  • The Use and Misuse of Members' Statements
    The Use and Misuse of Members’ Statements by Evan Sotiropoulos On February 26, 2009, House of Commons Speaker Peter Milliken issued instructions to House Leaders regarding Standing Order 31 – Statements by Members. In it, he reminded them that “personal attacks are not permitted” and that he will “vigorously enforce the authority given to him to cut off Members if, in his opinion, improper statements are made.” This article looks at the 2009 CanLIIDocs 316 background to his instruction including an analysis of some 4000 Members’ Statements during the two previous minority parliaments.

  • The Limits to Influence: the Club of Rome and Canada
    THE LIMITS TO INFLUENCE: THE CLUB OF ROME AND CANADA, 1968 TO 1988 by JASON LEMOINE CHURCHILL A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2006 © Jason Lemoine Churchill, 2006 Declaration AUTHOR'S DECLARATION FOR ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF A THESIS I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation is about influence which is defined as the ability to move ideas forward within, and in some cases across, organizations. More specifically it is about an extraordinary organization called the Club of Rome (COR), who became advocates of the idea of greater use of systems analysis in the development of policy. The systems approach to policy required rational, holistic and long-range thinking. It was an approach that attracted the attention of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Commonality of interests and concerns united the disparate members of the COR and allowed that organization to develop an influential presence within Canada during Trudeau’s time in office from 1968 to 1984. The story of the COR in Canada is extended beyond the end of the Trudeau era to explain how the key elements that had allowed the organization and its Canadian Association (CACOR) to develop an influential presence quickly dissipated in the post- 1984 era. The key reasons for decline were time and circumstance as the COR/CACOR membership aged, contacts were lost, and there was a political paradigm shift that was antithetical to COR/CACOR ideas.

IVSpecial articles must be typed before being sent to the Editor, Charles Morse, K.G., Room 707 Blackburn Building, Sparks Street, Ottawa. Notes of Cases must be sent to Mr. Sidney E.

Rowell, K.C., President of the Canadian Bar Association, was guest of honour and principal speaker at the annual dinner of the American Bar Association held in Washington, D .C., on the 15th instant . The press refers to his speech as one of remarkable farce and brilliance. We quote from the Washington correspondent of the Ottawa Citizen : His speech indeed was of outstanding interest even on a programme which during the week had included the President of the United States, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Lord Reading, former Viceroy of India,- and eminent members of the American Bar. Mr. Rowell spoke both as a lawyer and as close student of international problems. His speech particularly revealed his deep interest in the great subject of world peace.

  • Post D-Day (June 6, 2016) by Dianne Pothier Professor Emeritus Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University April 21, 2016
    Post D-Day (June 6, 2016) By Dianne Pothier Professor Emeritus Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University April 21, 2016 What happens, effective June 7, 2016, if no legislation has been passed by the federal Parliament to amend the Criminal Code respecting medical assistance in dying? Currently, the absolute criminal prohibition on physician-assisted death in Canada is in force (outside Quebec1) subject to an order of a superior court judge authorizing physician- assisted death in any particular case. This judicial authorization is an exception to the suspension of the declaration of invalidity which (outside Quebec) lasts until June 6, 2016 (Carter v Canada (Attorney General) 2016 SCC 4). After that date, if there is no amendment to the Criminal Code, the suspension, and the judicial authorization exception, come to an end, and the declaration of invalidity from Carter 2015 becomes generally effective. Section 241(b) and s. 14 of the Criminal Code unjustifiably infringe s. 7 of the Charter and are of no force or effect to the extent that they prohibit physician-assisted death for a competent adult person who (1) clearly consents to the termination of life and (2) has a grievous and irremediable medical condition (including an illness, disease or disability) that causes enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual in the circumstances of his or her condition. (Carter v Canada (Attorney General), [2015] 1 SCR 331, paras. 127 and 147) The further stipulation in paragraph 127 that “The scope of this declaration is intended to respond to the factual circumstances in this case.

  • Canadian Soldiers in Bermuda During World War One
    Canadian Soldiers in Bermuda During World War One Jean-Pierre Gagnon* Three Canadian infantry battalions served in Bermuda during the First World War. Very little is known about their presence in these islands. The raison d'être ofthis article is to provide a better knowledge ofthis first Canadian garrison duty abroad. The author analyzes the selection ofthe units which were sent to Bermuda and studies and compares themfrom different points ofview. Then, he examines their stay, emphasizing the social aspects of their garrison duty. The Canadians' reaction toward it and the reciprocal feelings ofthe soldiers and the Bermudians are considered. Trois bataillons d'infanterie canadiens ont servi aux Bermudes pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. On ne sait à peu près rien de leur passage là-bas. Cet article vise à combler cette lacune. L'auteur explique le choix des unités envoyées en garnison dans ces îles de l'océan Atlantique, puis les étudie et les compare à divers points de vue. Il s'attache ensuite à leur séjour, en mettant en relief le côté humain des choses. La réaction des Canadiens à l'égard de ce service de garnison et les sentiments réciproques des soldats et des Bermudiens sont considérés. The presence of three infantry battalions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) in Bermuda during the First World War has not excited the attention ofCanadian historians. They have been indifferent to this "humiliat­ ing garrison dUty",1 focussing instead on Canada's participation in military operations in Europe. Bermudian historians seem to have adopted a similar attitude, simply ignoring or scarcely mentioning the presence of Canadian troops in the islands at that time.
