This program, the last in the series, is a review of the various problems on the Hill and an indication of trends towards reform. Former Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson comments on his plans to write about parliamentary reform and why he did not push harder for reform while he was in office. Next, Robert Andras and Herb Gray talk about the problems of the massive size and spread of the government of Canada, with Parliament as its focus. Gordon Churchill, Ged Baldwin and Bud Olson talk about the difficulties in getting material through the House of Commons as a result of overzealous opposition and inefficient bureaucracy. Jean-Luc Pépin and Jean Chrétien speak about Francophone Members of Parliament in a predominantly English Parliament. James Walker, Eugene Whelan, Ed Nasserden, Stanley Knowles and Colin Cameron speak about the dilemma faced by backbencher who wants to get public attention while remaining loyal to the party. Grace MacInnis and Gordon Fairweather talk about the question of whether to televise parliamentary procedures. Herb Gray and Colin Cameron speak about parliamentary reform and the trend toward a U.S. Congressional system.~Jack Pickersgill and Bill Dawson speak about the importance of parliamentary committees and the need for reform of the committee system. Eugene Whelan speaks about the problem of bringing forth legislation without consulting backbenchers. Stanley Knowles, Bud Sherman and Harold Stafford comment on the lack of services and facilities for backbenchers. Erik Spicer speaks about the inadequacy of Canadian library and research facilities. Gordon Churchill speaks about the importance of minor parties. Lucien Lamoureux speaks about the shift in emphasis from ministerial and governmental responsibility to parliamentary responsibility through committees and other means. He also talks about the idea of having a permanent Speaker of the House. Also discussed are the difficulty Members of Parliament face in needing to be on top of things in their constituencies as well as well versed on national issues, and the opinion that parliamentary reform should be the responsibility of all Members of Parliament and not just on the shoulders of the party in power and the prime minister. The final comment is by Allan MacEachen on the importance of the House of Commons. <28mn 30s>
