Complied by a corps of Canadian scholars and experts, it offers both a concise, convenient record of the year's events and an authoritatibve appraisal of developments.The present volume covers events in a watershed year. In constitutional matters 1987 saw the most important even since the passage of the Constitutional Act of 1982: the Meech Lake Accord.In the House of Commons, new drug patent legislation and a bill to control more tightly the influx of immigrants and refugees faced strenuous opposition. A proposal to reinstate capital punishment was rejected in a free vote.Overall the Canadian economy performed well, although slumping oil and gas prices continued to create problems in the western provinces, Ontario Premier David Peterson was re-elected, this time with an overwhelming Liberal majority. But the dominant story in Canadian newspapers throughout the year was free trade with the United States.POLITICAL SCIENCE / GeneralbisacshCanadaEconomic conditions1945-CanadaForeign relations1945-CanadaPolitics and government1945-Electronic books.POLITICAL SCIENCE / General.330.971064Byers R.B., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1042896Byers R.
