Description
This book probes the politics, economics and management of public expenditure decisions and decision-making processes.
It takes a close look at the national priorities that the Trudeau government set for the spending of federal tax dollars - and draws several disturbing conclusions about contemporary policies and priorities.
How Ottawa Spends Your Tax Dollars provides in-depth, critical analysis of federal expenditure at a crucial time in the nation's development.
