MacDonald report reshapes Canada’s economic future
The Royal Commission on the Economic Union and Development Prospects for Canada delivers a sweeping plan for major reform. It calls for tax reform to fund a guaranteed minimum income, de-indexed taxes, and higher rates, while pursuing lower federal debt and unemployment with long term measures. The three volumes total 45 dollars, plus 72 background books, with ideas already echoing Mulroney government policy.
