'''Scott Jeffrey Reid''' (born [[January 25]], [[1964]] in [[Hull, Quebec|Hull]], [[Quebec]]) is a [[politician]] in [[Ontario]], [[Canada]]. He is currently a member of the [[Canadian House of Commons]], representing the [[riding]] of [[Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington]] as a [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservative]]. He should not be confused with [[Scott Reid (political advisor)|Scott Reid]], press secretary to Canadian [[Prime Minister of Canada|Prime Minister]] [[Paul Martin]].

Reid was educated at [[Carleton University]], and has a [[Bachelor of Arts]] degree in [[Political Science]] and a [[Master of Arts]] degree in [[History]]. He is a respected authority on federalism and the Canadian constitution, and has written two books on the subject: ''Canada Remapped: How the Partition of Quebec Will Reshape the Nation'' ([[1992]]) and ''Lament for a Notion: The Life and Death of Canada's Bilingual Dream'' ([[1993]]). The title of the latter work is a parody of [[George Grant]]'s 1965 book, ''Lament for a Nation''.

'''Note:''' [[Peer review]] is the process of review by peers and usually implies a group of authoritative reviewers who are equally familiar and expert in the subject. The process represented by this page is not formal peer review in that sense and articles that undergo this process cannot be assumed to have greater authority than any other.

''Lament for a Notion'' contains numerous criticisms of [[bilingualism in Canada|official bilingualism]] in Canada. Although Reid supports the principle of bilingual services, he has also argued that Canada's system of official bilingualism has been an expensive failure. He maintains that Canada’s official bilingualism is based upon a utopian model, developed by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, which abandons what Reid suggests is the more practical model proposed by the 1963-1970 Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism (B&B Commission).

Reid has also worked as a journalist and lecturer. He was stationed in [[Port Townsend, Washington|Port Townsend]], [[Washington (state)|Washington]] in [[1990]]-[[1991]], covered events in [[Ottawa, Ontario|Ottawa]] for Alberta Report from [[1992]] to [[1994]], and wrote opinion pieces for the National Post in [[1999]]-[[2000]]. During the [[1997]]-[[1998|98]] academic year, he worked as an instructor at the [[University of Western Sydney]] in [[Australia]]. Reid is also on the board of directors for [[Giant Tiger]] Stores Ltd.

He was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the [[Canadian federal election, 2000|federal election of 2000]], narrowly defeating [[Liberal Party of Canada|Liberal]] incumbent [[Ian Murray]] in the riding of [[Lanark—Carleton]]. Reid was a member of the [[Canadian Alliance]], and was one of only two CA candidates elected in Ontario. Following the election, he was appointed the party’s critic for Intergovernmental Affairs (including official languages) and served in 2001-2002 as the vice-chair of the Standing Joint Committee of the House of Commons and Senate on Official Languages.

[[Category:Editorial validation]]

In the early period of the [[Canadian federal election, 2004|2004 election campaign]], Reid sparked a national controversy by claiming that official bilingualism should be reviewed by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages. This was interpreted by Prime Minister Paul Martin, in a press conference later that day, to mean that bilingual services would be reduced under a Conservative government. He was forced to resign the next day as his party's critic for official languages.

[[de:Wikipedia:Review]]

The controversy may have damaged the Conservative Party's prospects of victory at the national level, but it did not hurt Reid's own chances for re-election. He defeated Liberal incumbent [[Larry McCormick]] by over 10,000 votes in the redistributed riding of Lanark--Frontenac--Lennox and Addington.

[[simple:Wikipedia:Peer review]]

The Liberal Party won a [[minority government]] in the [[2004]] election, and Reid now sits in the opposition benches. Following the 2004 election, he was appointed his party’s critic for Democratic Reform and for Fednor (Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario).
