Description:

In the fourth installment of the series THE BEST GOVERNMENT MONEY CAN BUY producer Bob Carty looks at corporate welfare - the grants, loans and tax breaks that companies can get from government under a myriad of industrial support programs. The issue is set up by archive tape of the "Corporate Welfare Bum" campaign staged by New Democratic Party leader David Lewis during the 1972 election campaign. Osgoode Hall tax lawyer Neil Brooks explains the Lewis campaign and current unfair elements of the tax system. Host Michael Enright then interviews Walter Robinson, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation and Duff Conacher, coordinator of Democracy Watch. They discuss examples of current corporate welfare in Canada, how it undermines public confidence in government, and what can be done to correct it. <27mn>
