Description

In this revised and updated third edition of Public Policy in Canada, Stephen Brooks examines what governments in Canada do, why, and what the consequences are for the political, social, and economic fabric of the country.

Part II presents extensive and thought-provoking discussions of six significant issue areas in current Canadian policy-making: Macroeconomic Policy; Social Policy; Family Policy; Aboriginal Policy; Cultural Policy; and Environmental Policy.
