Don Boudria (Minister of State and Leader of the Government in the House of Commons, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. ROUTINE PROCEEDINGS The House has just been presented with the report of the Standing Committee on Transport. This committee reported the estimates this Ï (1005) morning, which were referred by the House of Commons. So, the committee's decision is the result of an order from the House, [English] meaning that the House mandated the committee to make such a decision.

TRANSPORT Ï (1010) Mr. Joe Comuzzi (Thunder Bay—Superior North, Lib.): Mr. [English] Speaker, the Standing Committee on Transport has considered the estimates for 2003-04 and has the honour to present its third report. This was not, in my opinion, observed this morning. [Translation] Pursuant to the orders of the House dated Wednesday, February 26 for the consideration of estimates 2003-04 on votes 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, Referring to Marleau and Montpetit page 835 respecting 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60, your committee has considered committees: vote 25 under transport, VIA Rail Canada Inc., for the fiscal year Meetings of committees usually take place in specially equipped rooms in the Parliament Buildings, but committees may hold meetings elsewhere in Canada.

There is discussion of the equipment in the room, the staff assigned to committee members, where everyone sits and it is then A copy of the relevant minutes of the proceedings of Meeting No. stated that: 30 is hereby tabled. Committee meetings are ordinarily open to the public— 6644 COMMONS DEBATES May 29, 2003 Points of Order So, the decisions reached on matters referred by this House, I am really disappointed in the actions that our House leader has particularly formal decisions, are made in rooms “open to the public taken this morning with reference to a legal technicality. I think we and the media”. The reference continues as follows: have obliged every rule of jurisprudence in the House. I want to Simultaneous interpretation services are offered to committee members, witnesses compliment the members of the transport committee for having the and members of the public at all committee meetings. diligence and perseverance to go through the work that we have had to go through for the last several weeks in order to get these The public has a right to be present, and simultaneous estimates through. interpretation is available. As I have already said, recording must also be possible. I take what the House leader has said as an affront to the work of the committee, and I stand by the recommendations that I presented. I would invite the Chair to look into this. Before the report is accepted, I would ask you to defer your ruling until later today, if Ï (1015) you would so desire. Firstly, this ruling will determine whether these Mr. Gary Lunn (Saanich—Gulf Islands, Canadian Alliance): rules, and the respect of Canada's official languages, were observed Mr. Speaker, it is important to put on the record, as this could be when the decisions were reached at this morning's meeting, as well setting a terrible precedent, that committees are masters of their own as the public aspect. There were no witnesses to be heard, and I proceedings. I also want to point out that the Standing Committee on know that certain employees of Parliament were denied access to the Procedure and House Affairs often allows its striking committee to room. The ruling will also address the matter of recording and, meet without a quorum and without interpretation but their reports thirdly, the strict observation of our rules relating to official are always accepted. languages as far as simultaneous interpretation is concerned. I think it is very important to put that on the record when you, Mr. I am certain that the Chair will have no option but to reach the Speaker, are considering this matter, and to say that it is no different conclusion that these rules were not duly observed and that this in this case. report, as presented to us this morning, is not indeed such and is therefore found to be out of order by the Chair. [Translation] Mr. Mario Laframboise (Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, [English] BQ): Mr. Speaker, I attended the meeting of the Standing Committee Mr. Paul Forseth (New Westminster—Coquitlam—Burnaby, on Transport, this morning. The committee's chair told this House Canadian Alliance): Mr. Speaker, I would hope the government that, yes, there was no quorum yesterday evening. Obviously, the side is not citing a technical rule for a perverse purpose, because its opposition members were in attendance, but some members from the real argument is the issue of the substance of what the committee government side were missing. The committee adjourned this reported and it is only using a technical argument. morning. Mr. Joe Comuzzi (Thunder Bay—Superior North, Lib.): Mr. I must advise the Chair that I had made sure to obtain the services Speaker, I listened with interest to what the House leader had to say. of an interpreter; so, I had an interpreter with me. I presumed, He referred to some references in the parliamentary procedure. I however, that the committee had met all the requirements, including would like to report as an aside that perhaps if we had proceeded and for transcription services, among others. This is important, had some control over the process that has been happening in the obviously, since we had to produce a report. House of Commons over the last little while we could have avoided the problem we found ourselves in last evening. I hope there was transcription; I am picturing the room and trying to see how it would have been possible to transcribe everything that We started our meeting yesterday afternoon at 3:30. There was was said. If the committee's deliberations were not transcribed, then I much debate over the estimates. We concluded the meeting last night agree with the government House leader: if the committee did not after a continuous hearing from 3:30 in the afternoon to 9:30 last follow the procedure, then, your good judgment is required, Mr. evening. We did not adjourn the meeting last night. We suspended Speaker; you must render a decision today. the meeting at that point in time in as much as we did not have a quorum present at 9:30. We attempted and the clerk attempted to get Mr. Yvon Godin (Acadie—Bathurst, NDP): Mr. Speaker, the a quorum. government House leader's concern is understandable. I sit on the Standing Committee on Official Languages and I want both When the meeting was suspended last evening and because there languages to be respected; that has always been my position, as a was no other place in the House to conduct that meeting we decided member of Parliament and as a member of that committee. to use a room in the parliamentary dining room. At 8 o'clock this morning the suspended meeting of last evening was commenced It would be to the Liberal government's credit to respect Canada's again. We did have interpretation and recording. An interpreter from official languages, as this House has been asked to do this morning. the interpreter's department was present at the table to offer interpretation. If I talk about the technical aspect of the situation, I may end up saying the opposite of what I usually say about official languages. Therefore we did in fact provide the proper interpretation services. Sometimes the issue of official languages is used simply because the We had the recording, the clerk was present and we had a quorum. Liberals do not like a bill, and I think that is wrong.

