Summary:
"This book offers documentation for the first time of
how
corporations have captured Canadian
government
agencies set up to protect the
public
. Eighteen authors, experts in their fields, describe
how
federal agencies do their job to regulate industries -- oil, nuclear, pharmaceuticals, construction, international mining, finance and more. In virtually every case, they find that the agency has set aside the
public
interest
to favour corporate interests. They also find that
government
legislation, policies limiting regulations, ongoing working relationships with "stakeholders" that often take place in secret, lobbying, financing of regulatory agencies by regulated industries, and job movement between industry and
government
all combine to produce these captive regulatory agencies. The result is that
government
continuously and often disastrously fails to protect the
public
interest
. The results are a degraded environment, increased inequality in society, loss of trust in
government
, and avoidable deaths. Editor Bruce Campbell concludes the book with a set of proposals that would restore the primacy of the
public
interest
in the work of
government
agencies."--From publisher.
