VANCOUVER—Twenty-five years ago today, Jean Chrétien’s federal government tabled a historic budget that tackled head-on the pressing fiscal challenges facing the nation, finds a new book of collected essays released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
“The 1995 federal budget was historic not just for its bold fiscal reforms, but also for the 10-plus years of prosperity that followed as a result,” said Jason Clemens, executive vice-president of the Fraser Institute and contributing editor of The Budget That Changed Canada: Essays on the 25th Anniversary of the 1995 Budget.
