Abstract

This lecture examines the issue of federal-provincial relations in the particular case of the Canada-Quebec relationship. The lecture is divided into three parts. The first one presents evidence on the relative strength of the provincial and federal governments in Canada in an attempt to assess if Canada is the most decentralized federation among OECD countries and Quebec the strongest subnational state. The second examines the evidence showing that it is not enough and attempts to explain why. The third proposes possible changes to the Canadian federation that would allow the most to be enough.
