 section7
Canadians have always used the expression "responsible government" to mean the form of government we have today, in which the governor no longer has independent power to run the administration but has ministers who run it for him and who are chosen from the majority in the legislative assembly, to which they are answerable.

McNairn concludes that the reporting of legislative debates was essential for the emergence of a democratic public opinion, and he suggests that this should lead us to think in a new way about responsible government.
