House of Commons Procedure and Practice
This reference book is primarily a procedural work which examines the many forms, customs, and practices which have been developed and established for the House of Commons since Confederation in 1867. It provides a distinctive Canadian perspective in describing procedure in the House up to the end of the first session of the 36th Parliament in Sept. 1999. The material is presented with full commentary on the historical circumstances which have shaped the current approach to parliamentary business. Key Speaker's rulings and statements are also documented and the considerable body of practice, interpretation, and precedents unique to the Canadian House of Commons is amply illustrated.

Taming the Prerogative
The prerogative powers of ministers include some of the most important functions of government, such as decisions on armed conflict and the conclusion of international treaties. This report describes how such powers have come to be delegated. It also concludes that they should be more closely regulated. It proposes that the government should prepare a list of all prerogative powers, which would be considered by a parliamentary committee. Appropriate legislation, with any required statutory safeguards, would then be put into place. A draft Bill is appended to the report.
