DEBATE #4: POWER CORRUPTS CANADIAN PRIME MINISTERS
May 10, 2012 at 6:30pm, Tabaret Hall, University of Ottawa, 75 Laurier Avenue East, Ottawa, Ontario, K1N 1A2

Click here to register for this debate!

Our system gives enormous power to the Prime Minister, the power to appoint or not, decide or delay, deliver or fail to deliver. Is this too much power for any one person? Is it dangerous to Canadian liberties? Is it necessary for efficiency?

Moderator: J.L. Granatstein
Speakers: Sheila Copps vs Andrew Coyne
