Book Description
In 1971, the JMCIR presented a brief to the Special Joint Committee of the Senate and the House of Commons on the Constitution. [...] The Trudeau government tried - unsuccessfully - to marry the municipalities' concept of "tripartitism" (although not enshrining it in the Constitution) with the "pragmatism" of the historical links between the federal and municipal governments. [...] As a result, by threatening not to cooperate with the federal government in programs of interest to the municipalities, the provinces gained even greater power at the expense of the other two levels of government. [...] The FCM's president chose to amplify this by offering examples of recognition, such as the federal government's decision to accord official observer status to representatives of the FCM at the First Ministers' meetings and the inclusion of municipal representatives in the delegations from Nova Scotia and Ontario.

Book Description
The Canadian system of federalism divides the power to govern between the central federal parliament and the provincial and territorial legislative assemblies. In what can be seen as a double federation, power is also divided culturally, between English and French Canada. The divisions of power and responsibility, however, have not remained static since 1867. The federal language regime (1969), for example, reconfigured cultural federalism, generating constitutional tension as governments sought to make institutions more representative of the country's diversity. In Federalism and the Constitution of Canada, award-winning author David E. Smith examines a series of royal commission and task force inquiries, a succession of federal-provincial conferences, and the competing and controversial terms of the Constitution Act of 1982 in order to evaluate both the popular and governmental understanding of federalism. In the process, Smith uncovers the reasons constitutional agreement has historically proved difficult to reach and argues that Canadian federalism 'in practice' has been more successful at accommodating foundational change than may be immediately apparent.
