Parliamentary Privilege in Canada: Second Edition

By Maingot, Joseph P.

- Default Title
Description
The body of law entitled "parliamentary privilege" was developed to permit the full unfettered and effective operation of a democratically elected legislative body charged collectively with acting on behalf of and in the interest of the people of Canada. Intended to assist Members of Parliament and interested parties on the subject of parliamentary privilege, Parliamentary Privilege in Canada outlines the rights and immunities of Members of Parliament and of legislative assemblies, including freedom of speech, breaches of privileges and contempts, debates and proceeding in Parliament as evidence in court, privilege of freedom from arrest, and related privileges.

This new edition incorporates changes to the law since the publication of the first edition in 1982, especially the impact of the Canadian Bill of Rights and Freedoms on the privileges, immunities, and rights of each House of Parliament. Parliamentary Privilege in Canada is a valuable asset to professors and students interested in parliamentary law, practice, and procedure in Canada.
