Author Description

On 26 February 1991, the Hon. Michael H. Wilson tabled this seventh budget, his first in the midst of a recession. The purpose of this review is to highlight some of the major elements of the budget and to put them within the contest of the fiscal framework that the government set out in 1984. It also discusses those aspects of the budget that might be viewed as novel or innovative, compared with the kind of initiatives Canadians have seen in the past decade.
