In this volume, scholars and legislative staff members provide an overview of the role of provincial and territorial legislatures in governmental processes and in shaping their respective societies.A number of common themes are addressed: the historical development of the individual legislatures; the influence of political culture; the social backgrounds of the members; the structure and effectiveness of the committee system; the influence of political parties and of local customs on members' behaviour; mechanisms for enhancing government accountabiolity; members' services and facilities; and recent reforms.Together these papers offer an accessible and straightforward guide to key political institutions, revealing both the elements they share and those that make each legislature distinctive. 606 $aLegislative bodies$zCanada$xProvinces 607 $aKanada$2gnd 607 $aQuebec$2gnd 607 $aCanada$xPolitique et gouvernement$vCongres 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government$vCongresses 608 $aQuebec (1987) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLegislative bodies$xProvinces. 676 $a328.71 702 $aLevy$b Gary 702 $aWhite$b Graham$f1948- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780663003321 996 $aProvincial and territorial legislatures in Canada$93859488 997 $aUNINA
