La Protection Civile Au Canada, 1938-1988
EN TEMPS DE GUERRE COMME EN TEMPS DE PAIX, GOUVERNEMENT MANQUANT, GOUVERNANCE MANQUÉE : LA PROTECTION CIVILE AU CANADA, 1938-1988 André Lamalice Thèse soumise à la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales dans le cadre des exigences du programme de doctorat en histoire avec spécialisation en études canadiennes Département d‟histoire Faculté des arts Université d‟Ottawa © André Lamalice, Ottawa, Canada, 2011 ii RÉSUMÉ À travers l‟étude des cinquante premières années de l‟histoire de la protection civile au Canada, le présent travail discute de la capacité et de la volonté politique de gouvernements nationaux successifs d‟assurer la sécurité de la population en temps de crises et d‟urgences. Cette thèse soutient qu‟à l‟exclusion d‟un bref intermède au plus fort de la Guerre froide, la fonction de protection civile ne parviendra pas à s‟imposer au nombre des priorités de la gouvernance canadienne au cours de cette période. Entre la création administrative d‟un sous-comité sur les précautions contre les raids aériens à la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qui marque les débuts de la fonction de protection civile au Canada, et l‟adoption en 1988 de la Loi sur la protection civile, un demi-siècle s‟écoule. L‟histoire de cette fonction se développe en réaction à l‟évolution du contexte international et au gré des impératifs politiques, économiques et sociaux nationaux qui marquent la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Sa généalogie emprunte à la défense nationale à la fois le vocabulaire et la structure. Longtemps confondue dans la forme et dans le fond à la défense civile, la protection civile en arrive tard dans le siècle à se défaire de ses origines imposées et à se forger une personnalité propre orientée vers la gestion des urgences. -
Ministerial Error and the Political Process: Is There a Duty to Resign? Stuart James Whitley
Ministerial Error and the Political Process: Is there a Duty to Resign? Stuart James Whitley, QC* In practice, it is seldom very hard to do one’s duty when one knows what it is. But it is sometimes exceedingly difficult to find this out. - Samuel Butler (1912) “First Principles” Note Books The honourable leader is engaged continuously in the searching of his (sic) duty. Because he is practicing the most powerful and most dangerous of the arts affecting, however humbly, the quality of life and the human search for meaning, he ought to have – if honourable, he has to have – an obsession with duty. What are his responsibilities? -Christopher Hodgkinson (1983) The Philosophy of Leadership Abstract: This article examines the nature of the duty to resign for error in the ministerial function. It examines the question of resignation as a democratic safeguard and a reflection of a sense of honour among those who govern. It concludes that there is a duty to resign for misleading Parliament, for serious personal misbehaviour, for a breach of collective responsibility, for serious mismanagement of the department for which they are responsible, and for violations of the rule of law. The obligation is owed generally to Parliament, and specifically to the Prime Minister, who has the constitutional authority in any event to dismiss a minister. The nature of the obligation is a constitutional convention, which can only be enforced by political action, though a breach of the rule of law is reviewable in the courts and may effectively disable a minister. There appears to be uneven historical support for the notion that ministerial responsibility includes the duty to resign for the errors of officials except in very narrow circumstances. -

This document may not be reproduced in whole or in part without the permission of the author. Supervisor; Dr. Ian MaePherson Abstract The modem Canadian state is secular, but it is not a neutral state. It is a liberal democracy in which the prevailing value system has shifted. The shift has been from a culture in which a commonly held religion was accorded a special place in the development of law and custom, to a culture in which religious pluralism is recognized and an institutionalized secularism obtains. The assumption would be that this would betoken a new tolerance for diversity, and in some ways it does. In other ways, the modem state behaves with an understanding of pluralism that is just as consensus oriented as the Protestant Culture that dominated in Canada until the middle of the twentieth century, and with the same illiberal tendencies. In historical terms, the effect that can be charted is one of repeating hegemonies, where respect for freedom of conscience or religion remains an incomplete ideal. -

On that date, the Canada Bill, voted several days before by the Parliament of Westminster became the Constitution Act, 1982: the Canadian Constitution had been patriated. This article gives the history of this patriation from the beginning of the talks on this subject after the first World War of 1914-18 to the unfinished constitutional compromise of 1982.
