The Legislature's development is documented as part of Yukon's fascinating social, economic and political history. The book covers the period from 1909, when the Territorial Council became wholly elected, to 1961, when all Yukon people could vote. It also contains biographical information about all members elected during the Yukon Legislature's first century."--Back cover.
Legislatures provides a democratic audit of Canada's provincial and national representative assemblies. It argues that the problem existing in these bodies is not a lack of talent so much as a lack of institutional freedom. Specifically, the problem is largely one of resources and rules. The move to a more multi-party system nationally and the increasing tendency to downsize provincial assemblies has placed additional hurdles in the path to good governance. Docherty uses the series' criteria of responsiveness, inclusiveness, and participation to evaluate critically the performance of legislatures in Canada, and makes recommendations for legislative reform in Canada.
