In recent years the study of the Canadian Parliament has lost some of its original momentum. Major gaps in research have begun to appear, and critics have argued that students of Parliament take a much too docile, uncritical view of parliamentary government as it is practiced in Canada. This article reviews recent research on the Canadian Parliament in light of these criticisms and compares it to more established work on the subject. The prospects are not as bleak as the critics maintain, but the authors express concern that Parliament may no longer pose the kind of intellectual challenge that attracted researchers in previous generations
