The Nova Scotia Government's program review has attracted a great deal of criticism, much of it attacking the premise on which program review is based. In The Sunday Herald, AIMS President Brian Lee Crowley reviews the case for program review and concludes that the arguments for it remain compelling.

In this 1999 column in the Chronicle Herald, Fred McMahon writes "Many historians claim Confederation's trade barriers devastated the Maritime economy, and there's some truth in that.
