Canadian Federalism is Canada’s leading text on federal institutions and processes. The fourth edition provides extensive updates and covers all the significant developments of the past decade, including Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s battles with the Supreme Court and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s efforts at a more co-operative approach to intergovernmental relations. It also features two entirely new chapters – one on criminal justice and criminal law, the other on comparative federalism. Specific topics include the Supreme Court’s renewed emphasis on co-operative federalism and a federal–provincial balance tilted more in favour of the provinces, the Trudeau government’s efforts to broker a deal between provinces over pipelines and carbon taxes as part of its commitment under the Paris Agreement, the strains imposed on federal–provincial relations with the influx of refugees, and the changing role of Ottawa and the provinces towards cities and in accommodating Indigenous rights. Examination of these key issues includes discussion of the implications of the 2019 federal election and recent provincial elections.

Herman Bakvis is a professor emeritus in the School of Public Administration at the University of Victoria.

Grace Skogstad is a professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto.

Conclusion: Taking Stock of Canadian Federalism
Grace Skogstad and Herman Bakvis

“The fourth edition of Canadian Federalism is an excellent survey of the history, structures, and processes of Canadian federalism. Collectively, the chapters cover all of the major policy fields that federalism has shaped, and perform the valuable task of bringing together disparate aspects of the federal system under one framework. Canadian Federalism is well-written, well-organized, and hugely valuable for teaching purposes.” Dave Snow, University of Guelph

“This fourth edition is a welcome and timely update to this ongoing examination of the way federalism works in Canada. Students across the country will benefit from the insights contained within these pages.” Jennifer Wallner, University of Ottawa

"Bakvis and Skogstad’s book has been an anchor in the literature for years. This fourth edition is a significant revision and an indispensable read for everyone interested in Canadian federalism." Andrew Heard, Simon Fraser University
