Protecting Canadian democracy: the Senate you never knew
In recent years Canada's Senate, Parliament's chamber of sober second thought, has often been the subject of controversy and calls for reform. 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.
Protéger la démocratie canadienne: le Sénat en vérité--
Le Sénat du Canada a souvent fait l'objet de controverse et de projets de réforme ces dernières années. Protéger la démocratie canadienne : Le Sénat, en vérité ... jette un nouveau regard sur l'histoire, le rôle et l'évolution du Sénat, le situe dans le contexte d'autres systèmes fédéraux et distingue ses functions de celles des gouvernements provinciaux. Les auteurs analysent la façon particulière dont le Sénat exerce ses pouvoirs législatifs par rapport à la Chambre des communes. Ils évaluent également la contribution de la Chambre haute à la formulation et à la révision des politiques en illustrant comment il sert de tribune utile à représenter les divers intérêts régionaux, linguistiques, culturels et socioéconomiques du Canada.
Taking stock: assessing public sector reforms
In: Canadian Centre for Management Development series on governance and public management
"In the last tow decades governments have invested a great deal of time, money, and political capital in reforms to make the public sector more efficient. They have, however, invested little in evaluating the effectiveness of their efforts, accepting many of the reforms because of a belief in a particular approach to governing or an ideological commitment on the part of politicians. This collection of essays "takes stock" of these reform measures and their impact on public administration."--Jacket.