  • Should Canada Consider Proportional Representation?" March 15, 2002
    Fourth Annual Mel Smith Lecture Trinity Western University "Should Canada Consider Proportional Representation?" March 15, 2002 Nick Loenen Contents Lack of an Alternative Government 6 Objections Considered 11 Excessive Concentration of Political Power 17 Political Disengagement 21 Mel Smith’s Contribution 26 End Notes 31 1 The invitation to give the fourth annual Mel Smith Lecture is a singular honour of which I am deeply appreciative. Mel Smith was imaginative and gifted. When Mel Smith spoke he spoke with authority, because he was an authority. He was devoted to a strong West within a strong Canada. To him, it is fair regional representation at the centre that makes Canada strong, it is also what he considered to be most lacking. He promoted reform through constitutional means. I seek reform through parliamentary and particularly electoral means. Our journeys are complimentary, two means to the same end, our paths crossed, and I gained a colleague and friend. His friendship enriched my life to this day. Mel Smith, as befits his legal profession, was careful to stipulate the purpose of this annual lecture. It is to focus, in his words, “on a national issue from a decidedly Western perspective.” This then is my assignment. I have selected three current, national trends that bode ill for our body politic if left unattended. This paper suggests that a switch to proportional representation can reverse those trends. The trends are: y Lack of an alternative government. y Excessive concentration of power in the PMO. y Growing political disengagement. In closing, the paper suggests that proportional representation might also attain some of the goals Mel Smith advanced throughout his professional life; in particular it shows how changing our voting system relates to Mel's many proposals to effect a more meaningful role for the West within confederation.

Of the 58 per cent that did, 40.49 per cent voted for the PCs and Doug Ford. This is said to be a decisive majority which gives him a mandate to implement the measures he campaigned on. However, the vote that allows the PCs to form the government with 76 out of 124 seats came from only 23.48 per cent of eligible voters. To say this is a majority government tells us something about the state of the electoral system said to be a representative democracy. The NDP becomes the official opposition with 40 seats and 33.57 per cent of the votes cast, representing 19.47 per cent of eligible voters. The Liberals received seven seats and 19.59 per cent of the votes cast, which represents 11.35 percent of eligible voters.

AUTHOR: Andrew Galley, H.B.Sc (University of Toronto), M.A. (University of Toronto). SUPERVISOR: Dr. Ellen Badone NUMBER OF PAGES: vii + xx (xx total) ii Abstract This thesis presents a multi-level and mixed-method analysis of the health-care experiences of predominantly Colombian migrants living in Ottawa, Canada. It incorporates survey, interview, archival and participant-observation data to answer a series of linked questions regarding health and migration under contemporary Canadian liberal governance. Specifically, the thesis elucidates connections between bodily experiences of illness and healing, linguistic and cultural fractures within communities, and the legal positioning of refugee migrants in Canadian law. In doing so it follows the "three bodies" model of medical anthropology proposed by Lock and Scheper-Hughes. The first three chapters of the thesis provide multiple layers of context for the fourth chapter, which contains the bulk of the primary ethnographic evidence. The first chapter analyzes the positioning of the refugee subject in Canadian legislative and policy discourse, highlighting the phenomenon of the immigrant as subaltern nationalist "hero" who is denied a full voice in public affairs but whose passive qualities are considered essential for the cultural reproduction of the nation.

  • Faith-Based Schooling and the Politics of Education: a Case Study of Ontario, Canada
    Duncan MacLellan1 Прегледни рад Associate Professor UDK: 32:27-472 (71) Department of Politics and Public Administration Ryerson University Toronto, Canada FAITH-BASED SCHOOLING AND THE POLITICS OF EDUCATION: A CASE STUDY OF ONTARIO, CANADA Abstract This paper examines the political intersection of religion and education in Ontario, Canada, from1840 to 2011. Currently, Ontario is Canada’s most ethno culturally diverse province, and Toronto, its capital city, is one of the most mul- ticultural cities in the world. The issue of public funding of religious education in Ontario has emerged at varying times in the province’s history. In particular, selective Ontario provincial election campaigns are discussed in relation to ex- ploring the degree to which public funding of religious education and religious accommodation emerged as political issues. Social mobilization theory provides a rich and varied conceptual lens through which to examine decisions that have led to the current place of state funding of religious education in Ontario.
