This government is keeping its promise of growth and prosperity for Ontario. On February 14, 1967, the first Ontario Treasurer to come from Exeter, the Honourable Charles MacNaughton, described the challenge facing all Provincial Treasurers. In preparing a budget, he said, “We tread the slender tightrope between the reasonable expectations of our people for government services— and a constant awareness of the burdens on the taxpayer.” Thirty-five years later, Mr.

  • Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario
    Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario by April Lucille Girard-Brown A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada January, 2012 Copyright ©April Lucille Girard-Brown, 2012 Abstract The construction of domestic violence shifted and changed as this issue was forced from the private shadows to the public stage. This dissertation explores how government policy initiatives - Bill 117: An Act to Better Protect Victims of Domestic Violence and the Domestic Violence Action Plan (DVAP) - shaped our understanding of domestic violence as a social problem in the first decade of the twenty-first century in Ontario. Specifically, it asks whose voices were heard, whose were silenced, how domestic violence was conceptualized by various stakeholders. In order to do this I analyzed the texts of Bill 117, its debates, the DVAP, as well as fourteen in-depth interviews with anti- violence advocates in Ontario to shed light on their construction of the domestic violence problem. Then I examined who (both state and non-state actors) regarded the work as „successful‟, flawed or wholly ineffective. In particular, I focused on the claims and counter-claims advanced by MPPs, other government officials, feminist or other women‟s group advocates and men‟s or fathers‟ rights group supporters and organizations. The key themes derived from the textual analysis of documents and the interviews encapsulate the key issues which formed the dominant construction of domestic violence in Ontario between 2000 and 2009: the never-ending struggles over funding, debates surrounding issues of rights and responsibilities, solutions proposed to address domestic violence, and finally the continued appearance of deserving and undeserving victims in public policy.

  • Examining the Use of Ontario Parliamentary Convention to Guide the Conduct of Elected Officials in Ontario
    Understanding the Unwritten Rules: Examining the use of Ontario Parliamentary Convention to Guide the Conduct of Elected Officials in Ontario by Ian Stedman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Laws Faulty of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by Ian Stedman 2015 Understanding the Unwritten Rules: Examining the use of Ontario Parliamentary Convention to Guide the Conduct of Elected Officials in Ontario Ian Stedman Master of Laws Faculty of Law University of Toronto 2015 Abstract Government ethics legislation in Canada guides and restricts the conduct of parliamentarians. Ontario established an independent officer of the legislature in 1988 who is responsible for administering its government ethics legislation. In 1994, an undefined behaviour-guiding standard called “Ontario parliamentary convention” was added to the legislation. This paper explores the history of Ontario’s government ethics regime and examines its response to specific scandals, in order to describe the emergence of Ontario parliamentary convention as a ii standard of conduct. It then provides a full discussion and complementary summary of the specific parliamentary conventions that Ontario’s legislative ethics officers have determined must guide the conduct of Ontario’s parliamentarians. This discussion and summary illuminate the problematic and inconsistent use of this standard by Ontario’s legislative ethics officers. Two sets of recommendations are then offered to help modernize and strengthen the legislation for the benefit of Ontario’s parliamentarians. iii Acknowledgments I am deeply indebted to my wife and children for their support and patience throughout the completion of this thesis. Aimy, Lia and Ivy have spent a great deal of time this past year without their husband and father and this accomplishment is as much theirs as it is mine.
