Demand for a public inquiry into L'Isle-Verte fire

Budget reaction from Marie-Soleil Tremblay

The new Liberal government -- with no need to dress up its finances before an election -- dropped its first dour-sounding budget yesterday. No immediate dip into our wallets, but get ready for restraint, restraint, restraint. For a closer look at this budget, we're joined by Marie-Soleil Tremblay. She's an accountant and professor at l'École nationale de l'administration publique, and a researcher with the school's centre on Governance. Listen here.
