Days of Reckoning
The underground royal commission report's ambitious investigation of
how our tax dollars are spent takes us across the country, from British
Columbia to Prince Edward Island. For the first time, a group of citizens
were asking the questions - of politicians and bureaucrats, academics and
policy experts, farmers and small business owners. "Days of Reckoning looks
at how Canada amassed an enormous debt, while "Secrets in High Places" examines
how government decisions are made.
 |
In "Days of Reckoning", seven young researchers set out on a
cross-country journey that would profoundly change their view of
government. Their goal: to discover why their generation had been
saddled with a crippling $580 million debt from those responsible
for managing this once prosperous country. The young researchers
conclude their journey by taking the government of Canada to court
in a mock trial with real lawyers in front of a respected judge in
an attempt to hold the government accountable for its actions. |

Secrets in High Places
 |
"Secrets in High Places" further investigates government spending
in a 2-hour documentary that examines the Canada Infrastructure
Works Program, a government initiative that promised to repair
the country's crumbling infrastructure and create jobs. The results
reveal the alarming truth about the nature of government spending
in Canada: it is a shamefully unaccountable system, where those
responsible for the public purse are often concealed behind a wall
of bureaucracy, creating a veil of secrecy which alienates the
ordinary citizen. |
