History will judge the Chretien/Martin Liberals as having done well, on the whole, when it comes to fiscal responsability and managing the budget and economy.

Maybe, maybe not.
I still think their entire "balancing" act was no more than cutting transfer payments and then proclaiming victory in a balanced budget. Its not a bad thing mind you, as it is a fiscally responsible thing to do as the Gov't of Canada. It hurt provinces of course, but really they are not a federal bodies first priority.
