The ways in which the Canadian party system, including its caucus system operates, is considerably less democratic, on close inspection, than Canadians think it is, or think it ought to be. Bill C-586 is divided into two parts, each of which amends a different statute, the Canada Elections Act and the Parliament of Canada Act.
Le projet de loi C-586 comporte deux parties, qui modifient chacune une loi: la Loi électorale du Canada et la Loi sur le Parlement du Canada.
