  • achieving balance spurring growth a shadow Federal Budget for 2012
    C.D. Howe Institute Commentary, 2012
    Co-Authors: Alexandre Laurin, William B. P. Robson
    Abstract:

    Canada is in the happy position of being able to address its fiscal challenges not just through eliminating deficits, but also by promoting growth in the economy and the tax base. This report takes a two-pronged approach: first, an accelerated plan to achieve Budgetary surplus in three years; and second, a series of low-cost initiatives designed to foster economic growth. On top of the strategic review of direct program spending announced in last year’s Federal Budget, initiatives in this Shadow Budget can enhance Federal cost savings, including: restraining Federal employee compensation, rationalizing Canada's tax base and trimming financial assistance to Crown Corporations.

  • Federal Budget Concepts - Bright Lines or Black Holes?
    Public Budgeting Finance, 1998
    Co-Authors: Thomas J. Cuny
    Abstract:

    This article reviews a range of issues that are central to the organizing principles of the Federal Budget - the guidelines that determine whether a transaction belongs in or outside of the Budget; and, if it belongs in the Budget, how it should be recorded. The article starts by discussing the nature of the Federal Budget, the powers and responsibilities of the Federal government, and related issues, and then discusses four broad sets of Budget concepts issues: (I) Budgeting for Earmarked Taxes and Spending; (II) Budgeting for Capital Investment; (III) Classification Categories Within the Budget; and (IV) Evasions of Budgetary Coverage.
