In this book, which is both personal and historical, Roger Tassé relates the journey that brought him from a modest neighbourhood in Montreal to the top echelons of legal power in Ottawa. He begins by describing his youth in Montreal in the 1930s and 1940s, followed by his college and law school years as well as the status of the French language when he arrived in Ottawa.He then takes readers backstage and leads them through the halls of power by explaining his experience in the various positions he occupied within the federal administration.
Proponent of many legislative reforms, key player during the patriation of the Canadian Constitution, the adoption of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and during the negotiations surrounding the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords, Roger Tassé offers in these memoirs a unique perspective on a period of significant change in Canada.
