About this book
The book demonstrates how erratic the Commons’ record has been, ranging from the good to the very bad, and while recent developments in the House appearing promising, they do not yet offer convincing evidence of a permanent change towards effective scrutiny by it of expenditure by the executive.

Reviews
“This is a very good book. With practically no secondary sources to guide him the author has studied the voluminous and wearisome reports and debates with discernment and balance. He has enlivened an inherently dull subject with wit and insight. In explaining Parliament’s performance in this special area, he has captured the spirit and tone of Canada’s Parliament as no other book has done.” H. G. Thorburn in the Political Science Quarterly
