NATIONAL PRESS THEATREAccession:1986-0564Media:SoundProduction date:1986-03-11Production company:National Press TheatreCountry of production:cnDescription:Press conference held by the Hon. Herb Gray, Opposition House Leader, and George Baker, M.P. and Treasury Board Critic, to discuss the report of the Task Force on Program Review headed by Erik Nielsen, Deputy Prime Minister. Gray and Baker argue that the study team's mandate to determine where tax-payers were not getting value did not define 'value', and point out that government is expected to provide some non-profit services, such as the New Horizons program for senior citizens. In addition, they criticize the study for examining programs like Katimavik, which are already disbanded, and for acting in advance on recommendations taken out of context. <30mn>Subjects:CANADA~GOVERNMENT SPENDING POLICY~GOVERNMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS~PRESS CONFERENCES~TASK FORCE ON PROGRAM REVIEW~BAKER, GEORGE~GRAY, HERB~NIELSEN, ERIKLanguage:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
