He discusses how the processes that support cabinet are affected by the considerable power of the first minister, and looks at the ways in which they permit the involvement of other elected members and the public." "Taking the view that characterizing our Westminster-style government as a benign dictatorship is an oversimplification, White examines first ministers and cabinets in terms of accountability and transparency and proposes realistic improvements to this vital aspect of Canadian democracy."  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2011.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries. 0aCabinet systemzCanada. 0aPrime ministerszCanada. 0aCabinet officerszCanada. 0aPower (Social sciences)zCanada. 7aElectronic books.2local2 aebrary, Inc. 0aCanadian democratic audit ;v7.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10141296zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view
