Parliamentary Perspectives

Launched
in 1998, “Parliamentary Perspectives” is
a series of occasional papers on Canada's legislative institutions,
processes and related issues. This publication is intended to
serve as a vehicle for distributing both studies prepared by academics
and
the reflections of others who have a particular interest in these
issues.
