520    "This exhaustively researched and deftly written book 
       offers a first-hand view of the inner workings of the 
       Canadian federal government, with a particular focus on 
       the interplay between the Prime Minister's Office, the 
       Privy Council Office, the federal cabinet, and the role 
       backbench MPs, and parliamentary committees. Brodie argues
       that the various workings of the PMO, PCO, the cabinet, 
       parliamentary committees, and the role of backbench MPs 
       puts a lie to the proposition that the prime minister has 
       evolved into the role of a dictator of sorts with 
       unchecked control over the levers of political power. He 
       offers a much-needed corrective to the dominant thinking 
       that a Canadian prime minister holds power without limits,
       approaching unchecked domination over party, caucus, 
       cabinet, Parliament, the public service, and the policy 
       agenda. In Brodie's view, the prime minister is not a 
       tyrant. There are effective checks on executive power. The
       golden age of Parliament and the backbencher is probably 
       now. The author's contribution is that of a former insider,
       someone who worked at the centre and witnessed the 
       circumstances, many of them institutional in character, 
       that constrain the prime minister. The book calls for 
       sober second thought about many of the proposals for 
       reform."--|cProvided by publisher.
