- Summary
- "Applying principles rooted in the importance of economic freedom, the acceptance of responsibility, social well-being, and the "right balance" between governments and the private sector, Harris and Manning offer: policies to expand freedom of choice and quality of service in education, child care, and health care; a menu of reforms for renewing Canadian democracy and rebalancing Canadian federalism; policies to maximize economic prosperity by striking new balances between economic freedom and regulation, taxation, and government spending; and a Canadian foreign policy that champions international trade liberalization, strengthening Canada-US relations to Canada's benefit, and the "Tools of Wealth Creation" approach to reducing global poverty." "Looking ahead, this summary volume of The Canada Strong and Free series offers further insights into such issues as our aging population, the productivity challenge, social entrepreneurship, aboriginal self reliance, regional development, environmental conservation, and energy policy."--BOOK JACKET.
