Rebalanced and Revitalized – A Canada Strong and Free
Making Canada a world leader in democratic governance and the practice of federalism is not dependent on the size of our population, our military, or our economy. Rather it is largely dependent on the extent to which our citizens and politicians are prepared to commit themselves to this objective and to support and adopt the reforms and policies that will make it a reality. With this end in view, we invite you to examine the policies proposed in this volume, support their adoption, and participate personally in the revitalization of democracy and federalism in Canada.

Contributions à l’assurance automobile: le prix de la procrastination
Le gouvernement du Québec s’est montré réticent à laisser la SAAQ augmenter les contributions d’assurance automobile même si le projet de loi 55, adopté en décembre 2004, enjoignait la SAAQ à les fixer de façon à éliminer son déficit de financement d’ici 2015 et à retrouver la pleine capitalisation d’ici 2020. En tentant de repousser en 2007 le moment où le Fonds d’assurance automobile entreprendra son retour vers l’équilibre financier, le gouvernement Charest a imité celui de M. Landry qui, en fin de mandat, avait reporté après les élections de 2003 le débat public sur cette épineuse question.
