SIPP Policy Dialogue Number 14 Winter 2007

Abstract

It would seem a federal election is in the air. While in their early days, the

federal Conservatives approached the task of governing from a fairly rigid, even

ideological, perspective, their governing style has become increasingly politically

astute and responsive as they have become more experienced at governing. Now,

with an election pending, we are not only seeing campaign-style advertisements

designed to weaken any momentum the Liberals may have generated from their

leadership, but we see a government that at first seemed ideologically antienvironment

providing $1.5B for responses to climate change. As the editorial

cartoon on our website this month suggests, everyone in the House of Commons

seems to have turned green these days!
