Institutional reforms for representative government / Peter Aucoin, research coordinator.: Z1-1983/1-41-38E-PDF
"In the 1970s, part of the growing fear in Ottawa that public support for provincial institutions and programs was gaining at the expense of federal ones, and that regional concerns were not being adequately reflected in Parliament, derived from the fact that Parliament was composed of political parties with wildly imbalanced regional memberships. This imbalance occasioned a lively though unresolved debate about representational reforms designed to make Parliament (and, through it, the government of the day) more responsive to public, provincial and regional demands. In the search for means of accommodating regionalism within national institutions, much of the attention focussed on electoral reform. Accordingly, various proposals for a modified electoral system were debated."--p. 1.
