This week,
The sounds of hearts breaking and the TSE falling. The government decides to tax income trusts and the 200 billion dollar sector takes a huge hit. Kathleen speaks to the President of Canadian Association of Income Funds. He's upset and thinks the Conservatives will pay the price in Calgary.
But not everyone is equally upset. Kathleen speaks to the opposition critics, Liberal John McCallum and the NDP's Judy Wasylycia-Leis.
Then the man responsible for the financial mood this week, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty tells Kathleen why the Conservative Party broke its election promise.
So how does the Government make decisions like these? The CBC's Louise Elliott drops by with a look into the changes of government policy making. Some groups are complaining alternative viewpoints are being silenced. Others say the Government is simply more focused.
According to Paul Wells, focus is what brought Conservatives to power in Ottawa. The Maclean's columnist speaks to Kathleen about his first book, "Right Side Up: The Fall of Paul Martin and The Rise of Stephen Harper's New Conservatism." The book hit stores this week.
And finally, this week's last words goes to our former host Anthony Germain. Anthony tells Kathleen about his new job in China and what makes Canada appear on the Chinese media's radar.
Listen to The House, Saturday after World Report at 9 a.m. (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
You can also hear The House on Sirius Satellite Radio, 137 at 7 a.m. Eastern Time.
