MacKinnon, Canada's first female finance minister, provides keen observations on how personalities and shared regional perspectives cut across party affiliations in the evolution of federal-provincial deliberations on managing the debt crisis. Although initially opposed to the radical cuts and downloading unilaterally imposed by the federal minister of Finance in his 1995 budget, she now argues that they were essential and analyses how they have irrevocably transformed the Canadian federation. MacKinnon provides a timely analysis of the implications of the fiscal crisis for the future of medicare and Canada's other social programs and shows why politicians must involve the Canadian public in an open and frank debate about the challenges and choices facing the nation.

"MacKinnon provides a remarkably candid and insightful account of the financial crisis that placed Saskatchewan on the brink of bankruptcy. Her insider's account is written in clear, accessible, and even elegant prose. She gives us rare glimpses into the inner workings of government at the highest level, including the importance of personality and leadership style within the policy process, together with serious analysis."
"Janice MacKinnon helped make a sea change happen in Canadian politics and this book is a fascinating account of the real world of public life. There are still lessons to be learned, and hard choices to be made. Janice MacKinnon is one of the few social democrats who really 'gets it.'"
