Two weeks ago, the Minister of Finance said that commitment needed more research. More research? From the C.D. Howe Institute on the right to the Centre for the Study of Living Standards on the left, think tanks have panned the proposal.
Just as important, do the Conservatives not do the research on election promises before they make the promises rather than two years later?
