  • 41St Parliament, Second Session the Standing Committee On
    41st Parliament, Second Session The Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs has the honour to present its THIRD REPORT Your Committee, which has received an Order of Reference from the House of Commons on October 21, 2013, is pleased to report as follows: Order of Reference On October 21, 2013, the House of Commons instructed the Committee to conduct an open and public study with the view to replace the Board of Internal Economy with an independent oversight body; the self-stated purpose of that Order of Reference is “to bring full transparency and accountability to House of Commons spending.” The Order of Reference instructs the Committee to invite the Auditor General of Canada, the Clerk and the Chief Financial Officer of the House of Commons to participate fully in the study. It also mandates the Committee to study the administrative oversight practices of other Westminster-style jurisdictions, including that of the Canadian provinces and territories. The Order of Reference also enjoins the Committee to examine the subject-matter of four motions for which the Member for Papineau gave notice in the previous Session on June 10, 2013. The Order of Reference makes special provisions for the participation of Independent Members in the study. Your Committee is instructed to propose appropriate changes to any Act of Parliament, as well as any administrative policies and practices of the House of Commons. Finally, your Committee must report its findings no later than December 2, 2013. The Order of Reference reproduces an Order of Reference adopted by the House on June 18, 2013 that died on the Order Paper with the September 13, 2013 prorogation.

La politique réformatrice de Mikhaïl Gorbatchev, arrivé à la tête de l’URSS en 1985, provoque un changement de politique de ce gouvernement, réclamé à plusieurs reprises par les parlementaires de l’Opposition. Lors du premier semestre de 1990, les parlementaires canadiens conduisent une vaste étude sur l’avenir des relations entre le Canada et l’Europe, Union soviétique incluse. Si la philosophie générale des conclusions de cette étude diffère de celle de la politique choisie par le gouvernement Mulroney, ce dernier reprend une partie des recommandations des parlementaires. La fin de l’année 1990 marque le début du dépassement de la guerre froide et d’une coopération Est-Ouest renouvelée que les parlementaires canadiens approuvent.

It was a day of mourn ing, but also a day to mark the University community's commitment to continue the work begun by Matthew Douglass, Michael Hogben and A. Jaan Saber.
