I find Walker's denounceations from on high of the NDP's current election platform and position within the on going debate to be both uninformed and counterproductive. As one of many economists across the country that was involved, to a greater or lesser extent, in developing the alternative federal budget (which the NDP nationally has virtually adopted), I am offended by Walker's ignorant attack on the policy that so many of economists and other representatives of non-goverment- tal and women's and labour groups developed. In short, he should do some of the work, or shut up. Paul Phillips, Economics, Manitoba.
