Bringing New Brunswick's Legislative Assembly into the 21st century

Summary: This paper portrays legislative democracy in New Brunswick as it has evolved from its 18th-century origins into the early years of the 21st century. While there is now a substantial body of literature studying New Brunswick's political parties, elections and political culture, and a growing body of literature examining public policy in New Brunswick, little attention has been paid to the history and structures of its government and in particular its legislative assembly. The authors hope to redress this imbalance.
