How much revenue are we expecting to lose? And how will the Canadian government manage their debt and avoid a financial emergency?

What makes the current "pandemic" recession so different from a "normal" recession, and how should government policy reflect this reality? In this Maclean's article, Max Bell School Director Chris Ragan and Dr. Paul Boothe break down the role of governments and the shortcomings of conventional stimulus in this pandemic context.</p> Tue, 02 Jun 2020 16:12:00 +0000 chloe.rodriguez@mail.mcgill.ca 1981 at /maxbellschool /maxbellschool/channels/news/engineering-green-recovery-terrible-idea-globe-and-mail-322517 <p>June 1, 2020 | In the coming weeks, the federal government is expected to begin crafting a stimulus package to lift Canada out of the economic crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on which cabinet ministers have been assigned to the project, it seems clear the Liberals want to incorporate their climate goals into the package, addressing climate change and economic recovery at the same time. Is a stimulus package the best way to deal with a pandemic recession? And is mounting a “green recovery” the most efficient strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions?</p> Mon, 01 Jun 2020 14:22:24 +0000 sabrina.gill@mail.mcgill.ca 1976 at /maxbellschool /maxbellschool/channels/news/liberals-and-ndp-have-embraced-contempt-parliament-national-post-322521 <p>June 1, 2020 | Recently, a two party agreement was reached in Parliament: the NDP supported the Liberals’ motion to suspend regular sittings of Parliament until September, while the Liberals promised to push for a federal policy guaranteeing 10 days of paid sick leave to workers. Given the social distancing guidelines espoused by health experts, is the continued suspension of in-person Parliamentary proceedings actually in the interest of public health? Or is it a ploy by the Liberals to avoid answering tough questions and dealing with non-COVID political issues?</p> Mon, 01 Jun 2020 15:11:47 +0000 sabrina.gill@mail.mcgill.ca 1977 at /maxbellschool /maxbellschool/channels/event/implementing-2030-agenda-global-governance-and-rise-non-state-actors-300514 <p><em>This talk by Prof. Sonia Laszlo is part of our Fall 2019 Policy Lecture series.
