Week ending 19 Feb 2010 Vol 24, No 24
Feature Article: The 2010 budget showed a government wondering how to prepare long-range plans for revenue, spending and saving. (History of balanced budget legislation in Canada in the 1990s, PDF, 192 KB)
Also in this week's edition:
- A six-week campaign to do more surgeries puts the massive increase in the health budget into human terms; it also looks like one end of a political compromise.
- The lobbyist registry looks nearly complete: we look at who the big players are.
- Additional significant details from the budget include a cut in ERCB funding.
- The public accounts committee produces a call for new schools in the Rocky View district, compliments for enforcement of trucking regulations, and information about the state of planning for high-speed rail.
- Three new bills, debate on two already introduced, and complaints about one that passed last year.
- Is Alberta really different from other provinces on the subject of Senate reform? Attitudes here may actually be closer to those in Ontario than to any other province.
- The latest defector from the PCs to the Wildrose Alliance tried hard to find reasons to stay.
