  • The Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy Public Policy Paper Series
    The Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy Public Policy Paper Series The Death of Deference: National Policy-Making in the Aftermath of the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords by Ian Peach September,2004 Public Policy Paper 26 $5.00; ISBN# 0-7731-0493-3 SIPP www.uregina.ca/sipp The Death of Deference: National Policy-Making in the Aftermath of the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords SIPP Public Policy Paper No. 26 September 2004 Ian Peach* Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy Senior Fellow ISBN# 0-7731-0493-3 ISSN# 1702-7802 * This paper is based on presentations given at conferences in Regina and Edinburgh. The author would like to thank all of the staff and Fellows at the Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy and Tom McIntosh for their helpful comments on earlier drafts of the presentations and the paper, and Ross Macnab of the Constitutional Law Branch of the Saskatchewan Department of Justice for kindly tracking down difficult-to-find case citations. Any errors or omissions that remain are strictly those of the author. It has been suggested that there has been a decline in Canadians’ traditional deference to elites in recent decades, and that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Charter) is either a reflection of the decline in deference or a cause of it.1 Deference, however, seems not merely in decline; it is not “pining for the fjords”, as Monty Python would put it, but is “pushing up the daisies”. It is dead; it was a lingering death, one which lasted between June 1987 and June 1990, and the deathbed was the Meech Lake Accord.

  • Part A. Canadian Experience in Constitutional
    Public Policy and Aboriginal Peoples 1965-1992 € Aboriginal Peoples and Constitutional Reform By Peter Russell and Roger .Iones i\'lareh. jl)C)) RCAPNOTES INTRODUCTION The Terms of Reference of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples clearly contemplates the intervention of the Commission on matters of constitutional reform concerning aboriginal matters. In this regard we were invited to prepare a research paper on the desirability and nature of future aboriginal constitutional reform efforts. In accepting the invitation and embarking on the project, we understood that the primary focus of our work would be on matters of process rather than on the content of constitutional amendments. We did our best to conduct a broad interview process including participants of the Charlottetown Accord process, the leaders of national aboriginal organizations, leaders of various provincial and/or regional aboriginal organizations, representatives from aboriginal communities, aboriginal advisors, federal and provincial government ministers and senior public servants. We believe that the interview process and the project overall was aided by the fact that we assured all interviewees that anonymity would be maintained. Some of the interviewees were quick to advise that their responses and views expressed during the interviews did not necessarily reflect the views of the governments or organizations with which they were associated. Rather, there was a common understanding that it was the personal experience of the participants that informed their responses and views. We would like to express our gratitude to the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples for the opportunity to work on a project of this nature. We would also like to express our gratitude to the participants that kindly gave of their time to participate in the interview process despite the reality of constitutional fatigue and the significant period of time that had elapsed since the last round of constitutional meetings.

Department of ftli'iiaI Science The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date cd II DE-6 (2788) Abstract MISRECOGNIZED MATERIALISTS: SOCIAL MOVEMENTS IN CANADIAN CONSTITUTIONAL POLITICS, 1938-1992 Although Ronald Inglehart's New Politics theory has attracted criticism, its influential distinction between materialist and postmaterialist values tends to go unquestioned. The influence of this distinction is particularly apparent when analysts interpret the "new" social movement emphasis on esteem and belonging as a "postmaterialist" departure from a traditional, or "materialist" focus on security. This way of understanding contemporary feminist and ethnocultural-minority movements is misleading because it rests on a one- dimensional view of esteem and belonging.
