- Abstract
The article focuses on the spendthrift policies of premier Dalton McGuinty of Ontario and the need for the province to adopt a serious plan to stabilize its economic conditions. McGuinty was not able to control government spending as he increased program spending from 70 billion dollars in 2003-2004 to 94 billion dollars in 2007-2008 in the first year of his tenure. A study on the Fiscal Performance of Canada's Premiers have highlighted the poor performance of McGuinty.
