Toward a negative income tax in Canada
Richard Gwyn outlines the plan to shift family allowances into refundable tax credits as a step toward a negative income tax. He notes the proposed changes by Jean Chretien and Monique Begin, the political and fiscal implications, and argues the cabinet avoided full universal reform while preserving some middle class benefits.

A Conservative Look at Classroom Expense
Vic Stephens of the Conservative Party critiques BC policy on tax cuts and school funding. He argues lower pupil teacher ratios do not raise achievement and highlights potential $150 million savings by keeping the ratio near 23 to 19, while rejecting taxpayer burden for continued higher costs. He favors full funding of a basic education program without extra wages for overextended classes.

Hewitt to review income assurance for grain producers
North Pacific Grain Producers Association spokesman Joe Weingart expressed optimism after a meeting with Agriculture Minister Jim Hewitt. Hewitt promised a department review of Income Assurance for grain producers, aiming to support both large and small farms and align with Okanagan and Fraser Valley programs. The association, affiliated with BC Federation of Agriculture and chartered six weeks ago, seeks broad collaboration and emphasizes retroactive potential while arguing income aid could keep farmers on the land and restrain inflation.
