Speech from the Throne outlines Canada's 16 spending priorities
Governor General Adrienne Clarkson opened the second session of the 37th Parliament with a broad Speech from the Throne. The plan lists about sixteen priorities including Kyoto ratification by year end and a decade-long city infrastructure effort, with few costs attached and no major new initiatives beyond health care notes. It notes waiting on the Romanow report and a 2003 follow up. Jean Chrétien appears concerned about the lack of specifics and new ideas.
