Abstract: 
The federal Finance Department is spending about $300,000 to produce and distribute 40,000 videotapes justifying government economic policies. The 12 1/2-minute video, entitled Where Do Your Tax Dollars Go?, featuring pie charts and clips of Canadians at work in offices, factories, and fields, promotes the government view that spending cuts are necessary to control the deficit. Copies of the video are being mailed free to libraries, associations and businesses. The $300,000 cost comes in addition to $1.3 million spent early in the fall to send out 10 million brochures promoting the government's economic policies.
