Canadian representation and Aboriginal peoples : a survey of the issues / by Robert A. Milen.: Z1-1991/1-41-94E-PDF

The question of representation in Canadian political institutions often focuses on electoral representation. The scarcity of Aboriginal representation in Canadian political institutions comes at a time when women, members of ethno-cultural and visible minorities, people with disabilities and special interest groups have their own concerns about representation. Parliamentary institutions and their legitimacy are under attack because their membership does not reflect the composition of Canadian society; nor does the membership of these groups believe their representatives can make a difference in national decision making.
