The evolving role of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities

Abstract: Following its near demise in 1982, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) adopted new goals and processes designed to increase satisfaction and deliver concrete results to its member municipalities. Over time, the FCM assumed the role of primary interlocutor or broker, establishing a bridge between federal intentions and local government needs and playing a central role in the aggregation, definition, articulation and advocacy of local government issues at the federal level.

“…Structured relationships between the federal and municipal governments have been attempted in the past but were short-lived (Spicer 2010; 2011). Municipalities lobby and engage the federal government, mostly through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), but as the FCM represents all municipalities at the national level, we conclude that there is no difference between how well different cities are represented at the federal level (Chenier 2009; Stevenson and Gilbert 2005). Measuring the relationship between local governments and the central government is, thus, unlikely to uncover much difference; the index, thus, solely addresses the municipal–provincial relationship.…”

“…Tel qu'il a été noté précédemment, Ottawa ne possède pas d'institution centrale qui lui permet de se lier au secteur municipal dans son ensemble, malgré les efforts de longue date de la Fédération canadienne des municipalités et son quasisuccès dans sa tentative de construire des institutions consultatives avec le gouvernement Martin (Chenier, 2009). Les ministères pris isolément sont en mesure de discuter de politiques et de programmes, mais ils n'hésitent pas à prendre des initiatives politiques sans consulter les municipalités concernées.…”
