Autorenporträt

The first Canadian attempt to codify parliamentary method and practice was written by Sir John George Bourinot, a journalist, historian, and civil servant who lived in Canada from October 24, 1836 to October 13, 1902. He is regarded as an authority on parliamentary procedure and constitutional law. He was John Bourinot's oldest child, and he was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Before entering Trinity College, Toronto, in 1854, he received his education in Sydney. He left the institution two years later despite being a brilliant student and went to work as a legislative reporter for a Toronto daily. He established his own newspaper, the Evening Reporter, along with Joseph C. Crosskill while he was in Halifax in 1860. After leaving this journal in May 1867, Bourinot spent some time working as a freelancer before finding work as a clerk at the Senate of Canada in May 1869. Bourinot supported a national university and library for Canada as well as the Imperial Federation. Additionally, he supported women's access to higher education. Bourinot was given honorary degrees from numerous Canadian universities later in life and was made a CMG in 1890 and a KCMG in 1898.
