Food security funding comes with a question beyond how much Ottawa spends: what should that money achieve? Dr. Sylvain Charlebois helps you identify what to ask before treating a spending announcement as a measurable investment.
An operational budget and an investment budget can tell different stories about the same government. But what happens when support for the same agricultural sector crosses both? Follow the accounting question that matters to your tax dollars and to the countries buying Canadian food.
A quiet restaurant dinner brings another question about what you’re paying for. Should children be welcome everywhere, and who accounts for the extra work after they leave? A father of four, Sylvain has an answer that reaches beyond the seating plan and onto the bill.
Topics: food security, budget transparency, agricultural support, kids in restaurants, tipping
