Constitutional Questions about Canada's New Political Finance Regime Abstract The uS preme Court of Canada has considered the constitutionality of some aspects of the political finance regime that has been in place since 1974. Recent political finance reforms raise new and challenging constitutional questions. This article examines whether the political finance reforms introduced in the 2003 Elections Act and 2006 Accountability Act-limits on political contributions by individuals and an outright prohibition on union and corporate political contributions-are contrary to Charter guarantees of freedom of expression and freedom of association. Parliament's conflict of interest in regulating the democratic process and the implications that this conflict has for Charter analysis of the recent political finance reforms is highlighted.

Vincent Kazmierski* Something to Talk About: Is There a Charter Right to Access Government Information? Can sections 2(b) and 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms be interpreted to protect a constitutional right of access to government information? The author argues that the constitutional principle of democracy provides a foundation for judicial recognition of such a constitutional right of access even though the inclusion of an explicit right to access to government information was rejected during the process of drafting the Charter Given that the Supreme Court of Canada's section 2(b) and 3 jurisprudence has been informed by the principle of democracy, the application of the principle may now guide the Court to include protection of access to government information in its evolving interpretation of those. Charter rights. Finally, a hypothetical case is considered in order to outline ways in which a constitutional right to access may be justifiably limited.

  • Editorial a “Yes” to Housefather Is a “No” to Harper on Oct
    www.theseniortimes.com September 2015 Editorial A “Yes” to Housefather is a “No” to Harper on Oct. 19 It’s been a long ten years with Stephen Harper and his Conservatives running the country and it is high time to change direction. First with his minority government and the last four years with his majority, Harper has transformed public policy in Canada in a frightening way. It is alien to the liberal and progressive values that have been the hallmark of this country under Liberal and Progressive Conservative governments. The transformation has been slow but inexorable, and long in consequence. It is rooted in an ideology that harkens back to Harper’s days as a prime mover in the Unite the Right movement that is committed to reducing the role of government in protecting vulnerable citizens and the environment from the excesses of capitalism. It kicked off its ten-year rule with such seemingly innocuous moves as scrapping the compulsory long-form Census, which has seriously compromised the value of essential data, in the name of protecting individual rights not to participate. The Conservatives have inflicted harsher sentences and longer waits for parole, choosing repression over rehabilitation, and forcing the provinces to build more jails, even as violent crime is receding. They scrapped the compulsory long-gun registry over the opposition of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, who said it was an essential tool. They refused to turn over the data to Quebec. They imposed gag orders on government scientists talking in public and put strict controls on MPs and ministers giving interviews to the media.

  • An Examination of Legislative Sequels Produced by the National Assembly of Quebec in Response to Judicial Invalidation of the Charter of the French Language
    Talking Back: An Examination of Legislative Sequels Produced by the National Assembly of Quebec in Response to Judicial Invalidation of the Charter of the French Language Sophia F. Müller Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Post-Doctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Political Science School of Political Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Sophia F. Müller, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 i Abstract Grounding its approach in historical and discursive institutionalist frameworks, this thesis examines the process of judicial review through an evaluation of Hogg et al.’s Charter dialogue hypothesis as it pertains to judicial invalidation of sections of the Charter of the French Language (CFL) and the legislative sequels produced by the National Assembly of Quebec (i.e. Bills 178 and 86). When examined from an historical institutionalist perspective, the National Assembly of Quebec appears to have strategized its response through an assertion of parliamentary sovereignty, rather than the desire to engage in a “dialogue” with the Supreme Court of Canada. However, a closer examination of how the Bourassa government crafted Bill 178 reveals that the first ‘legislative response’ to the Supreme Court’s decision in Devine and Ford was crafted exclusively by the executive branch, in virtual secrecy among a handful of Bourassa’s cabinet members. Displeased with the outcome of Bill 178, Anglophone civil society actors challenged the legitimacy of the CFL, as well as the notwithstanding mechanism at an international level, with their submission of Ballantyne, Davidson, McIntyre v. Canada to the United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC).

Reporter - December 1, 2014 # 4260 ! 0 MONTREAL — Israel is already an issue in Mount Royal even before a federal election has been called. Anthony Housefather, who was elected the riding’s Liberal candidate on Nov. 30 after defeating Jonathan Goldbloom, said he will not take a back seat to anyone when it comes to support for Israel. “As the MP for Mount Royal, I understand I have a special responsibility to speak out against anti- Semitism, intolerance and xenophobia, and to stand four-square in solidarity with the people of Israel,” he said in his speech to delegates before the vote. In an interview after his victory, Housefather said the Conservatives “may try to make Israel a wedge issue in next year’s election, but it is my job and the job of the [Liberal] party to prevent that, to show that we are second to no one in support of Israel.” However, he promised not to run “a U.S.-style negative campaign.” Housefather, 43, mayor of Côte St. Luc for the past nine years and a lawyer, took the majority of the 1,948 ballots cast at the nomination meeting held, because of its size, at two venues: the Côte St. Luc Gymnasium and the Côte des Neiges Sports Centre.
