Protecting Canadian Democracy examines the history, role, and evolution of the Senate; places it in the context of other federal systems; and contrasts its role with that of provincial governments. Contributors analyse the Senate's use of its legislative powers, comparing it with the House of Commons, and assess the Senate's contribution to public policy development and review, showing how the upper chamber functions as a forum within Parliament for the representation of Canada's diverse regional, linguistic, cultural, and socio-economic interests.POLITICAL SCIENCE / GeneralbisacshPOLITICAL SCIENCE / General.328.71/071Joyal Serge1945-972900Canadian Centre for Management Development.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782078103321Protecting Canadian democracy3750438UNINA
