Conservatives by introducing the principle of a minimum and a maximum tariff. A chief result of this Liberal protectionism was to give British goods a preference in Canada." (McMenemy, pg.12, 1976) Another significant move made by the Liberals was in 1903, when Prime Minister Laurier announced the construction of a second transcontinental railroad. Laurier's minister of railways dissented on the idea and in turn was sacked by the Prime Minister. "By the election of 1904, the Liberals had acquired MacDonald's railway and tariff policy and could therefore wear the previously Conservative mantle of 'party of national development.'"(McMenemy, pg.12, 1976) The Liberal Party of Canada currently forms the federal government of Canada. Their current leader, Jean Chr
Chretien argued the fact that the Liberals never said that they were going to scrap the GST, and that people should read their policy guide, the "Red Book," to find out where exactly the Liberals stood on the issue of the GST. "We hate it and we will kill it!" (the GST) were the exact words that came out of Jean Chretien's mouth during a debate in the House of Commons over the GST,! before the Liberals took power in 1993. Earlier clips taken from the parliamentary channel and radio interviews seemed to contradict his claim that the Liberals wanted to replace the GST. Despite the controversy, Chretien won his party's leadership quite comfortably, and returned his party to prominence once again in 1993 by forming a federal government with a large majority in the House of Commons. Since the federal election has not been called yet, it has yet to be seen whether or not the Canadian public has lost any faith in the current Prime Minister. To complement that promise by Chretien, Sheila Copps, another prominent Liberal from Hamilton, Ontario, vowed to resign if the GST was not scrapped under a Liberal mandate. Chretien argued during this debate that the Liberals wanted to replace the GST instead of scrapping it. etien, was elected to succeed John Turner in 1990. Looking back, this current Liberal mandate has weathered relatively little criticism until recently. Three years into the Li!beral mandate, controversy began to rise over Chretien's and Copps' promises regarding the GST. The Liberals have made the economic revival of Canada one of their top policy platforms, so much so that in the online edition of the Red Book, economic policy is chapter one. The Liberals explain their approach to economic policy by saying that they will focus on the five major problems facing the current Canadian economy ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. Chretien was subjected to large amounts of public criticism, especially during one of CBC TV's electronic "town hall" meetings. Around the time Chretien was elected leader, questions within and outside the party were raised regarding the political "baggage" that Chretien carried from previous Liberal governments. Copps eventually resigned after much criticism, and won back her seat in her Hamilton riding in a by-election several weeks later.
