Making Parliament a significant player in Canadian civi l-military relations would require significant structural changes to the l egislature\, which is unlikely to occur. Yet there are incremental changes in three areas —military deployments\, committee powers\, and defence pro curement tracking— that could improve Parliament’s lackluster performance in holding governments to account for military affairs. Drawing on a wider study of legislative oversight of defence in fifteen countries\, this tal k will examine how to realistically improve parliamentary scrutiny of defe nce in Canada without undertaking major institutional reforms.\n\n>>CLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n\n \n About the Speaker\n\nPhilippe Lagassé is Associate Professor and Barton Chair at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs\, Carleton University.
