policies." "Contributors explore the challenges created by unsustainable promises by both major parties on expenditures and growth. They also look at the thorny issues of federal procurement policy and ethics, fiscal policy, energy policy, equalization and energy revenues, cancer control, patent policy and access to emergency medicines, the regulation of tobacco, gambling, and alcohol, and efforts to review spending." "How Ottawa Spends offers an invaluable analysis of the priorities of the Harper government in the context of the policies of the defeated Liberal minority government. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
