From the back cover: Environment is now at the top of the public agenda. This publication...reports on two workshops held in early 1988 to discuss aspects of environmental issues...The workshop members were drawn from number of professions and came with wide experience. They were much concerned about environmental issues and determined to recommend action on them. Accordingly, they refused to be constrained by workshop titles or fixed agendas, and ranged widely over a number of important questions. These included the basic nature of the environmental issue; the apparent failure, over the past couple of decades, of our decision making processes and institutions in attacking the causes - "why have we not done better?" - and the reasons for that; and what now must be done. They ended with a series of recommendations which set out the results of their best thinking at that time.

The papers in this volume discuss various aspects of the evolution of Canadian industrial structure in recent years. Industrial structure is defined here in the broad sense - encompassing the composition of national output, the organization of production at the market, firm and plant level, and the pattern of trade."--

This paper discusses the three central issues in the industrial policy debate as it relates to Canada. These are: (a) the problems posed by federal-provincial and interprovincial industrial policy rivalry; (b) the pros and cons of targetting or picking winners; and (c) the role of proactive industrial and other policies in a positive adjustment program."--
