Leading Canadian policy analysts were invited to share their views and discuss the implications arising from the 2000 budget. "The 2000 Federal Budget" is the proceedings of this important policy forum and brings together the findings of these specialists.In this collection of short papers and commentaries the authors focus on a range of issues and implications, beginning with assessments of the budgetary process as we enter the new millennium. They look at the macroeconomic effects, taxation and expenditure aspects, and the implications for social policy of measures contained in the 2000 budget. They examine the alternative perspectives reflected in successive Liberal budgets and conclude with a rapporteur's report on the proceedings.Contributors include Keith Banting (Queen's), Lise Bastarache (Royal Bank), Robin Boadway (Queen's), Thomas Courchene (Queen's), Peter Dungan (Toronto), Rick Egelton (Bank of Montreal), Pierre Fortin (UQAM), Harvey Lazar (Queen's), Michael Mendelson (Caledon), Jack Mintz (C.D.Howe), Lars Osberg (Dalhousie), William Robson (C.
