5203 |a“A substantial amount of the political history of the North involves the tension between forces advocating a more decentralized government and forces advocating the continuation of a more centralized government. Our argument in this paper supports decentralization -- self-government for Northern communities who desire it. The argument is based on a number of factors. First of all the North is the most culturally diverse region in Canada. In responding to this cultural diversity, something is needed other than a uniform process for all Northerners. Secondly, Northerners face a number of severe social and economic problems. We feel that individuals in communities and regions in the North are the best resource to be used in tackling these problems. Therefore, we propose the application of the subsidiarity principle as a way of building viable systems of government that are "legitimate" in the eyes of all Northerners"--Executive summary.
