Acknowledgements

A number of individuals are due thanks for their participation, both direct and indirect, in this study. We would first like to thank Jock Finlayson of the Business Council of BC for writing the study's foreword as well as reviewing a number of sections. Kristin McCahon deserves special thanks for her patience and diligence in copyediting, formatting, and producing the final study. We would also like to express our appreciation to Martin Zelder, Claudia Hepburn, Colin Metcalfe, and Michael Walker for peer reviewing this study. They provided a number helpful comments, suggestions, and criticisms. Any remaining errors or omissions are the sole responsibility of the authors.

This study is very much a compilation and application of previous work completed by various Fraser Institute researchers. It is, therefore, important to recognize those researchers. Specifically, we would like to acknowledge the research completed by Claudia Hepburn (education), Cynthia Ramsay, Dr. William McArthur, Michael Walker, and Martin Zelder (health care), Joel Emes and Chris Shafer (welfare), Owen Lippert (privatization), and Fazil Mihlar (regulation and labour markets). In addition, we would like to recognize several external authors upon whose work the Singaporean health care section is based: Dr. Thomas A. Massaro, Yu-Ning Wong, and Mukul G. Asher of the National Center for Policy Analysis in Dallas, Texas.

It is also important to acknowledge previous research by The Fraser Institute which established the foundation and template for this study, namely, the "Change and Choice" series by Owen Lippert and the government report card series by Fazil Mihlar. Others involved in these research projects include Satinder Chera, Marc Law, and Howard Markowitz. This study could not have been completed without the work completed by each of these individuals.

As we have worked independently, the views and opinions expressed in this document do not represent those of The Fraser Institute, its board, or its members.
