Economic Note on the liberalization of the Canadian postal sector
After months of unsuccessful negotiations and conciliation talks, Canada Post workers voted by a margin of 94.5% in favour of going on strike at the end of May if they do not reach a negotiated settlement with their employer. The time is right to evaluate the costs that a postal service monopoly imposes on consumers and on the economy as a whole. To determine which reforms might lead to the best postal service at the best price, we should study the experiences of other countries.

Overview of the size of the Quebec government's debt and of its dangers
The Quebec government's 2011-2012 Budget states that the public sector debt has risen to 235 billion dollars on March 31, 2011, an increase of 13 billion over last year. Representing 74% of GDP, this debt is even more of a concern in the context of the aging of the population and of current deficits. For each of the past two Quebec budgets, the MEI has published a Viewpoint on the debt of the Quebec government that explained various concepts related to debt and compared the public indebtedness of the provinces.

Economic Note on the historical results of the SGF
The Quebec government has just announced its intention to merge the Société générale de financement (SGF) and Investissement Québec. However, nothing indicates that their respective mandates will be modified. The debate that has begun over this reform offers the perfect occasion for evaluating the historical results of the SGF. Doing so will clarify why it is important to redefine the mandate of the government corporation that will result from this merger. The province of Quebec will benefit if the government leaves the financial risks associated with business development to the private sector while guiding economic development through an appropriate regulatory framework.
