The Rowell-Sirois Commission and the Remaking of Canadian Federalism: The C.D. Howe Series in Canadian Political History

Autor Robert Wardhaugh, Barry Ferguson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iul 2021
As the Depression ground on in the late 1930s, Canadian provinces faced increasing fiscal obligations but limited funds, while the dominion had fewer responsibilities but lucrative revenue sources. In 1937, a public inquiry was struck. After much federal-provincial wrangling, a plan for a bold new form of federalism based on the national collection of taxes and unconditional transfers of these revenues to provinces based on fiscal need was struck. This astute examination shows that the commission’s report provided a storehouse of innovative ideas and shaped policy—and thinking—about federalism for decades.

Recenzii

"The Rowell-Sirois Commission and the Remaking of Canadian Federalismis a thoughtful and well-written analysis of one of the most important royal commissions in Canadian history. Collecting a very impressive body of primary research, Wardhaugh and Ferguson provide evidence from the key players in politics, academia, the bureaucracy, and especially the commissioners and support staff."—T. Stephen Henderson, Acadia University

"The Rowell-Sirois Commission and the Remaking of Canadian Federalismis an invaluable study of Canadian federalism, past and present: history, political science, public policy, and economics. There’s an enormous amount of new material here that illuminates the precipitation and fallout of the Rowell-Sirois Commission."—lsbeth Heaman, McGill University
