1 The passive role assigned to municipal finance is expressed most bluntly in the last paragraph of the Report where the declaration is made that “municipal fiscal policy must be the end-product of a complex series of municipal-provincial-federal financing operations. Its central core, the one certain factor, is the municipality's obligation to provide property services of a fundamental character.” (p. 135)
