B.C.'s Christy Clark ranks first in fiscal management according to Fraser Institute

Christy Clark tops the list for the best record of Canada's premiers for fiscal management according to a report from the Fraser Institute.

The report's authors based their findings on three main factors: government spending, tax rates and debt. Clark excelled in one category in particular, according to the think tank: running a surplus.

"Premier Clark's performance is largely driven by her ability to manage increases in government spending more prudently compared to her counterparts," said Charles Lammam, director of fiscal studies at the Fraser Institute.

"In addition she's one of the few premiers who has managed to run a surplus, a budget surplus over the course of her tenure."
