Fixing fiscal federalism Working Paper 8 - October 2005

The current fiscal federalism system is not working for Canadians or Ontarians

Canada’s fiscal federalism is a missed opportunity for improving the potential for long-term prosperity in the have-not provinces. That is the conclusion of Working Paper 8, Fixing fiscal federalism, released today by Ontario’s Institute for Competitiveness & Prosperity at the Economic Club of Toronto. The Working Paper concludes that greater success in closing regional disparities would mean higher prosperity across Canada and more and better opportunities for Ontario to invest in its own productivity and prosperity.
