Summary:

The legacy of Jean Chrétien, Canadian prime minister from 1993-2003, is difficult to assess in the context of the sponsorship scandal and the subsequent cloud of uncertainty surrounding the Liberal Party's electoral prospects. The contributors to this volume use their considerable experience and expertise as policy observers and critical thinkers to provide provocative essays that analyse Chrétien's government and provide insights into Canadian politics and public policy.
