Jean-Luc Pepin Research Chair

The Jean-Luc Pepin Research Chair, established in memory of the respected politician and political scientist who taught at the University of Ottawa, is dedicated to the study of Canadian political institutions and their transformation in light of the changing conditions and practices of contemporary democratic governance. Three main themes currently guide the work and activities of the chair: the evolution of the relationship between politics and public administration and the political status of the Public Service; the evolving role and legislative career of Members of Parliament; and the emergence of a new institutional architecture to regulate political and governmental ethics in Canada.

Réforme électorale: où en sommes-nous? Quelle est la suite?

Le parti libéral du Canada a promis en 2015 que l'Élection fédérale en 2015 serait la dernière élection employant un scrutin uninominal majoritaire à un tour. Quelques mois après le rapport multipartite qui recommendait au gouvernement d'organiser un référendum et de concevoir un un système électoral proportionnel, le projet fut abandonné.

Electoral Reform: Where are we at and what's next

The Liberal Party of Canada promised that the 2015 Federal Election would be the last to use the First-Past-the-Post Voting system. Months after an all-party committee suggested a referendum and recommended the Liberal design a proportional representation voting system. The project was abandoned by the government.
