A Portrait of Canada’s Parliament is his third coffee-table book about Canada’s capital region. His two previous books, Ottawa Canada and Ottawa II Canada have both become bestsellers.

McElligott, historical images, and thematic articles written by established subject specialists, A Portrait of Canada’s Parliament/Un Portrait du Parlement du Canada provides a contemporary look into one of the nation’s greatest symbols.
