Stop Prime Ministers From Ruling Like Kings, Expert Says


Canada's Constitution should be opened to rein in the power of prime ministers who rule like monarchs surrounded by a tight circle of courtiers, a leading scholar on public administration says. Donald Savoie, a political economist at the University of Moncton, said Canada's political institutions are so broken ... "There are no effective checks and balances from cabinet, the civil service or Parliament to protect prime ministers from grabbing power and abusing it," he said. "We now need to go farther and define in law the role of prime minister, ministers and the civil service."
