Sommario/riassunto

Procedure in the Canadian House of Commons is an attempt to survey the whole field of Canadian procedure historically and analytically, to establish what the procedure of the House was in 1867 and to trace its slow development-its evolvement through principles, traditions, rulings, and precedents-to the present time.
