Special attention is devoted to topics such as the economic stimulus and stabilization provisions in the budget, specific tax policy changes, financial market provisions, fiscal sustainability of the budget deficits, cost-sharing and federal-provincial fiscal relations, federal equalization transfers since the O'Brien Report, Canada's declining social safety net and EI reform, social policy and anti-poverty provisions, alternative approaches to environmental protection and green initiatives, and emerging fiscal challenges.
