SYNOPSIS: This book is the first full-scale study of the history of the Civil Service Commission of Canada, an organization launched on a wave of civil service reform to uphold the merit principle of selection. The historical narrative culminates in the 1967 legislation which reshaped personnel policy in the federal bureaucracy and set the Public Service Commission on its contemporary path. Attention is directed to the economy-efficiency role of the Commission, the changing perspectives of the staff associations, and the growth of the Treasury Board's powers in personnel policy. In the final chapter, the authors examine the effects of the administration of the merit principle on personnel policy regarding veterans, French Canadians, and women. J. E. Hodgetts is Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto, and President and Vice-Chancellor of… Read More

Toronto: McClelland and Stewart Limited BOOK: Corners, Spine Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards. DUST JACKET: Repaired; Lightly Creased; Moderately Chipped; Slight Yellowing Due to Age; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SYNOPSIS: What does the French Canadian see when he looks at himself? Is there really a French Canadian mentality? What does Quebec want? Who is the Separatist? Any imaginative and feasible solutions to our current national crisis must be based on comprehension of the answers to these fundamental questions. Richard Jones is the only Protestant English-Canadian teacher on the staff of an all-French college in Quebec, and it is from this unique position that he places the reader's heart and mind on the wave length of Quebec feelings. He interprets the French-Canadian outlook sensitively and sympathetically but does not agree with all the attitudes or accept all the prejudices. Community in Crisis explains the deep-rooted frustrations and harsh realities which confront the… Read More

Toronto: Doubleday Canada Limited BOOK: Corners, Spine, Boards Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards; Edges Lightly Soiled. DUST JACKET: In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SYNOPSIS: Three years into Jean Chretien's mandate, Canadians are still unsure just what to make of his government. Elected on a traditional Liberal platform of government intervention and strong federalism, the Liberals in power have presided over an astonishing revolution in public finances while tripping over one another in their haste to cede federal power to the provinces. More surprising still, a prime minister from Quebec has badly misread his native province and Canada finds itself on the brink of possible break-up. Now two of Canada's most respected and well-connected journalists bring us a compelling inside account of the high drama that is being played out in Ottawa. They focus on two powerful personalities, the prime minister and his minister of finance, surely the most remarkable governing partnership in… Read More
