The legal and political rules that protect the confidentiality of collective decision making at the highest level of the state executive have come under increasing scrutiny in Canada. Behind Closed Doors: The Law and Politics of Cabinet Secrecy is the first comprehensive work on this controversial doctrine. Yan Campagnolo defends the practice of Cabinet secrecy by demonstrating that it is essential to the proper functioning of responsible government while finding that the secrecy regime at the federal level in Canada is excessively broad and possibly unconstitutional. This regime deprives the courts of the authority to meaningfully review the legality of executive action. Based on a comparative analysis of the rules that apply at the provincial level in Canada and in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand--and an assessment of the latest developments in constitutional and administrative law--this meticulous work develops a feasible solution. Behind Closed Doors proposes innovative reforms that would achieve a better balance between government transparency and confidentiality. Those who operate the levers of power would do well to heed Campagnolo's practical advice."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Executive privilege (Government information) $z Commonwealth countries. 650 0 $a Official secrets $z Commonwealth countries. 650 0 $a Comparative government. 650 6 $a Privilege de l'executif (Information sur l'Etat) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0422689 $z Pays du Commonwealth. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0422689 650 6 $a Secrets d'Etat $0 (CaQQLa)201-0422689 $z Pays du Commonwealth. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0422689 650 7 $a Comparative government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00871341 650 7 $a Executive privilege (Government information) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917869 650 7 $a Official secrets. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01044261 651 7 $a Commonwealth countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240090 776 08 $i Online version: $a Campagnolo, Yan. $t Behind closed doors. $d Vancouver ; Toronto : UBC Press, 2021 $z 9780774867108 $z 9780774867108 $w (OCoLC)1259437933 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230118010548.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9C12DFE96FD11ED8856CD373CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
