Michael Atkinson and Haizhen Mou, professors at the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Saskatchewan, join Hub Hits to discuss their book, Fiscal Choices: Canada After the Pandemic, which examines the implementation of COVID-19 policy. Their book is shortlisted for the Donner Prize.

The Donner Canadian Foundation created this prize to recognize and reward the best public policy thinking, writing, and research by a Canadian, and the role it plays in determining the well-being of Canadians and the success of Canada as a whole.

Previous honourees have shed light on a wide range of issues on the economy, politics, and society. The prize aims to encourage an open exchange of ideas and to provide a springboard for authors who can make an original and meaningful contribution to policy discourse.

The Hub is proud to partner with the Donner Canadian Foundation to spotlight the five shortlisted titles and their authors in this special series.
