Canada's North and Tomorrow's Federalism

"In any discussion about emerging trends and issues in the territorial North a few preliminary points need to be stressed: First, each of the three northern territories presents a distinct set of issues and challenges, and the differences among each of the three territories must not be underestimated. Second, the trends and issues which are summarized below must be considered in the context of, and with careful attention to, important details in the relevant agreements and legislation. Third, the territorial North is in a state of flux. Institutions, processes and relationship are still evolving. Fourth, for the most part the changes in the North are on paper and have yet to be fully implemented."
