Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Municipalities in Canada have often been considered as creatures of the provinces. However, in Quebec, the provincial government has recently recognized them as “proximity governments”. This new policy brings an original response to the issue of municipal fragmentation. On the one hand, the new policy confirms the predominance of the local level as well as the abandonment of a regional model based on a partnership between civil society and local elected officials.
