Description

From their nomination as candidates, through to their day today lives as elected Members, the political party has a controlling hand in the public life of an MP. A backbench MPs only legislative function is often regarded as fulfilling House duty obligations, and voting as instructed by their party Whip. Canadians consistently express the opinion that if Parliament is to be a truly effective and responsive institution, the opportunity must exist for all Members of Parliament, not just Members of Cabinet, to introduce and seek passage of legislation which is in the best interests of their constituents. This paper examines the barriers faced by Private Members. The necessity of these barriers to the overall smooth functioning of the House of Commons is assessed against the need for backbenchers to represent their constituents as national legislators. Finally, suggestions for reform are offered as a means to ensure that Private Members can properly perform their legislative function within the context of a parliamentary system which has traditionally shunned this practice. **********
