Description
This book offers a lucid and concise introduction to Canada's constitution and the many political controversies that surround it.
Author David Milne describes the evolution of the constitution in a balanced, thoughtful account. He describes how the Meech Lake Accord was made and broken and the emergence of renewed demands for radical changes to the constitutional status quo. He records the role of key players in the process, including federal and provincial politicians and the courts.
The Canadian Constitution includes an invaluable chronology of key events in the history of the constitution since 1980, and the full texts of key constitutional documents.
