Abstract
This study examines women’s political representation in Canada. The proportion of women in the House of Commons(22%) remains below critical mass. The number of women elected in the 2000 and 2004 federal election raises slightly after 1990s. It seems that women have hit a glass ceiling in Canadian politics at least in the House of commons and that to break through it, special measures will have to bo taken. Nonetheless, Canada ranked higher level in the world for representation of women in its national parliament compared to other countries with SMD electoral system. As well known, it is very difficult for women to be elected under the single member district system. It is also very difficult to change electoral system itself to solve women’s political representation. Thus, without change in electoral system, women’s groups in Canada have made efforts in decades by the feminist movement to mobilize more women to enter decision-making bodies. In addition, they involved in the party and began to mobilize to challenge the party’s leadership on issues of importance to women. This mobilization led to calls for changes in party rules and policy. including more women as candidates, support for the movement’s policy agenda, and representational guarantees for women within the party. In fact, these activities essentially have a twofold purpose based on different but related conceptions of political representation: to increase the number of women in politics, and to ensure better representation of women’s demands, needs, and interests.
