Alternative Federal Budget Papers, 1998 Fairer Taxes, Reinvesting in Health Care, Education ... Book

Paul Martin says we have our economic house in order, but millions of Canadians do not agree. The all-new 1998 Alternative Federal Budget provides a blueprint for a different kind of budget than the Liberal option of continued austerity.

If the Liberal government were to follow the ideas presented in this book, it could maintain a balanced budget, provide tax relief for average Canadians, and have new money to invest in health care, education, children, housing and our damaged social safety net. Technically sophisticated and economically sound, the measures proposed in this budget would bring a sustained economic recovery, lower unemployment to five percent, reduce poverty by 1/3, and reduce the debt burden faster than the Liberal plan.
