The great interest of this examination of the Canadian Parliament lies in its analysis of how this particular assembly ensures that Canada is a democracy. Ssince Confederation practices that were originally based on British precedent but are now specific to modern Canada have evolved. Students, citizens, and those in the process of becoming Canadians,will benefit from a better understanding of how Parliament functions. Steven Chaplin approaches the topic with over fifteen years' experience as a lawyer to the House of Commons, including as the House's litigator in several important court cases. He grounds his study in the historical origins of the Canadian Parliament, and he discusses each of the constitutional components of Parliament -- the Commons, the Senate, and the monarch. As a discussion of Parliament would be incomplete without mention of political parties, that explanation is also included."-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a Canada. $b Parliament. 830 0 $a Understanding Canada 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305042635.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1119AE4E933C11EEBCD0C43545ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
