Le Conseil législatif de Québec, 1867-1967

The author claims that Quebec maintained its bicameral legislature, long after it was abandoned in other provinces, because of the province's unique socio-cultural make-up. He argues that the Legislative Council contained an over-representation of Quebec's privileged social classes, into which he lumps the English-speaking minority, regardless of partisan attachment. The Legislative Council was abolished in Quebec in 1969.
