Description
Christopher Garner is a doctoral candidate at Nuffield College, University of Oxford. Polls reveal that a majority of Canadians think Parliament is not working, and that they are wholly dissatisfied with politics. Such levels of dissatisfaction causes those concerned with parliamentary democracy to worry about its current and future effectiveness. This article argues that Canadian reforms have looked far too often at reforming the overarching principles and institutional structures of parliament, ignoring those parts that work well and focusing on those with which we see problems. This article looks at some moderate reforms to the procedures of the House that can be effective in making for more effective government and opposition.
