| A LOOK BACK ON OUR EVENTS |
In terms of equity and efficiency, do the transfer programs to municipalities from the Government of Quebec generate the expected benefits?
|
|
 |
Jean-Philippe Meloche and François Vaillancourt presented the prominent facts of their latest CIRANO report « Adéquation des transferts aux besoins des municipalités. Quelques réflexions sur les enjeux d’équité et d’efficacité », published on February 23rd (Co-authors: Stephanie Boulenger and Brigitte Milord).
The report shows that the transfers to municipalities are coherent with the Quebec Government national policies. In spite of differences in resources and needs between municipalities, the actual system of adjustment seems adequate to satisfy the expectations in terms of equity. It seems that a complex problem exists though at the level of the transfers to the municipalities.
